5.3 Assembling the seat unit in the bath tub
WARNING The bath tub lifter can slide away if
the suction feet do not stick properly. There is a
risk of injury. Make sure that the bottom of the bath
tub is smooth, flat, dry and clean. Do not assemble
the bath tub lifter in bath tubs that have a napped
texture. Remove any non-slips mats.
Only assemble the bath tub lifter in bath tubs that
meet the following specifications:

and 11
Designation Dimensions
in mm
A Tub length, bottom > 800
B Tub width, bottom
(suction foot spacing)
280-610
C Tub width at a height
of 80 mm (base plate)
> 420
D Tub height (internal) < 455
Tub height (internal)

adapters (accessories)
475
E Tub width, top
(external)
< 710
F Tub width, top
(internal)
< 630
If handles are fitted in the bath tub: Use the side-
flap diverter (accessories; see Section 11.1).
If the tub height (internal) is more than 455 mm:
Use the height adapter (accessories; see Sec-
tion 11.2).
CAUTION The drive foot mount contains the
mechanism for releasing the seat section lock. The
lifting scissors are freely movable if the seat sec-
tion lock is accidentally released. This can crush
limbs. Do not put your hands into the drive base
mount (Figure
7,5).
1. Place the seat unit onto the bottom of the bath
tub. When doing this, place the rear suction
feet as close as possible to the slope of the
bath tub, but not in the slope (see Figure 10).
2. Press the seat unit gently against the bottom of
the bath tub.
3. Check that the suction feet have stuck to the
bottom of the bath tub. To do this, gently pull
on the seat unit.
5.4 Fitting the backrest
NOTICE If the backrest's drive base is not fully
retracted during assembly, the bath tub lifter can
be damaged. Make sure that the drive base is fully
retracted: The drive base (Figure
12,2) must be
horizontal (see Figure 12).
1. Place the backrest (Figure 12,1) onto the seat
unit (Figure 12,5). The locking hooks
(Figure 12,3) must engage in the holders
(Figure 12,4).
2. Gently press on the locking hooks
(Figure 13,2). The locking hooks must
engage audibly.
3. Grip the top end of the backrest (Figure 13,1)
and swing it up into the end position.
4. Check that the backrest is properly fitted:
- Are both locking hooks engaged? (The blue
dots on the front of the locking hooks must
be visible.)
- Is the drive base (Figure 5,1) in the drive
base holder (Figure 5,2)?
- Is there a gap of at least 25 mm between
the hand control connection and the wall?
5. Unfold the sideflaps (Figure 12,6).
6. Connect the jack socket (Figure 14,1) on the
hand control cable onto the jack plug
(Figure 14,2) on the drive until it engages no-
ticeably.
5.5 Check before use
1. Lift the seat with the Up button (Figure 15,3)
(see Section 6.2).
Check the following when doing this:
- Can the seat move up unhindered?
- Are both sideflaps touching the edge of the
bath tub when the seat is raised?
2. Lower the seat as far as it will go with the
Down button (Figure 15,5) (see Section 6.3).
Check the following when doing this:
- Can the seat move down unhindered?
- Is there a gap of at least 25 mm between
the hand control connection and the wall?
If the bath tub lifter is properly assembled in the
bath tub, do not change its position again.
