Frequently Asked Questions

How does the drop-arm mechanism work?
The drop-arm allows either armrest to be lowered to the side, opening the transfer path so the user can slide laterally onto the commode seat from a bed or wheelchair without needing to stand and reposition. To use, release the arm latch, lower the arm, complete the transfer, then raise and secure the arm before use.

Does this commode ship assembled?
Yes. This commode ships pre-assembled and is ready to use out of the box. Minor adjustments to seat height may be needed to fit the user.

How do I adjust the seat height?
The seat height adjusts from 17.5 to 22 inches by repositioning the legs at the adjustment holes. Adjust all four legs to the same height setting to ensure a level, stable seat surface before use.

What is the bucket capacity and how is it removed?
The included 12-quart commode bucket loads and unloads from the front by sliding it in from behind the commode frame. Remove the bucket by pulling it forward out of the frame for emptying and cleaning.
