Battery Charging
Disconnect the hand control from the actuator.
Connect the hand control to the battery charger
(fig.11).
Plug the battery charger into a power supply outside
of the bathroom and switch on. The green light on the
charger (
A
) will light up to indicate that the charger is
properly connected and charging.
NOTE:
The green light may dim and eventually go
out as the battery reaches full charge.
When the battery needs recharging, the hand control
should be left on charge over night. The hand control
can be left on charge continuously without damaging
the battery or charger.
We recommend that the hand
control is left continuously on charge when the
Archimedes is not in use, as a matter of routine.
Cleaning
Regularly clean your Archimedes with the same non-
abrasive cleaners that you normally use on your bathtub.
It is best to separate the seat and base sections prior
to cleaning. The Archimedes can be disinfected using
a proprietary sterilizing solution or any antibacterial
cleaner.
Regular cleaning will help to prolong the life and efficiency
of your Archimedes bathlift.
Storage
The Archimedes should be stored with the seat section
fully lowered and the hand control disconnected.
During long term storage, it is recommended that at
approximately three month intervals, the battery is put on
charge overnight.
When stored for long periods, ensure that the Archimedes
is thoroughly dry and stored in a dry environment.
The transit tie (
A
fig.12) should be attached to the seat
section to allow the Archimedes to be easily picked up
and moved.
