Important Technical Specifications:
- Weight Capacity: The shower chair has a robust weight capacity of 400 lbs (181 kg). This specification is crucial for ensuring user safety and preventing product failure.

Usage Features:
- Adjustable Leg Height: The shower chair features adjustable legs, allowing users to customize the seat height to their preference. This is achieved by depressing a push button and sliding each leg to the desired height, then aligning the push button with the proper hole until it snaps into place. All four legs must be set to the same height for stability. Users should ensure legs are locked into place by pushing down and pulling up on each leg after adjustment.
- Stability and Safety: The design emphasizes stability, requiring all four legs to touch the floor simultaneously at all times. Users are warned against placing the bath bench on uneven surfaces or using it if it is wobbly, unstable, or not level.
- Backrest (Optional/Implied): While the specific model shown in the image does not feature a backrest, the "Cautions" section mentions "When using the backrest, ensure the bath bench remains balanced." This suggests that some configurations or related models may include a backrest, and users should be mindful of stability when using such a feature.
- User Supervision/Assistance: For users with limited physical strength and/or mobility, supervision and/or assistance are recommended while using the bath bench to ensure safety.
- Pre-Use Checks: Before each use, users must ensure that all pushbuttons are fully protruded and properly engaged, there are no loose, broken, or missing components, and all parts are secure.
- Rubber Tips: The legs are equipped with rubber tips, which should be checked regularly for rips, cracks, or wear. Worn or damaged tips must be replaced immediately to maintain stability and prevent slipping.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: The shower chair can be cleaned with regular household cleaning products. A non-abrasive cleaner diluted with warm water is recommended. After cleaning, the chair should be wiped dry.
- Avoid Abrasives: Users are specifically instructed NOT to use abrasive powders, cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the product's finish or materials.
- Component Inspection: Regular inspection of the rubber tips for wear and tear is crucial for maintaining safety. Any damaged tips must be replaced immediately. Users should also check for any loose, broken, or missing components and ensure all parts are secure before use.
