6. Safety advisories for use
When using the chair, the following
safety instructions must be observed:
Danger of slipping!
Before using, check to be sure the seat is
securely pressed into the seat frame.
When sitting down into the chair, the user must
not sit on the front edge of the seat or seat
cushion. Be sure the user sits all the way back
on the seat
Danger of tipping over!
The chair may be used when sitting only when
the armrests are locked into position.
The chair may be used only on solid, even
surfaces.
Do not lean out of the chair.
For the height adjustable chair, follow the height
adjustment instructions when adjusting the
height.
Adjust all four 4 chair legs to the same height.
When adjusting the height of the chair, always
observe the applicable instructions.
Do not use the chair when the leg suction caps
are worn!
Danger of breakage!
The chair is suitable only for sitting on by
persons. Be sure to observe the maximum
allowable patient body weight (specified on the
nameplate).
Never attempt to carry or lift the chair while a
patient is sitting in it.
Never expose the chair to wide temperature
variations. Observe the instructions concerning
the temperature range of use (see: 1.4).
Do not grab hold of or pull on attached objects,
such as armrest cushions.
Danger of pinching!
To prevent body parts or objects from getting
pinched, never reach into the hinge area when
turning the armrests up or down. Be sure to
check that the hinge areas are unobstructed
before moving the armrests!
To prevent body parts from getting pinched, do
not reach between the seat and the frame when
pressing the seat into the seat frame.
Danger of falling!
Sitting down, standing up and moving the patient
should be supervised by a qualified care-worker,
as to the health condition of the patient.
Use of the chair by patients who do not have
complete physical control and normal movement
must be done with supervision.
Warning! Danger of Injury!
At surface temperatures over 40°C (104°F),
there’s a risk of injury. Therefore do not expose
the chair to any source of heat (exposure to the
sun, storing near a heater, cleaning with hot
water) just before the chair is used. Before using
the chair, allow it to cool down.

9. Setting up the chair for use
The product is delivered partially pre-assembled.
The following assembly instructions must be
carried out before first-time use:
1. Swivel the armrests to the back, insert the
backrest into the tubes of the chair frame and
push it down until it hits the striker of the lower
frame.
2. Swivel the armrests forwards until they click
into the slots of the backrest and the locking
pins click into the lower frame. Be sure they
are securely in place.
3. For chairs with height adjustment, the seat
height of the chair is set at its lowest position
for delivery (Base setting). Adjust the height as
necessary (see: 10.7).

10. Using the chair
When using the chair, the following points
must be adhered to:
Before use it must be assured that the
chair is in a proper condition for safe use. If
necessary, depending on the physical and
strength limitations of the user (patient’s
ability to move and muscle strength),
sitting down and getting up should not be
done without assistance from a care
worker. The chair may not be used for
long patient transport times.
10.1 Sitting down
Before sitting down in the chair, be sure it is
secured against slipping away (see: 10.9) and
tipping over, that the armrests are locked into
position, that the shower/commode seat is properly
mounted, and that the footrests are folded away to
the side or folded up.
The patient must stand as
closely as possible near the
chair. Then he has to sit down
slowly on the whole seat
during supporting himself with
using both armrests.
If this is not possible due to his
physical limitations, then a
care-worker must assist him. If
necessary a patient lifter may
have to be used.
Caution – danger of falling!
To prevent the patient from
falling out of the chair, be sure
the patient is seated
completely on the chair, and
not just on the edge.
For transporting the patient, be
sure he is leaned back against
the seat back and be sure he
uses the footrests.
10.2 Getting up
Before getting up, be sure the chair is stable and
secured against slipping away (see: 10.9) and
tipping over, that the armrests are locked in
position, and the footrests are folded away to the
side or folded up.
The patient must then move his body forward until
his feet are flat on the floor.
The patient must then place
both hands on the armrests
and slowly lift himself up.
The patient must not lean too
far forwards, in order to avoid
falling.
The patient should have the
care worker assist him when
getting up.
10.3 Swivelling the armrests outwards
By pulling out the locking pin, the locking
mechanism is disengaged and the armrests may
be swivelled back. When swivelling the armrests
up, check to be sure that the armrests are properly
seated in the locking position of the backrest and
locked by the locking pin.
Check the locking mechanism on a regular
basis for impaired function arising from
calcium deposits, which can impair the
movement.
10.4 Removing the shower / commode seat
The seat can be removed from its receptacles on
the chair frame for the purpose of cleaning or
exchanging simply by pulling it up.
10.5 Removing the seat back cushion
The back cushion is fastened to the cross-brace or
backrest with studs. Press the buttons to remove
the back cushion.
10.6 Handling the commode pan
Push the commode pan under the seat from
behind the chair. To remove the pan, lift it up
slightly and pull it out.
For the model with a 2-piece toilet seat, the
commode pan can also be removed from above by
lifting the seat and put back as well.
10.7 Adjusting the seat height
For adjusting the seat for the patient or for placing
over a toilet, the chair models Würzburg, Ulm, Kiel
are height adjustable.
The height-adjustment (2 stages: each 25 mm) is
done through the 4 leg inserts in the chair frame.
Danger of tipping over!
Be sure that all four chair legs are
adjusted to the same height and that
the screws are tightened by hand.
Step 1
To do the adjustment, we recommend laying the
chair on its side. First remove the commode pan (if
at hand) and the seat unit.

Step 2
Using an Allen wrench (A/F 5 mm), completely
remove the screws (LH rotation) in the frame.
When loosening the screws, press against the
locking nut (underside).
Step 3
Pull the leg out or push it in until the hole lines up
with the next adjustment position.
Using the locking nut, screw the leg (right hand
rotation) until tight (back side).
Clean the chair before re-using (see care
instructions).

12. Care
In general the chair can be cleaned using
a mild conventional cleaning and
disinfecting agent. Simply wipe the chair
with clean water and cloth, and then wipe
dry with a clean cloth.
Do not use an abrasive scouring agent or cleaner
(read the product instructions!) that contain
aggressive solvents (acids, thinners). Do not use
stiff cleaning brushes, as these will damage the
plastic surfaces or cause deposits to build up on
the plastic parts and other materials.
Keep the product clean and clean it in
regular intervals. In the sensitive areas is
hygiene very important.

13. Maintenance, Repair
The cause of accidents or damage may be due to
the late detection of wear and/or improper use, as
well as irregular or no maintenance.
For safety reasons and for preventing
accidents, the chair must undergo a
complete maintenance at least once a
year. (Refer to the Medical Products Act
and the MPBetreibV).
Maintenance
Periodic safety-related controls are needed:
Check for apparent damage:
(cracks, fractures, loose parts).
All screwed connections for tightness
(especially the frame).
Function of the armrests and locking pins.
Check accessories for defects.
Repair
If you have questions concerning maintenance
and repairs to the chair, then contact an
authorized dealer or medical equipment supply
outlet.
When making repairs, use only original spare
parts from REBOTEC. Observe all advisories
concerning guarantee and warranty.
Never make any unauthorised modifications or
conversions to the chair. These will only
adversely affect the safety and function of the
chair. In such cases REBOTEC assumes no
liability!
Follow all the instructions when ordering spare
parts, re-use and product lifetime of the chair.
After a complete maintenance or repair of the
chair is done, we recommend a complete
cleaning for assuring hygiene. Follow the
cleaning instructions.
For documenting maintenance, REBOTEC
supplies a Maintenance Report – Chairs.
Here you will find information on
maintenance and forms for documentation.
You can order the User Manual and
Maintenance Report or see via our website
at www.rebotec.de. It is possible to print
out the information and to read it as needed.
