 fig. 5)

to inflate the Bathing Cushion and when 

the relief valve blows (it will hiss), release 

the 

‘Up’ button. Press firmly down on the 

Bathing Cushion to secure the suction 

cups to the floor of the bath. Check all four 

suction cups are securely stuck to the bath. 

Wet them to help them stick if necessary.

• 

Whilst still clothed and with the help of 

an assistant if required, carry out some 

dry ‘practice runs’  according to these 

instructions until you are totally confident 

using the product. 

Note:

 During a ‘dry trial’ the Bathing Cushion 

may make a noise when being lowered and 

raised due to the fabric rubbing against the dry 

sides of the bath, this is normal and the noise 

will disappear when the bath is full of water.
