Insert both height adjustment tubes into
the base legs. Ensure the holes on the
height adjustment tubes align with the
holes on the base legs.
Secure both height adjustment tubes at
the required height using 1 large securing
clip on each base leg.

seat base 1”.
- Check to ensure all securing clips are
fully inserted.
- Ensure both height adjustment tubes are

step 1 assembly
Using the grooves on the underside of
the wheeled base track as a guide, place
the wheeled base track onto the height
adjustment tubes.
Position the wheeled base track on the
height adjustment tubes so that the 4
threaded holes on the wheeled base track
are aligned with the 4 holes on the top of
the height adjustment tubes.
Secure the wheeled base track in
position by screwing 1 large fixing knob
and tube washer through each of the 4
holes in the height adjustment tubes and
into the threaded holes on the wheeled
base track.

Slide the back rest into the seat base until
the clip pins click into the holes on the
seat base.
The clip pins secure the chair back frame
in position.

pins in and slide the seat back out of the
seat base.
With the wheeled base track assembled
on a flat surface apply the brakes on the 4
castor wheels.
Slide the seat base into the wheeled
track by aligning the track wheels with
the grooves in the track. When inserting
the seat base into the track there will
be 4 clicks as the track wheels pass the
secondary brakes.
Slide the seat base into the track until the
primary brakes secure the seat base in
position.

into position in the arm rest clip.
Slide the arm rest lock over the arm rest
clip to lock the arm rest in position.

The armrests can be easily swung-away
when required.
Unlock the armrest by sliding the armrest
lock away from the armrest. Once this is
done the armrest can be swung away. The
clip pin which secures the armrest in
position stops the armrest from rotating
to far.
NOTE - The armrest locks should always
be used when the armrests aren’t in the
swing-away position.
Ensuring the correct orientation attach
the seat cushion to the seat base by
pushing the 4 locating lugs on the
underside of the cushion into the
connectors on the seat base.
Firmly press the cushion into position
so that the 4 locating lugs are securely
located in the connectors.
NOTE
- To remove the cushion, carefully remove
one lug at a time from the connectors until
all 4 locating lugs are removed.

Rotate the chair so that you have easy
access to the underside of the seat base.
From the back of the chair slide the
commode bucket into the 2 brackets on
the underside of the seat base.
Ensure the commode bucket is pushed in
far enough that the brackets securely hold
the commode bucket in position. The
commode bucket should be centred under
the opening in the cushion.
Insert both height adjustment tubes into
the bath base legs. Ensure the holes on
the height adjustment tubes align with the
holes on the bath base legs.
Secure both height adjustment tubes at
the required height using 1 large securing
clip on each base leg.
NOTE
- Each height adjustment hole raises the
seat base 1”.
- Check to ensure all securing clips are
fully inserted.
- Ensure both height adjustment tubes are
aligned at the same height.
