Cleaning your bath
The Easibath is made from polypropylene plastic and requires only a very mild non-abrasive cleaning
agent to keep it clean. Fitted backrests and other supports can be simply removed for cleaning. Other
supports if supplied may also simply be lifted clear after sliding it and lifting off the location pegs.
Under no circumstances must acid or bleach based cleaners be used to clean this bath. To do so
invalidates the guarantee
Kingkraft recommend that your Easibath should be cleaned with Chemgene® / Trigene® which is
available from Kingkraft in ready to use 500ml trigger sprays or concentrated in 1ltr. and 5ltr. sizes.
Always follow the instructions of the Chemgene containers.
General cleaning / disinfection:
- Use Chemgene® trigger spray pre diluted to 1:10 or any other dilution level specified on the bottle.
- As Chemgene® is considered safe and non-corrosive it can be used on every area of the Easibath
and accessories. Chemgene® presents no hazard to the user in normal use.
- Leave for five minutes before rinsing off.
Mains Powered Easibath
General
The raising / lowering system uses electrical actuator mechanisms / lifting columns located under the
bath powered via a controller which is connected directly to the mains power supply. A handset is
provided which operates at low voltage for safety. Each pair of columns are fitted to a base plate that
must be fixed to the floor.
If there is any doubt about the safety of the unit or if any cabling appears damaged, do not use it and
contact Kingkraft immediately.
The handset must not be submerged or subjected to pressurised water cleaning.
If the bath is a static / fixed height version there will be no active lifting system, but a mains cable /
current may still be present if the bath is fitted with a whirlpool option. If the lifting frame is battery
powered, then an older design of frame will be fitted which will use a single linear actuator and not four
lifting columns. Please carefully read the instructions which apply to your model.
When the lifting frame / columns are moving, the maximum load noise, 1 metre away, does not
exceed 65 dBA. Maximum working load is 130Kg, including water, patient, mattress and other
accessories.
Care of the unit
The system must not be overloaded by trying to raise more than one person at a time. Should
overload occur, damage may be caused to the unit and it may fail to operate.
The unit is designed to operate in a bathing area but it should not be submerged and pressurised
water must not be used in cleaning the components.
If any physical damage to the actuator mechanisms under the bath or cabling occurs then do not use
the unit until it has been examined and rectified by a competent person and declared as safe.
Fault finding
The unit must be installed by a competent person who must connect it to a circuit breaker mechanism
provided by others to ensure safety. If a fault has occurred in the electrical supply the circuit breaker is
designed to cut out. The fault must be traced and rectified by a competent person before the reset
switch on the circuit breaker is operated. The lifting mechanism and control system itself should not be
tampered with as it is designed only for repair by a competent person. In all cases, advice should be
sought from Kingkraft.
