SAFETY
INSTALLATION
The bath lift must be installed by a competent professional, familiar with building and construction.
Ensure there are no pipes or electrical cables that could be damaged when fixing the unit to the wall and floor.
When fixing to a “studded” or non-solid wall, reinforcement may be required to ensure the bath lift will take the bather’s
weight and operate safely.
The maximum lifting weight is 127kg (280lbs) and
MUST
not be exceeded.
The bath lift will not operate 100% efficiently against a bath with a curved exterior.
CHILD SAFETY
Do not allow children to play with the bath lift. It is not a toy.
If there is the possibility of children having access to the bath lift, remove the battery to a safe and secure location.
Care must be taken to avoid soaking the unit with an excess of water, which could damage the interior electronics.
There is a purpose made shower cover, which can be provided by your supplier.
USE OF THE BATH LIFT
The battery charger
MUST NOT
be used in the bathroom.
The belt must be secured into the floor anchor correctly and safely, ensuring that the retaining discs prevent the belt from
coming out. Familiarise yourself with the location of the floor anchor to avoid injury.
If you are not comfortable using the bath lift independently, ensure you have a capable carer present.
Use the grab rail to steady yourself when getting in or out of the bath.
The thermometer is only intended to provide an indication of the water temperature. Always test the bath water by hand
to ensure it is a safe, comfortable temperature for the bather.
The bath lift should only be used for the purpose it is intended for.
Keep fingers away from where the belt enters the unit whilst the belt is retracting.
When using the bath lift for the first few times, the bather should accustom themselves to the lifting and lowering motion.
Pay extra attention to the sideways re-adjustment, as the belt is fed from one side only.
Do not clean the belt with bleach or any other substances which may irritate the skin.
These warnings and safety information MUST be read before installing or using the bath lift.
Please ensure that you retain this instruction manual with the bath lift for future reference.
Should the bath lift be sold or transferred to another owner or if you move to a new house and leave
the bath lift, always ensure this instruction manual is available for the new owner.
