4. Installing the bath lift
i) Pick up the bath lift holding it as close as possible to your body.
ii) Place the suction feet on the at bottom of the bath/tub and as far back as possible at the
opposite end to the taps/faucets. If there are any overhead obstructions at the back of the
bath/tub that cannot be removed and are likely to interfere with the upward movement of
the bath lift, move the bath lift further forward in the bath/tub until clear of the obstacle.
iii) Now press rmly down on the seat, ensuring all four suction feet are attached to the bath/
tub surface.
NOTE:
The suction feet may not stick to very curved or contoured surfaces.
iv) Unfold the two side aps so they rest against the sides of the bath/tub. (Side aps ease
transfer
on and o the bath lift and also prevent nger entrapment.) If side ap protectors are
required and have been tted to integral bath/tub handles, ensure the two side aps are
resting substantially on them. If the side aps are still likely to catch under handles, move
the side ap protectors as far as possible along the handles until the side aps are over them
(see g 4).
If this still does not improve the aps’ position on the side ap protectors, move the bath lift
slightly forward in the bath/tub. Alternatively, a side ap protector extension kit is available
(see section 15, “Accessories”).
v) Fill the bath/tub with water to the required level ensuring the actuator casing (see g 5) is
not submerged in water. Check that the water temperature is not too hot before using the
bath lift.
vi) The battery can now be connected to the hand control on your bath lift (see section 5,
“Connecting the hand control”).
