Description
The Drive Shower Chair with Back and Removable Padded Arms 12445KD-1 is a shower chair for someone who can step into the shower and wants padded arms to push up from. The aluminum frame is rated 350 lbs (159 kg), and the seat is 16 by 13 in (41 by 33 cm).
What does it do and how does it work?
- Seat and back: a blow-moulded seat with drainage holes and a blow-moulded back with a carry handle.
- Arms: padded armrests that slide into their mounts and lift out; the space between them is 18.5 in (47 cm).
- Frame: corrosion-proof aluminum, 18.5 in (47 cm) wide, 9.75 lb (4.4 kg).
- Height: spring-loaded push pins set the seat top from 16.5 to 21.5 in (42 to 55 cm) in 1 in (2.5 cm) steps.
- Assembly: the back tubes and arms slide in and click into their mounts.
- Folding: the arms come off, but the frame does not fold.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- It suits a person who can step into the shower and wants arms for pushing up.
- It suits a side transfer: both arms lift out of the way.
- Choose the RTL12505 for a wider 21.75 in seat.
- Choose the 12021KD-1 for a 500 lb user and no arms.
Will it fit?
- The seat is 16 by 13 in (41 by 33 cm), and the arms leave 18.5 in (47 cm) between them.
- The frame is 18.5 in (47 cm) wide and 17 in (43 cm) deep; check the shower floor and the space around it.
- The seat top adjusts from 16.5 to 21.5 in (42 to 55 cm); set all four legs to one step.
- The 350 lb (159 kg) limit is for sitting.
Using it day to day
- Slide the back tubes and arms into their mounts until each push pin clicks.
- Set the four legs in 1 in (2.5 cm) steps and check every pin before the person sits.
- Check the assembly for looseness often.
- Clean with mild soap and warm water, and wipe the chair dry after each use.
- Do not stand on the seat.
