■ For your safety
 Make certain that this bathing system is operated only by
trained personnel.
 Always check the water temperature before the client enters
the bathtub or when the shower spray is applied to the client.
 Make certain that the equipment is thoroughly cleaned after
every use.
 Make sure that each client is assessed for it’s ambulatory ca-
pability, ensuring the client’s safety when entering and exit-
ing the bathing system (utilize handgrips, correct entry
height, correct client transferring device, etc.).
 When using disinfection, wear rubber gloves and eye protec-
tion. In case of eye or skin contact, follow the procedures on
the disinfectant container and material safety data sheet.
 Always make sure that the device is supplied with power.
 Make sure that there are no materials right next to the tub to
ensure a safe up and down movement. Disregarding this tip can
cause bad injuries or damage the device.
 Don’t deposit any things on the bathtub. Because of movement
and vibrations, things can fall on the floor or in the tub.
 We want to point out that a lifting bathtub is a nursing tub
and the bathing of the inhabitant has to be effected by use of
a suitable lifter.
 Should no lift be used we recommend to furnish the bathtub
with handles.
Note:
The safety rules and instructions in this operating man-
ual must be observed in order to ensure safe and proper
use of the equipment. Adjustments and repairs must be
carried out by authorized and appropriately qualified
persons. All claims under guarantee become void if these
requirements are not met.
