5 Preparing the bath lift for use
Before using the bath lift, check that all parts are complete and undamaged.
WARNING Do not use the bath lift if you see any damage.
5.1 Charging the handheld remote battery
WARNING Do not use the handheld remote if it is damaged or cracked.
NOTICE Only charge the battery in the handheld remote using the supplied
charger. Only charge the battery in a dry room (not in the bathroom). Do not
charge the battery while the bath lift is being used. Do not insert any
conductive objects (e.g. knitting needles) into the jack socket of the
handheld remote cable.
1. Insert the jack plug (figure 6,2) of the charger (figure 6,1) into the
jack socket (figure 6,3) of the handheld remote (figure 6,4).
2. Connect the charger (figure 6,1) to the mains power supply. The LED
(figure 6,5) will flicker briefly and then light up red. The LED will go out
once the battery is fully charged.
Once the battery is charged:
1. Disconnect the charger (figure 6,1) from the mains power supply.
2. Disconnect the handheld remote (figure 6,4) from the charger.
Fully charge the battery in the handheld remote before every use. If the
handheld remote is not connected to the charger, do not connect the charger to
the mains power supply.
Only use the handheld remote to operate the bath lift.
If the bath lift has not been used for some time, charge the battery and then
run the bath lift up and down as far as they will go one time without a load.
Repeat this process every 3 months. This has a favourable effect on battery
capacity and, therefore, on the service life of the battery.
5.2 Attaching the suction feet
WARNING If the suction feet are not correctly stuck in place, the bath lift
may slip out of position. There is a risk of injury. Make sure that the
suction feet are free from dirt and grease. Make sure that the suction feet
are not bent.
1. Remove the backrest. To do so, take hold of the backrest (figure 7,1) with
both hands close to the locking hooks (figure 7,2). Release the locking hooks
from the holder (figure 7,3) by tugging gently.
CAUTION The drive unit foot mount contains the mechanism for releasing the
seat plate lock. If the seat plate lock is accidentally released, the scissor
lift can move freely. Limbs can be trapped and bruised. Do not reach into the
drive unit foot mount (figure 7,5).
2. Turn over the seat unit (figure 8,3).
NOTICE If the suction feet are not screwed completely into the threaded
sleeves and the bath lift is loaded, the base plate may be damaged. Screw the
suction feet into the threaded sleeves as far as they will go.
3. Screw all four suction feet (figure 8,1) into the threaded sleeves (figure
8,2) in the base plate. The tabs on the suction feet must point outwards (see
figure 8).
5.3 Installing the seat unit in the bath
WARNING If the suction feet are not correctly stuck in place, the bath lift
may slip out of position. There is a risk of injury. Make sure that the floor
of the bathtub is smooth, level, dry and clean. Do not install the bath lift
in bathtubs with a structured surface (raised bumps). Remove non-slip mats (if
present).
