The HUBFIX bath lift can be stopped at any position when raising or lowering it.

Raising or lowering is only possible when the release button is pressed in (Figure 27).

The speed of raising and lowering depends on the pressure applied to the release button and can be finely 

controlled.

Lowering:

Put the fingers of one hand around the release knob.

Hold onto the frame of the firmly attached bathing seat with the other hand (Figure 28).

Press the release button with your thumb and lower the bathing seat into the bathtub cushioned by the hydraulic 

spring.
