Operation

6.1

Control

Important!
●
If the battery in the hand control is not suffi-
ciently charged, the battery pilot light goes
on (5, fig. 9). In this case, the lowering func-
tion of the bathilft is disabled. However, you
can still raise the lift. Recharge the battery
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. 9).
6.1.1

Lifting

Important!
If the backrest is folded down, it first moves to
the upright position.
Press the UP button (2, fig. 9) on the hand control (3,
fig. 9).
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.
Press the DOWN button (4, fig. 9) on the hand control
(3, fig. 9).
The seat moves down, or the backrest moves back.
6.1.3

Emergency stop

Important!
Only press the red emergency stop button (1,
fig. 9) 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).

Using the bathlift

CAUTION!
The seat may slip if the suction cups do not
adhere properly.
Before you use the bathlift, make sure that it
is securely positioned and cannot tip over.
Important!
●
Before you take a bath, do a test run* to
make sure that the bathlift functions proper-
ly.
● Before using the bathlift, check the temper-
ature of the bath water.
Section 5.2 describes how to set up the bathlift in the
bathtub.
1. Raise the seat until it is level with the edge of the
bathtub by pressing the UP button (2, fig. 9).
The sideflaps should be level and rest on the edge of
the bathtub.
2. Fill the bath with water and check the tempera-
ture.
3. Sit down on the sideflap nearest to you as you
would sit down on a chair.
4. Slide backwards until you are sitting in the middle
of the seat.
5. Turn yourself so that you can be comfortably low-
ered into the water. Lift one leg after the other over
the edge of the bathtub.
6. Once you are sitting correctly, press the DOWN
button (4, fig. 9) to lower the seat into the water.
Once the seat has reached its lowest position, you can
tilt the backrest back, so that you can lean back deep-
er in the water.
7. Keep pressing the DOWN button until the back-
rest is at the right position.
To get out of the bath, follow the above steps in re-
verse order.
To lift the seat, press the UP button (2, fig. 9).
8. Remove the jack socket on the curled cable of the
hand control from the jack plug on the backrest by
moving up the unlocking sleeve and charge as de-
scribed in section 5.1 or remove the bathlift from
the bathtub as described in section 5.3.
* Run the lift unloaded once to the top and then back
to the bottom.
