BRAKED CASTORS
Do not attempt to push the Bewl shower chair with the brakes applied, this will damage the brake
mechanism and may compromise the safety of the user.
NB. Please regularly check the castors and the brakes for proper operation and that the castors
are securely fitted to the chair legs.
CASTOR REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the existing castors using a short
reach 8 mm Allen key (available from Aidapt).
2. Replacement M12x35 bolts are provided with
each castor, the removed bolts should be
disposed of.
3. Apply a thread locking fluid to the bolt to lock
the assembly securely. We recommend the
use of Bondloc B243 or Locktite 243.
4. Assembly should be screwed tightly and the
castor should sit flush with the frame. (i.e.
there should be no gap between the castor
and the frame)
NB: Where leg extension pins are in place it is recommended that the extension pins are replaced
at the same time as the castor.
For further technical details contact Aidapt.
APERTURE COVER
When transferring to and from the Bewl Shower Chair, be careful not to apply weight to the grey
removable toileting aperture cover. This may cause the padded aperture cover to push through.
NB. The padded aperture cover is not designed to be load bearing.
COMMODE BUCKET
To remove the commode bucket, simply slide the bucket out from the chrome runners at the rear of the
commode. Cover the top of the bucket to avoid splashing, carefully dispose of the contents into a
proper sluice or WC. Never use an open drain, sink or basin. This could cause a serious health risk. To
avoid the possibility of trapping, do not slide the commode pan on or off the rails while somebody is
sitting on the chair.
Clean out the residue with a suitable disinfectant and refit to the commode after use
NB. Always remove the commode bucket prior to removing the grey horseshoe seat.
SEAT
The Bewl comes with a detachable grey horseshoe seat (see Fig. 1) as standard. A pear shaped aperture
seat is also available (see Fig. 2) and may be required by the user, based on the risk assessment.
