Controlling Bath Lift
The bath lift can be moved in the following directions:

• The bath lift is controlled via the hand control, either by the user or an assistant.

With a fully charged battery, the ORCA and ORCA F can perform 5 bathing operations with a load of 140 kg. The ORCA XL can perform 4 bathing operations with a load of 170 kg.

• A Emergency stop button
• B Up button
• C Hand control
• D Down button
• E Indicator lamp

Risk of Damage

• The hand control may only be used when the backrest is properly installed and in the upright position.

If the battery in the hand control C is not sufficiently charged, the indicator lamp E lights up red when the Down button D is pressed. In this case, the lowering function of the bath lift is disabled. You can however still raise the lift.

Recharge the battery immediately after raising the bath lift.

Raising Bath Lift
If the backrest is lowered, it will move into the upright position first (not on model ORCA F)

1. Press the Up button B on the hand control and keep it pressed.
   The backrest moves into the upright position or the seat moves upwards.

2. Release the Up button on the hand control.
   The bath lift stops in the current position.

Lowering Bath Lift
If the seat is already lowered, the backrest lowers towards the rear (not on model ORCA F).

1. Press the Down button D on the hand control and keep it pressed.
   The seat moves downwards or the backrest tilts to the rear.

2. Release the Down button on the hand control.
   The bath lift stops in the current position.

Emergency Stop Button

• Risk of Damage Only press the emergency stop button A if the device does not stop immediately when the Up or Down button is released (e.g. if a button jams). The bath lift stops moving immediately and the indicator lamp on the hand control lights up.
• If the lifter no longer responds when pressing the Up or Down buttons after releasing the emergency stop button, the error has not been corrected. The device is not ready for use and must be repaired, for example, in case of an electronic damage.

Contact your provider, if necessary.

Bathing

WARNING! Risk of Slipping
The bath lift can slip if the suction cups do not have a proper hold.

• Before using the bath lift ensure that it is securely positioned and cannot tip over.
• Ensure that the bath lift is set up in a bathtub with the correct dimensions, refer to 4.2 Setting up Bath Lift, page 11.

WARNING! Risk of Injury

• If your condition means that you cannot take a bath on your own, only use the device with supervision.
• If operating the device without supervision, make sure to have an alarm system or telephone within reach in case of unforeseen events (e.g. malfunctions).

Risk of Damage

• Bath oils or salts can impair the performance of the lifting scissors.
• If using such bath additives, do not exceed the recommended dose.

Run the unloaded lift once to the top and then back to the bottom (function test).

1. Press and hold the Up button until the seat is level with the edge of the bathtub.

2. Make sure that the side flaps are level with the seat and rest flat on the edge of the bathtub (initial position).

3. Fill the bathtub with water.

4. Sit on the side flap nearest to you as you would on a chair.

5. Slide backwards until you are sitting in the middle of the seat.

6. Turn yourself into the bathing position, by lifting one leg and then the other over the edge of the bathtub.

7. Once you are sitting correctly, press and hold the Down button to lower the seat into the bathtub.

8. Once the seat has reached the lowest position, it is possible to recline the backrest by continuing to hold the Down button. This produces a more comfortable bathing position and allows you to immerse yourself deeper in the bath water (not on model ORCA F).

9. Keep the Down button pressed until the backrest has reached the desired position.
   To get out of the bathtub, follow these steps in reverse order.

10. To raise the backrest or the bath lift, press and hold the Up button until the seat is at the same level with the bathtub edge.
