Baths fitted with Neatfold stretcher
Version 8 12/2018
The Neatfold stretcher is designed as a personal support platform fitted to the top of the
bath. It can be quickly and conveniently folded and stowed vertically if the bath is against
a wall, or
potentially
alongside the bath, maximizing the space available in the room.
Carry out the following checks before using the Neatfold stretcher:
•
Check the stretcher is secure and correctly positioned over the tub.
•
Visually check the stretcher cover for damage and security before use.
To use the stretcher when stowed down the side of the bath:
•
Stand in a suitable position beside the bath so that you can operate the Neatfold
stretcher.
•
Lift the assembly upwards so that it resembles Picture A.
•
Hold onto the center of the stretcher frame at the point where the material has been
removed (the handhold).
•
Pull the stretcher at the handhold and the Neatfold can be folded horizontally down in
place. A small jolt will be felt as the stretcher becomes horizontal, this is normal and part
of the stretcher function.
•
Ensure that the stretcher is now resting on the rim of the bath. The Neatfold is now ready for
use (Picture C).
To stow the Neatfold:
•
Hold the stretcher frame at the handhold.
•
Push upwards and outwards gently so that the Neatfold starts to fold down the middle (Picture
B).
•
Once the Neatfold replicates Picture A, it is then ready to be stowed away down the side of
the bath (Picture D).
