Getting in and out from the front:
• Move the shower commode wheelchair as close as possible to the
front of the seat.
• Lock the shower commode wheelchair by setting the parking brake.
• Fold the foot plate up.
• Make sure that the seat is in a secure and stable position.
• Now slide onto the seat of the TS-Aqua by turning your body
around. Make sure that you are sitting as far back in the seat as
possible. Now fold the foot plate down and place your feet on it.

5.2. Moving around

Variant 1 of the shower commode wheelchair is moved around by an
assistant. The assistant can move, steer and brake the shower commode
wheelchair with the handles.
Variant 2 of the shower commode wheelchair can also be moved with
an assistant, and in addition the user can move it independently with
the drive wheels. Practise moving it carefully to start with until you are
used to moving around with the shower commode wheelchair.
Shower commode wheelchairs have only limited anti-tip and anti-slip
security. Particular care is necessary when braking, starting to move
or turning on sloping ground. Leaning out of the shower commode
wheelchair to an extreme degree increases the risk of tipping over.

5.3. Using the commode

Using the commode
Remove the commode container from the shower commode wheelchair
by pulling it out of the guides from the back.
Usage on the toilet
The shower commode wheelchair can be used on the toilet without the
commode container. First remove the commode container as described
above. Now the TS-Aqua can be moved over any standard toilet.
Lifting points
You can lift the commode wheelchair by the metal frame in order to
carry it over obstacles or stairs. Avoid lifting the commode chair by the
seat and backrest.

6. Transport

To transport the wheelchair as easily as possible all removable parts
(drive wheels and seat back) must be removed and the foot plate must
be folded up.

7. Storage and shipping

If the wheelchair is to be stored or shipped, all removable and
unsecured parts must be removed and packed separately in boxes. The
separately packed parts can then be packed into one larger box. We
recommend keeping the original packaging so it is available for this
purpose if required. It provides optimum protection for your wheelchair
from environmental influences during storage or transport.
