Ensure that you have read and fully understand
these instructions before attempting to operate the
Archimedes.
The Archimedes should only be used as a bathing
aid, NEVER use it out of a bathtub.
Ensure that the suction cups adhere firmly to the
bath before use.
The Archimedes is designed to go as low as possible
in the bathtub. In bathtubs with exceptionally narrow
or curved sides/bases, it may be unsuitable. Always
check that the seat section is free to lower to its
full extent and rise again freely. Be certain that it is
positioned correctly before use.
Do not allow the Archimedes to lie on its back in the
bath water.
Ensure that the transfer flaps will be clear of any
obstructions, such as bath handles and soap dishes,
as the seat section is raised.
NOTE:
To avoid flaps
becoming caught under bathtub handles, fit the
supplied Flap Guards.
Only recharge the battery with the Mangar International
battery charger supplied with the Archimedes.
NEVER recharge the battery in the bathroom,
outdoors or in a damp environment.
Do not use in the presence of flammable anaesthetic
mixtures with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Do not operate the actuator when it is disconnected
from the base.
Do not use the Archimedes as a support to steady
yourself when cleaning the bathtub or when reaching
into the bathtub to retrieve items.
If the Archimedes causes electrical interference with
another piece of electrical equipment, move the
equipment further apart until the interference stops.
