Final Checks
Operate the bath controls to make sure the unit functions correctly the bath raises & lowers ok
check all cables are not snagging with any items & the water pipes are not snagging. Check all
plumbing connections for leaks. Check the water outlet temperature from the bath taps is
43°C.
Inner access hatch fitting
Offer up the tap end panel & carefully mark the waste, water pipe, & electrical cable supply
positions then carefully trim to fit to give a neat appearance. Split the fastener, place into the
hole, & push the head in to firmly secure the panels. Repeat the above for the opposite end
note the panel will note require cutting.
Outer access Panel Fixing
Operate the unit up / down to finally check that the inner panels do not scuff the outer skirt &
all services are correctly installed. Fit the outer access panels with drive fasteners supplied.
Backrest & footrest
Place into position see fig (4) These should be firmly located into the lugs in the platform
using the metal rods. The rods may be adjusted slightly altering the spacing to ensure a firm fit
to the platform.
Testing
(a)
Immediately after installation, it is vital that the bath be connected to a mains supply for at least
24 hours before initial use, to ensure the batteries are fully charged. Failure to observe this
requirement could result in the user not being able to exit the bath in the event of a mains failure.
(b)
The installation unit is now complete. Ensure the bath is free from debris. Clean the bath with
clean soapy water, removing any grit or build-up of dirt. Fill bath with water and check for leaks.
(c)
Should the finished surface of the bath become marked or scratched, it is normally
possible to rectify quite simply. Firstly, apply 1000/1200 grade wet and dry paper,
initially using it dry.
After the mark has been reduced, use with soapy water. To restore the finish to the bath, apply
a mildly abrasive cutting paste, and finally finish off with a silicone-based polish such as car wax
or furniture polish.
