5. Check that all locking knobs, bolts, buckles and other parts are tight at all times.
6. For any user who may experience sudden body movement (e.g., spastic motions), attach your
commode securely to the floor or wall with straps and screws to prevent tipping.

8. Keep your commode clean and sanitary.
