3.11 Accessories (Options)
We recommend BRODA accessories for use only on BRODA chairs. The correct installation of the BRODA
accessory is very important. We recommend that the BRODA chair is ordered with the required accessories already
installed. Only authorized caregivers who thoroughly understand the accessory installation procedures should
attempt to install their BRODA accessories without assistance from their local BRODA representative. BRODA
does not recommend use of other manufacturer's accessories on BRODA chairs.
