Assembly/Adjustments

Your new B+B commode chair will be delivered in a B+B original cardboard box. In order to avoid transport damage, attachments are delivered separately with the product. With some workmanship, you can adjust the chair by yourself. Please contact your dealer if you have any questions.

Seat

Seat height
The height of the TS-Care model can be adjusted to five-seat heights. Work in pairs to carry out this work and lie the chair on its back.

Remove the four circular fixation clips on the frame.
Now lift the upper part of the frame up until you reach the required height.
Then refix the four circular fixation clips.

Seat padding
The seat padding has a non-slip underside.

Seat
For better cleaning, you can remove the seat padding. Pull the front seat edge upward out of the support.

Lift the toilet seat up.

Put the toilet seat back down:

The seat must click into place in the three locking clamps.

Using the toilet

Using the toilet bucket
In order to remove the toilet bucked from the commode chair, pull it out of the guide rails from the back.

Use on the toilet
With the commode chair, you can use the toilet without the toilet bucket. To do this, first, remove the toilet bucket as described above. You can now move your TS-Care over any standard toilet bowl.

Lifting points
You can lift the commode chair using the metal frame, in order to lift it over obstacles or up steps. Avoid lifting the commode by the seat and backrest.

Storage/shipping

If the chair is to be stored or shipped, all loose parts which are not fixed must be removed and packed individually. The individually packed parts can then be packed together in a larger cardboard box. We recommend that you keep the original packing and store it for these purposes so that it is available when needed. Your chair is then optimally protected against environmental influences during storage or transportation.

Repairs

Repairs and servicing work must only be carried out by authorized partners (medical supply stores or dealers). To find a partner in your area, please contact our Customer Service on tel.: +49 (0)700/6000 7070.
