USE OF THE COMMODE
When moving always lift the commode by placing your hands on the tubular metal frame beneath the
blow moulded seat.
•
Do not allow children or unauthorized persons to play with or use the commode.
•
Do not rock back and forth or sideways when using the commode as this will cause excessive
stress and possible damage and failure which may cause injury.
•
Do not use the commode outside the home or on uneven surfaces (such as in the garden) as
this will cause stress to the legs and possible damage which may cause injury. It is not intended
as a wheelchair.
•
Do not place fingers or foreign objects into any of the exposed tubular sections as this can lead
to serious injury.
•
When operating the brake mechanism, do not stamp on the lever as this may cause damage to
the mechanism and possible failure.
•
Not for use in the shower. Dry immediately if the Linton becomes wet.

The commode is now ready
to use. When the commode
is not in use the grey seat
cover can be placed over the
aperture seat (see fig. 12)
WARNING
Footrests are only for use to support the feet e.g. when moving the user over short distances.
They should not be used to stand on while getting in or out of the commode as this may cause
a tipping hazard. If the user whilst sitting on the chair has their feet on the footrests then they
must remain upright as to lean forward with their feet on the footrests will cause a tipping hazard.
Please note the footrests can be easily folded out of the way.
PLEASE NOTE
A lap strap (VA121S) can be fitted to the chair, which, if required, can help to secure the user in
the chair.
