Arm Operation
The arms can flip up to aid side
transfer. Simply lift the front of the
arms to flip up, and then push down
to lower. The brakes should always be
applied before transferring.
24” Rear Wheel Kit - Installation
There is an optional kit available for the Aston commode which adds two
24” wheels and brakes, to allow the commode to be propelled by either
an attendant or the commode user (part code CWC003KIT). To install:
1.
Without the 24” wheels, set the castor height to suit to the user.
2.
Swivel the two rear castors so they are pointing forward and then
lock. This is to prevent the castors interfering with the 24” wheels
when installed.
3.
Install the two brackets which receive the axles for the 24”
wheels so that the rear castors will be approximately 3mm from
the ground when the 24” wheels are added.
4.
The wheels have quick release pins as axles. Press the button on
the quick release pin and insert through the centre of the wheel
and then insert the wheel and axle into the bracket mounted to
the chair. After installing, release the button and check the
wheels are secured on to the frame. Repeat for the other wheel.
5.
Install the brakes in the position shown overleaf, ensuring that the
brakes operate securely, correctly and easily.
Quick Release Wheel Operation
To remove or install the rear wheels without tools, press the button on
the quick release pin in the centre of the wheel whilst pulling or pushing
to insert or remove the wheel. Ensure the wheel is secure before use.
