Operating Safety Warnings
Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustment should be performed while the tilt commode is unoccupied.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in
several combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional BEFORE attempting active use of the
tilt commode.
Always verify that the back assembly is secure PRIOR to use when an attendant is used to propel or lift the tilt
commode. Check for any signs of looseness or deterioration and if found, contact a qualified technician. DO
NOT attempt to move the tilt commode by using the back assembly is it is found to be unsecure or have
deteriorated.
DO NOT sit or transfer into the commode unless it is fully open and the commode seat assembly is properly
fastened to the commode frame though the use of clips.
DO NOT TRAVERSE, CLIMB or GO DOWN ramps or slopes greater than 9 degrees
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways
DO NOT attempt to ride over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your commode to tip over and cause
bodily harm to you or damage to the commode.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your
knees.
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery. This will change your center of gravity and may cause you
to tip over.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward direction you are reaching as the commode may tip over.

WHEEL LOCKS ARE NOT BRAKES. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving commode with wheel locks.
These locks are to be engaged by the occupant or attendant when the commode is stationary and prior to use
by the occupant.
CASTER LOCKS ARE NOT BRAKES. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving commode with caster locks.
These locks are to be engaged by the attendant when the commode is stationary and prior to use by the
occupant.
DO NOT tip the commode without assistance.
DO NOT use an escalator to move a commode between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur.
Before attempting to transfer in and out of the commode, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap
distance. Turn both casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto. When transferring to and from the
commode, ALWAYS ENGAGE BOTH WHEEL and CASTER LOCKS.
DO NOT use parts, accessories or adapters other than those authorized by Future Mobility Healthcare Inc.
Otherwise, the warranty is void.
DO NOT attempt to lift the commode by any removable (detachable) part. Lifting by means of any removable
(detachable) parts of a commode may result in injury to the user and/or assistant or damage to the commode.
