Operating the AKKULIFT
®
in the bath
1. Before starting up your AKKULIFT
®
, make sure
that the battery is inserted in the battery
compartment and the manual control is correctly
connected (plug-type connection
– see figure 7).
Press the ON-button at the manual control. The
green lamp is illuminated.
2. Press the
orange key (“UP”-button). The backrest
is moved into an upright position first; then the lift
moves up to its end position and switches off
automatically. When the button is released, the lift
is stopped, thus making it possible to move to
intermediate stop positions.
3. Fold out the side flaps until they rest on the sides
of the bathtub.
4.
Help the disabled person to sit down on
AKKULIFT
®
.
5. To lower AKKULIFT
®
, press the blue key
(“DOWN”-button). The lift moves down until it
reaches its end position and switches off automatically. When the button is released,
the lift is stopped, making it possible to move to intermediate stop positions.
Attention: Release the blue button immediately if the backrest is pushed against the
wall of the bathtub!
In case of an emergency, press the red button on the manual control. Then all
movements come to a halt. To reset you have to press the “ON”-button again!
6. After bathing, press the orange key
(“UP”-button) of the manual control in order to move
the lift back to a convenient height (the max. position is the upper stop position). Make
sure that the slide flaps do not get caught at any bathtub fittings or handles.
7. Help the disabled person to leave the bathtub.
The bathlift switches off automatically after 30 minutes, but if you want to switch it
off manually then use the red button (LED is then off).
Note: When moving up or down, the disabled person should lean back against the
backrest and put his or her hands on the lap.
If the lift is to remain inside the bathtub, then remove the battery from the
battery compartment. This will prevent unintended discharging of the storage
battery.
