FOOTRESTS
Your footrests may be packed separately to the main chair. Please examine your footrests for
any visible damage before use. If you see any damage or suspect a fault, please contact your
supplier immediately. In this case, please do not use your product as it may compromise
your safety.
1. Remove the footrests from their packaging.
2. You will see on each of the front legs of the main frame about 150 mm high from
the castor 2 retaining lugs either side.
3. Take the footrests and align the holes in the inverted 'U' section with the lugs and
lower down into place.
4. Rotate the footrests towards the commode so that they clip into place.
BRAKED CASTORS
Do not attempt to push the Bewl shower chair with the brakes applied, this will damage the
brake mechanism and may compromise the safety of the user.
NB. Please regularly check the castors and the brakes for proper operation and that the
castors are securely fitted to the chair legs.
CASTOR REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the existing castors using a short reach 8 mm Allen key (available from
Aidapt).
2. Replacement M12x35 bolts are
provided with each castor, the
removed bolts should be disposed
of.
3. Apply a thread locking fluid to the
bolt to lock the assembly securely.
We recommend the use of Bondloc
B243 or Locktite 243.
4. Assembly should be screwed
tightly and the castor should sit
flush with the frame. (i.e. there
should be no gap between the
castor and the frame)
NB: Where leg extension pins are in place it is recommended that the extension pins
are replaced at the same time as the castor.
