Operation Pediatric Kit
Your new pediatric conversion kit has
been designed in such a way to allow it
to grow with your child.
The P1 kit will accommodate younger
children from the approx age of 5+ but
allows a certain amount of growth
before needing to move to the P2 kit.
The P2 kit will accept a child from
around the age of 10 years up to
teenage before needed to convert back
to adult size seat.
Adjustments in the kit are as follows.
You can also make adjustments
through the backrest cushion adjust-
ment system.
This system has been designed to offer
unrivalled flexibility and superior
comfort to suit different users by
adapting the backrest angle and
backrest height that best suits the user.

undo the seat lock knobs (part #500-
263) and position the backrest to the
desired recline position by re-fixing the
lock knob into that desired location
hole. Screw the thread tight.
To adjust your seat backrest height
simply undo the seat lock knobs (part
#500-263) and position to the desired
height location hole in the metal spine
to give the required height. Screw the
thread tight.
These adjustments are best carried out
by adjusting the top or bottom individu-
ally while the other is still located, this
then acts as a pivot for the seat
backrest and makes alignment of holes
easier. Ensure all seat lock knobs are
tightened before use.

Cleaning and Maintenance
It is recommended that your shower chair and accessories are serviced annually by your Showerbuddy
Dealer or an authorised, competent service agent. In addition:
1. Regularly inspect all parts of the kit for defects. Any defective part should be attended to promptly by an
authorised service agent.
2. Clean the seat using a damp cloth and a mild cleanser. Always read the manufacturers instructions prior
to applying the cleanser. When using Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) on the seat, a solution of 0.1% Sodium
Hypochlorite should have no adverse effects on the cleaning of chairs. However, when using a solution of
1.0%, care should be taken to rinse the chairs thoroughly with clean water after application. Over a period
of time bleaching may occur, but the integrity of the product will remain unaffected.
3. Dry off the shower chair after use.
4. Do not oil or grease any parts.
5. Keep any moving parts free from lime scale, soap residue and hair by cleaning after use in the shower.
Caring for stainless steel.
Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, but it is not stain or rust proof. Regular maintenance will
keep stainless steel clean and free of contaminants. In most applications stainless steel will not rust or stain
even after many years of service, but when used in certain environments such as concentrated chlorine or
other corrosive elements stainless steel requires proper care and maintenance. Do not leave stainless in
contact with iron, steel or other metals.
1. Clean stainless steel frequently with soap and water. Any cleaner safe for glass is usually safe for
stainless steel; apply with a cotton cloth.
2. Use a coating such as a good wax to help safeguard the stainless steel.
3. Remove discolouration or rust spots as soon as possible with a brass, silver or chrome cleaner. Irrevers-
ible pitting will develop under rust that remains on stainless steel for any period of time. Apply a mild
cleaner such as Ajax or an equivalent with a wet cotton cloth. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. Do not use
abrasives such as sandpaper or steel wool on stainless steel.
4. Do not clean with mineral acids or bleaches.
5. Do not store near any chlorine product.
