Fixing and Maintenance Instructions Shower Chairs & Seats 09/11/10 1011 1. All Shower Seats Please examine your shower seat for any visible damage before using. If you see any damage or suspect a fault, please contact your supplier. In this case, please do not use your product as it may compromise your safety. U 2. Cleaning All of the product components are manufactured from quality materials. However, it is very important that you only clean your shower chairs and stools using a non-abrasive cleaner or mild detergent with a soft cloth avoid using lime scale remover. Abrasive cleaners e.g. AJAX and or abrasive cleaning pads will seriously damage your product beyond repair. Certain products have clip on/clip off backs and/or seats, you can easily remove these if required, clean with a mild detergent and soft cloth in a warm water solution. Do not exceed 50oC when cleaning the seat cover and/or back as this will permanently damage the plastic. N.B. Regular daily cleaning will reduce the build up of limescale on your product. Under No Circumstances use any abrasive cleaners or materials on any of the components. Also check that the cleaner you intend to use is suitable for ABS, Vinyl, Polymer Plastics and Thermo plastic rubbers and Polyurethane Rubber. 3. Adjustments to Extension Legs (if applicable) Please adjust the legs prior to installation. Remove the ‘E’ clip from the extension leg and extend all four legs evenly to the desired height ensuring you do not exceed the last punched hole of the extension leg. (see fig. 1) Once you have achieved the desired height; reinstall the ‘E’ clip, ensuring that it has passed through the extension leg and is fitting neatly and snug around the outside leg. (see fig. 2). Never install the extension legs unevenly or slanting, this will compromise the safety of the user. 4. Fixing the Shower Seat Choose a suitable fixing for the substrate that you intend to fix the shower seat to and secure the back plate of the shower seat to the substrate Make sure that the fixing is secure before allowing it to be used. 5. Testing the Shower Seat Once you have installed the shower seat check your installation and the movement of the shower seat by raising the set from the down position to the up position. • Check that there are no obstruction • Check that the movement of the seat is smooth and unhindered • Check that the seat legs (if applicable) are sitting evenly on the floor 6. Raising and Lowering the Shower Seat To raise your seat, simply lift the front of the seat and the legs will automatically fold inwards towards the wall. Reverse the action to lower. 7. Folding Action If required, your shower seat can be folded up when not in use. The seat is held in position by friction only. Once you have installed the seat, check that there is sufficient friction to keep the seat in the upright position when required. If the seat starts to descend, then you will need to tighten the bolts either side of the seat hinges. This operation should be sufficient to maintain the seat in the closed position. Additionally, it will be necessary for the bolts to be tightened periodically, if the seat starts to open on its own accord. 8. Threaded Leg Adjustment Your shower seat may have special threaded leg adjustment as opposed to the standard extension leg. To adjust the height of your seat, carefully open the stainless steel M10 locking nut and undo the threaded stem to the desired height. On no account exceed a finished height of 470 mm measured from the top of the seat to the bottom of the black circular foot, as this may compromise the safety of the user. Once you have reached the desired height, lock the stem in place by tightening the lock nut against the black indented bush. NB. Occasionally the extension stems may be slightly angled inwards to the frame. This is not a fault and will not impair the function or safety of the product, provided that you tighten off the lock nut as required. 9. Use of Bath Oils Caution should be observed if you are using any form of bath oils or oily skin preparation with your shower chair as this may impair your natural contact skin resistance. In the event of using any such oil, your seat must be thoroughly cleaned with a suitable detergent to break down any oily residue. Failure to observe this recommendation could impair your safety. 10. Reissue If you reissue or are about to reissue this product, please thoroughly check all components for their safety. This includes: • PAT test for electrical items • Tightness of all nuts/ bolts/castors • Other screw in/ bolt in/ push in components. • Also check all upholstery for security, splits, etc. If in any doubt, please do not issue or use, but immediately contact your supplier for service support. 11.
