1. Safety
Dear customer, Thank you for choosing a rehabilitation aid from GATE Rehab. We hope our product meets or
exceeds your expectations. These Instructions for Use contain the information users of the product need to
know for its safe operation. In addition to the instructions for use, there is a technical manual that describes the
chair’s structure and which includes information of a more technical nature and a spare parts list.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE BEFORE USING THE PRODUCT.
This hygiene stool is designed for indoor use on level surfaces and in wet spaces. Max user weight is 150 kg.
The product can be raised, lowered or tilted with the aid of encapsulated, concealed electronics. The product
is in ingress protection class x5, and can withstand water under a certain pressure. The product may thus NOT
be immersed or used underwater. This also applies to the frame/castors – may not be immersed in water.
When manoeuvring forward, we recommend use of the directionally lockable castor (right front castor) for
improved stability. However, the directional lock should not be used when manoeuvring in confined spaces.
The hygiene chair has a fixed battery that is charged via a connection in the remote control. The time required
for a discharged battery to reach an 80% charge is around 12 hours. The remote control has a charging
indicator that will show whether or not the battery needs to be charged. Make a habit of always charging the
battery if at the end of the day it has dropped to level 1 (one green bar on the battery indicator). If the hygiene
chair will not be used for a few days, we recommend switching off the battery by means of the Off button
located on the battery.
The hygiene chair also has a service indicator that lights up after around 11 months’ operation as a reminder
regarding the scheduled service that must be carried out at least once per year. Information about how to reset
the service indicator can be found in the technical manual.
The hygiene chair has a number of functions to enhance safety. When tilting forward or back, the chair will
always stop when the horizontal position is reached. The chair cannot be tilted forward if the seat height is
greater than 65cm. In order to raise the chair higher than 65cm, the seat must be horizontal or tilted to the
rear. It is not possible to use the chair while charging the battery.
Users will experience a soft start of around 5 seconds when the chair is raised or lowered. This is normal and
takes place in order to synchronize the two height adjustment actuators.
The hygiene stool is raised and lowered through telescopic pillars with built-in motors. The pillars have an open
design which allows water and dirt to run through internally. When necessary, clean the pillars and the bottom
surfaces with cleaning agent (can be purchased from GATE). The cleaning agents dissolve dirt and grease and
break down any organic substances. Rinse with water. Note that the pillar base plates are accessible for
mechanical cleaning.
Bear in mind the crush risk that is always present when hands and feet get in the way of chair movement,
especially when tilting forward or when the chair is lowered to its lowest level. Depending on the setting, the
foot rest may touch the floor or the chair frame.
The staff at GATE Rehab hope you enjoy extensive use of your new hygiene chair. Before you begin using
your chair, the battery must be activated. Do this by pressing the battery ON button (see section in these
instructions for use).
