Founded in 1872, Gendron is the oldest manufacturer of wheelchairs in the United States.
Your Shower/Commode chair has been carefully assembled at our plant in Northwest Ohio. With proper care
and maintenance, it will provide many years of reliable service. Before using your chair, please read this
manual thoroughly.
CHAIR MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY INSPECTION
5” Caster Wheel- The wheel design is high strength, high durability, and maintenance-free. Sealed precision
bearing raceway guarantees superior rollability and performance. Periodically examine tires for wear and
debris. Worn tires will make your wheelchair difficult to propel and hold in place. All wheels should be replaced
at the same time to prevent chair from pulling to one side or not locking properly.
5” Brake Casters – Brake casters do not swivel. A foot pedal brake is built into both
brake casters. To take off caster, unfasten bolt, then pull out caster. When installing
the caster, ensure that the bolt is fastened tightly and the caster is oriented toward the
backrest.
Brakes- To engage the brakes, press foot on each brake pedal until it fully lowers. To
disengage brakes, lightly kick the brake pedal up into its normal resting position.
Occasionally check wheels for wear and debris as those can affect the performance of
the brakes.
5” Swivel Casters - Replace wheels that are loose and casters that flutter. The 5” wheel is secured to the
frame by a cross bolt at the stem of the caster. To take off caster, unfasten bolt, then pull out caster. When
installing the caster, ensure that the bolt is fastened tightly to the frame.
Footrests- To remove footrests rotate lock levers away from footrest and lift
footrest assembly off.
Seat Pad and Backrest Fabric- Only premium grade high density
polyethylene is used on the seats. Replace immediately if material is cracked
or mounting holes are stripped. The adjustable backrest is made with water
repellant Phifertex fabric. Replace immediately if tears in fabric are present.
Cleaning and Polishing- All components may be cleaned with warm water
and a mild detergent. Wipe dry immediately with a soft clean cloth

WARNING!
BACKREST ASSEMBLY
BASE FRAME
Back Assembly- Insert back assembly into lower frame and
line up the two holes in back assembly with two holes in the
lower frame. Insert bolt with washer through hole and install
nut with washer. Repeat alignment on other side and install the
other two bolts, washers, and nuts. Tighten all bolts and nuts
until snug.
You must heed the following warnings. Read all instructions before using the shower commode chair.
Failure to observe these safety warnings may result in personal injury or mechanical failure.
Maximum weight capacity for the chair is 750 Lbs. Do not exceed the weight limit of the chair.
Never lift the shower commode chair while it is occupied.
Do not tilt the chair back when occupied.
Do not lift the chair by any removable parts including armrests and footrests. Lifting the chair by these parts,
even if the chair is not occupied, may cause personal injury or damage to the chair.
Only use the backrest with all straps properly latched. Failure to do so could cause serious injury.
Do not move forward in seat to reach for objects. Do not pick objects up from the floor by reaching down
between your knees.
Do not stand on footrests. When entering or exiting the chair, always fold up the footrests.
Always be sure the brakes are locked when entering or exiting the chair.
Be sure armrests are locked in position.
Chair can safely go over a 1 ¾” shower threshold.
Do not attempt to go up or down steps.
Do not ride over curbs or obstacles.
Do not use the chair outdoors.
Do not park the chair on an incline.
Do not use the chair on a slope grade steeper than 10%. (A 10% slope grade means one foot in elevation
for every ten feet of slope length.)
