Assembling the Shower Chair

1. Put the shower chair on its side on a flat, stable surface.
2. Press the snap buttons on the back support tubes and slide the
back support tubes into the back support brackets on the leg
frame until both snap buttons are fully engaged inside the
holes in the back support brackets.
NOTE: Two audible "clicks" will be heard.
• For model 95‐2 (DETAIL "C"):
1. Place the seat upside down on a flat, stable surface.
2. Put a leg over one socket in the seat and align.
3. Insert the leg into the socket until it is fully seated and the
socket tabs snap into the socket tab windows.
4. Pull up on the leg to ensure that it has "locked" into place.
5. Repeat STEPS 1‐4 for the remaining three legs.
6. Put the back into the slot in the seat.
7. Push down on the back until it snaps securely in place.
8. Ensure the compression buttons are fully visible through the
notches in the back of the seat.
NOTE: If both compression tabs are visible, the back is installed properly.

snaps into place and both compression tabs are visible.
