Patient Handling
Preparing Tub for Use

Close the drain plug by turning the overflow
drainage knob (6).
2.
Set adjustable foot rest (8) into position
appropriate for the patient’s legs.
3.
Fill tub using on-off valve (4).
4.
Set and monitor fill water temperature with
thermoscopic mixer (2) and thermometer (3).
Please note: Footrest is not used when patients are
transferred into the tub on EZ Way’s stretcher lift.
WARNING: Always physically check water
temperature before and during bathing/showering
to ensure that the thermoscopic mixer (2) is
functioning.
Ambulatory Patient Transfer
For patient comfort and safety, we recommend that
ambulatory patients are transferred directly into the
prefilled tub on EZ Way’s stretcher/chair lift.
Refer to the Mobile Bath Lift System operating
manual for correct procedures. See page 10 of
this manual for “Patient Transfer into Tub” for
recommended procedures for bathing patients on
the chair lift and stretcher lift.
Ambulatory patients can step into the tub, in its
lowest position, with assistance. When patient is
comfortable, raise tub with the tub lift control (1)
on the panel to a comfortable working height.
After use, lower the tub to allow the patient to exit.
