10. Testing of Installation
With the base plate firmly installed, place the mast back onto the base plate studs and fully
tighten down the four nuts.
IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended the installation of the base plate is load tested before
the Mermaid is put into use.
Following the recommendation in BS 10535, the installed lift should be load tested to 125% of
the safe working load. In the case of the Mermaid and Ranger the test load is 157 kgs. This load
is applied to the centre of the seat.
DO NOT ignore this test. If in doubt contact your supplier.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Please take into consideration the turning radius required for clearance of the patients knees
from radiators, walls or other obstructions. A minimum radius of 1 metre from the centre of the
mast is recommended.
Setting Up:
The Mermaid and Ranger models have a setting up procedure which must be followed to
ensure the lift operates safely and causes no damage to the bath or fitments.
Seat Locking System:
The seat locking system engages at four, 90 degree positions and is operated by a locking lever
situated on the main mast. With the lever fully UP, the seat is unlocked and free to rotate 360
degrees. When the locking lever is fully DOWN, the seat will lock in one of the four positions.
If the lever is pushed down at an intermediate position it will automatically engage when it
encounters the next locking position.
DO NOT use this automatic engagement to stop the swing of a loaded seat. If the latch is used
repeatedly to stop a moving loaded seat, the latch will be damaged and replacement required.
Setting the Four Positions Relative to the Bath:
Check the position of the seat in relation to the bath. If the seat is not central in the bath cavity
it’s position can be adjusted as follows.
Slacken the seat support clamp by loosening the Allen headed screw on the side of the clamp.
This will allow the clamp, seat and seat arm to rotate. Engage the seat locking and swing the
seat until it is in line with the centre line of the bath. Lightly tighten the Allen headed screw.
Release the seat lock and rotate the seat through 90 degrees. This will place the seat in the
normal position at the side of the bath. If this is the only adjustment required FULLY tighten the
Allen headed screw. If height adjustment is required, leave the Allen screw lightly tightened and
go on to next section.
