Operation

6.1

Control

Important!
If the battery in the hand control is not suffi-

ciently charged, the pilot light for the battery
(5, fig. 10) illuminates red while the DOWN-
button is pressed. In this case, the lowering
function of the bathilft is disabled. However,
you can still raise the lift. Recharge the bat-
tery immediately after you have raised it.
The hand control may only be used when

the backrest is properly mounted and in up-
right position.
If you let go of the button, the lift stops in-

stantly in its position.
Controlling is done using the hand control (fig. 10).
6.1.1

Lifting

Important!
If the backrest is folded down, it first moves to
the upright position (not on model ORCA F).
Press the UP button (2, fig. 10) on the hand control (3,
fig. 10).
The backrest moves to the upright position, or the seat
moves up.
6.1.2

Lowering

Important!
If the seat is already lowered, the backrest
leans backwards (not on model ORCA F).
Press the DOWN button (4, fig. 10) on the hand control
(3, fig. 10).
The seat moves down, or the backrest moves back.
6.1.3

Emergency stop

Important!
Only press the red emergency stop button (1,
fig. 10) if the device does not stop immediately
after letting go of the UP or DOWN button (e.g.
if a button jams). The bathlift stops moving im-
mediately. The red LED that is built into the
hand control goes on.
If the red LED goes out after letting go of the emergen-
cy stop button, the fault has been rectified (e.g. if the
button is released). The device is ready for use again.
If the red LED stays on after letting go of the emergen-
cy stop button, the fault has not yet been rectified. The
device is not ready for use and must be repaired (e.g.
in the event of damage to the electronics).
