Please note: if locating the bath into the installation site is difficult, partial disassembly of
the bath is recommended.
Bath teardown
1. Belly pan removal
The belly pan is located on the underside of the base frame. When pressure is applied to the
underside of the bath, the belly pan will rise, activating the safety edge feature. Once activated,
the bath can only be raised, preventing any further lowering.
Removing the belly pan is optional, However is recommended as it will decrease the size and
weight of the base frame, and make removing the platform rods easier as access will be
improved.
1. Whilst supporting the belly pan from the underside, remove the M17 bolt holding the belly pan
at each corner (4 in total).
2. Now that the belly pan is released, carefully lower
slightly and set aside.
Note: When refitting the belly pan, it is critical
that a gap of approximately 1mm is maintained
between the switch contact surface and the top
of the belly pan. This will ensure no miss
triggering of the safety edge system.

KIT FORM ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Note: It is recommended that a minimum of two people assemble the bath.
With all contents carefully inspected and moved onto site, it is now time to begin
assembling the bath kit.
Firstly, position the wooden blocks (found beneath the frame) in the room near where the
bath will be installed. The blocks should be spaced apart, and slightly inward of where the
foot end assemblies will be fitted.
Note: Bath should not be in the final installation position! Leave enough room to access all
sides of the bath for correct assembly. The bath will be moved into position in later stages.
1. Base frame positioning
Identify which end of the base frame is which, and lay onto the wooden blocks accordingly.
The frame should be positioned so that only the metal brackets on the base of the frame are in
contact with the wooden block, as shown below.
2. Plug in foot end actuators
Position the foot end assemblies near the ends of the base/scissor frame (one at each end)
Locate the 2 foot end actuator leads (marked with yellow cable ties), and insert 1 of the plugs
into the first foot end actuator. Press down the retaining clip firmly, securing the lead into place.
Next, repeat this process at the opposite end of the bath.
3. Connecting the handset
Locate the handset extension cord/ port (this will later be fitted to the bath), and line up the plug
with the port, ensuring the plug is correctly orientated.
Plug in until no further movement if felt.
Fix the foot end into position with 4 x M10 Washers
and 4 x M10 x 16 cap head bolts provided.
2. Plug in foot end actuators
Locate the 2 foot end actuator leads (marked with yellow cable ties), and insert 1 of the plugs
into the first foot end actuator. Press down the retaining clip firmly, securing the lead into place.
Next, repeat this process at the opposite end of the bath.
3. Connecting the handset
Locate the handset extension cord/ port (this will later be fitted to the bath) and line up the plug
with the port, ensuring the plug is correctly orientated. Plug in until no further movement if felt.
4. Removing wooden blocks
With the handset correctly fitted, the bath is now able to be move up and down. Before doing
this, it is critical to check that no cables can be caught/ damaged during the movement of the
bath.
Now, press the ‘bath up button’ (found on the handset) until the bath reaches its maximum
height. The bath will stop when the maximum height has been reached.
Note: It is critical the foot end assemblies have been securely fitted at this stage.
Remove the wooden blocks and set aside. These are no longer needed.
Note: With the blocks no longer beneath the bath frame, the bath is able to reach its minimum
height. Ensure nothing is left beneath the bath frame whilst the bath is being installed.
