Information on the battery, power supply unit and man
ual control:
• Use the manual control only to operate the bath lift.
• The bath lift may be operated only with an original
Drive Medical manual control.
• Never throw the manual control into a fire and do
not store the manual control near fire or intense heat
sources.
• Do not open the manual control. Opening the manual
control invalidates any warranty.
• Use only the power supply unit provided to charge the
battery in the manual control.
• If the housing of the manual control is damaged, it
should no longer be used.
• For your safety, the power supply unit should be used
only outside of the bathroom in dry areas. The power
supply unit should only be used for charging the man-
ual control provided.
• The battery must be charged prior to the initial use and
after every time the bath lift is used. If there are longer
periods during which the bath lift is not used, the bat-
tery should be recharged every 3 months to extend its
service life.
• Do not insert any conductive objects (such as a knit-
ting needle, metal pin, etc.) in the jack socket of the
manual control.
• Always take the plug out of the outlet before cleaning
the power supply unit.
• Clean the power supply unit only with a dry cloth.
• The bath lift, power supply unit and battery feature
sturdy construction, however they should not be
dropped. If there is any externally visible and/or audi-
ble damage, the bath lift should not be used. In this
case, contact your dealer. We recommend entering the
address at the end of these instructions for use!
• For more information, technical details and addresses,
please read the entire instructions for use.
• In the event of a malfunction, first consult the sec-
tion entitled “Troubleshooting” in the annex to these
instructions for use. Make sure to follow the informa-
tion and instructions there. For your own safety, you
should not use the bath lift until the malfunction has
been corrected.
Important safety rules
• Always sit in the middle of the lift, with your back
against the backrest, slightly extend your legs and
place your free hand either on the edge of the tub or in
your lap. Use your other hand to control the lift down-
wards or upwards.
• During raising or lowering, do not grasp between the
edge of the tub and the lift or underneath the seat sur-
face since doing so can lead to injuries.
• Persons with serious physical handicaps or mental
confusion should never be left in the bathtub unsuper-
vised. Bathe independently only if your state of health
permits this. Otherwise bathe only under supervision.
• Before using the bath lift, perform a test run (move it
up and down with hold and check the EMERGENCY
STOP function).
• In the event of a breakdown, do not continue using the
bath lift; instead have it repaired by the dealer.
• Do not bring any objects (such as brushes, etc.) along
into the bathtub!
