Maintenance Tips

• Clean and disinfect after each use: Use hospital-grade disinfectant on frame, seat, and armrests to maintain hygiene.
• Rinse thoroughly after shower use: Remove soap residue to prevent buildup, corrosion, and slippery surfaces.
• Inspect swing arms regularly: Check locking mechanisms for secure engagement and smooth, stable movement.
• Tighten all hardware: Periodically inspect bolts, hinges, and frame connections to maintain bariatric load stability.
• Check weight capacity compliance: Do not exceed bariatric limits to ensure safe use and structural integrity.
• Examine seat and commode opening: Look for cracks, stress marks, or warping in the plastic seat.
• Inspect non-slip feet: Ensure rubber tips are intact and provide stable grip on wet bathroom surfaces.
• Dry completely after cleaning: Prevent moisture retention to reduce rust and extend frame life.
