It is not intended as a wheelchair. • Do not place fingers or foreign objects into any of the exposed tubular sections as this can lead to serious injury. • When operating the brake mechanism, do not stamp on the lever as this may cause damage to the mechanism and possible failure. • Not for use in the shower. Dry immediately if the Linton becomes wet. fig. 8 fig. 9 fig. 10 fig. 11 fig. 12 The commode is now ready to use. When the commode is not in use the grey seat cover can be placed over the aperture seat (see fig. 12) WARNING Footrests are only for use to support the feet e.g. when moving the user over short distances. They should not be used to stand on while getting in or out of the commode as this may cause a tipping hazard. If the user whilst sitting on the chair has their feet on the footrests then they must remain upright as to lean forward with their feet on the footrests will cause a tipping hazard. Please note the footrests can be easily folded out of the way. PLEASE NOTE A lap strap (VA121S) can be fitted to the chair, which, if required, can help to secure the user in the chair.
