Safety Summary

WARNING
DO NOT use this equipment without first reading and understanding this instruction sheet. If you are unable to understand the warnings, cautions and instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or technical personnel if applicable, before attempting to install this equipment - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.
Snap buttons MUST be fully engaged and aligned in the proper height adjustment hole of each leg before use. This ensures that the legs are securely locked and an even height adjustment is achieved.
Make certain all screws, nuts and/or bolts are tight at all times.
Inspect rubber tips on the leg extensions for rips, wear or if they are missing. Replace them immediately if any of these conditions exist.
Leg extensions with rubber tips MUST be in contact with the floor at all times.
Toilet seat MUST be down before attempting to sit on the commode. Pail holders are not constructed to support the weight of an individual, only the pail and its contents.
Use the arm supports only for assistance. DO NOT attempt to use the arms to support full body weight.
Arms should be unlatched and dropped to assist in transfer onto/off the device.
Users with limited physical capabilities should be supervised or assisted when using the commode.
The Commode listed has a weight limitation of 250 lbs (114 kg). Consult a qualified technician if assistance is required in selecting the appropriate Invacare commode for you.
INSTALLATION WARNING
Before removing/installing seat and lid, allow seat/ring to reach room temperature if exposed to cold. This will help prevent the seat clamps from breaking when being removed/installed onto commode back frame rail.
