For more information on Juvo Mobile Shower Commodes and how to safely use them, read this article for a better understanding of forward stability.

Juvo Mobile Shower Commode forward stability, safety instructions for correct use:

  • The front 125mm diameter castors on all models are total locking castors. 
  • The step-on lever activates both the roll lock and the swivel lock. It is essential that all castors on the shower commode be in the outward position before engaging the locks for optimal forward and lateral stability. 
  • If so equipped, disengage the optional directional castor lock first before rotating the rear castor to the rearward position and applying the castors’ dual-locks. 
  • Users must not lean forward while sitting in the Juvo shower commode as this may cause the chair to tip forward. Users must not wheel down a ramp in a self-propelled model without an attendant who can keep control of the shower commode chair during the descent. 
  • The total locking mechanism of the castors are not brakes. Never use these locks to slow down the shower commode when descending inclines as this could cause the chair to tip in the direction of travel.
