Removing the unit from the bath
Disconnect the hand controller from the lifting mechanism by pulling apart the connectors (see Fig.5).
Recharge the hand controller if necessary (See Charging the Battery).
The Bathmaster Sonaris may be stored in the bath if convenient. However, should you wish to remove it, follow either of these
procedures:
Removing the unit disassembled
1. Check the bathroom floor is dry and free from obstructions to minimise the risk of stumbling, falling or dropping the frame.
2. Allow any water to drain from the bath.
3. Lower the seat to the bottom of bath and recline the backrest.
4. Fold the side flaps onto the seat.
5. Fold the backrest forward onto the seat.
6. Ensure the hinges are aligned and lift backrest away from the seat and remove from the bath.
7. Lift the tabs to release the suction on the front feet and raise the front of the seat unit off the surface of the bath tub. The
rear suction feet should automatically release, enabling the seat unit to be easily removed from the bath.

Take particular care to avoid back injury when removing the Bathmaster Sonaris from the bath. Follow safe moving and
handling procedures. Seek help if you are unsure about installing or removing the bathlift safely yourself.
Transport the unit
A handle hole is provided in the lower section of the seat unit to
enable easier carrying (see Fig.9).
Please ensure you do not trap your fingers during use.
Care and cleaning
•
After bathing, clean the seat with a disinfectant wipe, spray or a mild disinfectant solution then rinse with clean water. This
is particularly important when using the Bathmaster Sonaris for more than one person.
•
The frame should be cleaned weekly with a mild solution of detergent or disinfectant in warm water.
•
Do not use strong solutions of disinfectant.
•
If bleach is used for cleaning always ensure that a diluted solution is used and that it is thoroughly removed by rinsing with
clean water.
•
Ensure that the bath lift is completely dry before storing it.
