Operating Instructions

Please ensure both yourself and any helpers read these instructions carefully before using your bath

lift.

This bath lift is designed and manufactured to assist individuals in getting in and out of the bath. It should not be used for any other

purpose. Do not use it in combination with other lifting or moving devices. If you are unable to get out of the bath unaided, do not

bathe without someone on call to help in an emergency.

Operating Instructions

1. Unpacking the bath lift

Open the packaging and ensure the bath lift is not damaged. If it has been damaged

in transit, contact your supplier immediately.

Inside the box you will nd:

• A bath lift, complete with two side aps and hand control attached. (see g 1)

• Side ap protectors x 2 (see g 1)

• A battery (see g 2)

• Battery charger and charger cradle attached (see g 2)

We recommend that the bath lift is always separated and carried as two lighter,

individual sections. Refer to section 5“Installing the bath lift”for details on how to

move the bath lift.

2. Charging the battery

Before rst operation of your bath lift or after long periods of non-use

(typically 7-10 days), fully charge the battery as follows. A at battery will take

up to 2 hours to charge.

i ) Slide the battery into the track on the charger cradle until it clicks into place (see

g 2).

ii ) Plug the charger into the mains socket outside the bathroom and switch on the

electricity supply.

iii) The light indicator on the charger box will initially ash in a quick sequence of

red, green, red, green, before a constant red light appears to indicate charging is in

progress (see g 2).

iv ) When the battery has been fully charged, the red light turns to a constant green light,

which indicates the battery is ready for use, and can remain continuously on charge

until you are ready to take your bath.

v ) When you are ready to use your fully charged battery (see paragraph iv), ensure it is

removed from the charger cradle and that the mains socket is switched o, or that the

charger is removed from the mains socket. (This prevents the battery discharging and

will reset the charger ready for its next use.)

The battery can be charged after each bath without the risk of overcharging.

Operating Instructions

3. If you have a telecare-enabled bath lift

The telecare-enabled bath lift has been designed to integrate with the Tunstall

Lifeline 400, 4000+ and Connect+ units. The telecare-enabled bath lift can be added

to an existing monitoring solution or as part of a new installation to suit individual

needs

If you have a telecare-enabled bath lift, you will nd a telecare-enabled battery inside

your bath lift box rather than the standard battery (see g 3).

Programming the telecare-enabled bath lift to Tunstall 400, 4000+ and

Connect+ home units

i ) Press and hold down the green cancel key located on the Lifeline unit (see g

4) until it bleeps (approx. 5 seconds), then release the green cancel key and the

LifeLine unit will bleep twice. The red alarm button will ash slowly.

ii ) Press the green cancel key again until the LifeLine unit bleeps, then release the

cancel key and the LifeLine unit will bleep twice. The red alarm button will now

ash rapidly.

iii) Press the red button on the end of your bath lift’s telecare-enabled battery (see

g 3) and a red light will illuminate at the end of the battery. The Lifeline unit will

bleep to conrm acceptance.

iv) Press and release the green cancel key on the Lifeline unit and the unit will bleep.

v) Make a test call using the programmed telecare-enabled battery (see g 4) by

pressing its red button and ensure it raises an alarm call.

Making an alarm call

i ) To raise an alarm while using the bath lift, press the red button on the end of the

battery (see g 3). This will allow you to talk to the control centre operator‘hands

free’ using the powerful speaker and microphone of the Lifeline 400, 4000+ and

Connect+.

ii ) The control centre operator will summon the appropriate assistance from your

carer, warden or emergency services.

NOTE:

An alarm call cannot be raised unless aTunstall Lifeline 400, 4000+ or Connect+

home unit is installed in your home and the telecare-enabled battery is programmed

correctly to this home unit (see section“Programming the telecare-enabled bath lift to

Tunstall Lifeline 400, 4000+ and Connect+ home units”above).

4. Preparing the bath for installation

i ) Remove any non-slip mats from the bath.

ii ) Ensure the bottom of the bath is clean and smooth, with no oil or bath cleaner

residues that will prevent the suction feet from sticking.

iii ) The suction feet may not be suitable in baths that have been re-enamelled or

that have rippled or textured surfaces. For some baths with rippled or textured

surfaces, the front suction feet (see g 7) can be relocated to the middle of the

bath lift base frame, to clear the bath’s textured area. A centre sucker xture kit is

available, if required (see section 16).

iv ) It is essential that the side aps do not catch under any obstructions such as bath

handles, handrails or soap dishes, when rising. If your bath has handles, t the

side ap protectors to them (see g 1 and g 5) to prevent the side aps from

catching.

5. Installing the bath lift

i ) If your bath lift is supplied with optional soft or cushioned covers, t them at this

stage (see cover tting instructions).

ii ) Place the backrest assembly carefully on the oor when not attached to the seat

unit. The actuator forms a useful handgrip for transporting (see g 6).

iii) Pick up the seat unit (see g 7). The rear of the base frame forms a useful

handhold for this purpose.

iv ) Place the seat unit in the bottom of the bath and as far back as possible at the

opposite end to the taps. Ensure there is enough clearance at the rear of the

bath for the backrest to fully recline without resting on the bath or wall.

v ) Press rmly down on the seat unit, ensuring all four suction feet are stuck to the bath

surface. All suction feet swivel and can stick to the contours of the bath as required.

vi ) Before tting the backrest assembly to the seat unit, ensure the actuator end is

fully retracted (see g 8).

vii ) Place the backrest assembly face down onto the seat unit, whilst aligning the

hinges at the bottom of the backrest with the slots located at the rear of the seat

unit (see g 9).

viii) Ensure the backrest hinges locate into BOTH slots, with the bottom edge of the

backrest positioned in front of the two blocks (see g 9).

ix ) Hold the top of the backrest and lift upwards until the backrest rests in the fully

reclined position. Check the hinges are still located in both seat unit slots.

x ) Unfold the two side aps so they rest against the sides of the bath. (Side aps

ease transfer on and o the bath lift and also prevent nger entrapment.)

xi ) Fill the bath with water to the required level and check the temperature before

using the bath lift.

xii) The battery can now be connected to the hand control on your bath lift (see

section 6).

6. Connecting the hand control

Slide the fully charged battery into the tracks on the hand control (see g 10) until it

clicks into place (see g 11).

Always check the battery status indicator on the hand control before using the bath

lift (see g 12). Press the UP button and observe the following guidelines:

If GREEN light, proceed with your bath, provided the battery has been charged

within the last 7-10 days.

If FLASHING GREEN LIGHT, proceed with your bath, provided the battery has

been charged within the last 7-10 days. Then charge immediately afterwards

(see section 2).

If RED light, do NOT use the bath lift. Charge IMMEDIATELY (see section 2).

If in any doubt, recharge the battery before use (see section 2).

•

Operating Instructions

NOTE:

• If the RED light appears on the hand control whilst lowering, the bath lift will not go down any further. If this happens, press

the UP button and the bath lift will raise you to the top of the bath. Charge the battery immediately.

• In the event of an emergency, sliding the battery out of the hand control can instantly terminate all bath lift movement.

• When the bath lift reaches its maximum limit of travel (up or down), there will be a short delay before it will operate again.

• The bath lift is not designed for continuous operation. Allow at least 15 minutes between baths.

• The bath lift should not be used under a constant ow of water (e.g. running tap) and ensure the actuator is not totally

submerged in water.

7. Using the bath lift

i ) To raise the bath lift, press the UP button on the hand control (see g 12). If the side aps are caught, immediately lower the

bath lift by pressing the DOWN button on the hand control. Pull each side ap free from the obstruction, then resume the lifting

operation.

ii ) As the bath lift reaches the top of the bath, the side aps will fold out to form a transfer platform.

iii) When the bath lift’s seat and side ap are level with and supported by the top of the bath, sit on the side ap and move onto the

seat. Ensure no part of the body can become trapped when transferring onto the seat.

iv) Turn as you lift each leg over the side of the bath then make yourself comfortable on the seat. You may nd it easier to transfer if

you wet the seat and the side aps rst. A slide and swivel aid is available, should you nd transferring dicult (see section 16).

v) Before lowering the bath lift, extend your feet out in front of you and keep hands above the seat to avoid any risk of entrapment.

vi) To lower yourself to the bottom of the bath, press the DOWN button on the hand control (see g 12). When the button is

released, the bath lift will stop and remain at that position until the button is pressed again.

vii) When you have reached the bottom of the bath, continue to press the DOWN button to begin the backrest reclining. Release

the DOWN button when you nd your desired recline position. Maintain pressure on the DOWN button to stop the backrest at

its fully reclined position. To reduce the backrest angle, press the UP button.

viii) Whilst bathing, use the suckers on the battery to attach the hand control and battery to the edge of the bath or to a tiled wall.

If the hand control and battery fall into the water, there is NO danger as both are waterproof. Ensure you wipe the

battery dry before charging.

ix) When nished bathing, press the UP button to raise the bath lift. The backrest will move into the upright position rst, then

the bath lift will begin to rise. When the button is released, the bath lift will stop and remain at that position until the button is

pressed again.

x) Once the side aps are level with the top of the bath, remove your nger from the UP button and move sideways onto the side

ap.

xi) Turn whilst lifting each leg out of the bath.

xii) Drain the bath.

Operating Instructions

8. When the bath lift is not in use

i ) The bath lift may be stored in its lowest position at the bottom of the bath with

the backrest fully reclined. If the bath lift is stored in the bath, leave the battery

connected to the hand control unless it is being charged.

ii ) The bath lift may be removed from the bath for storage (see section 9 below).

9. Removing the bath lift from the bath

i ) Ensure the bath lift is in its lowest position with the backrest fully reclined.

ii ) Remove the battery from the hand control.

iii) Fold both side aps onto the seat.

iv) Fold the backrest forward until it lies at on the seat.

v ) Wind the hand control cable around the cable winders on the rear of the backrest,

then attach to the retainer clip (see g 13). This will prevent potential damage to

the hand control caused by the trailing cable.

vi) Hold the actuator and lift the backrest assembly upwards and clear of the seat

unit and place the backrest carefully on the oor out of the way.

vii) Pull the sucker release handle attached to the rear suction feet at the back of the

seat unit and the rear feet will be released (see g 14).

viii) Now hold the rear of the base frame, NOT the sucker release handle, and tilt the

seat unit forward until the front suction feet automatically release.

ix ) Firmly grip the base frame by the rear, and lift out of the bath.

x ) The bath lift may be stored with the backrest folded at onto the seat unit (see g

15). The backrest will not be locked to the seat in this position and care should be

taken whilst handling.

NOTE:

•

Do not attach the battery to the hand control when the backrest is folded at.

•

Only operate the bath lift when the backrest is assembled and locked to the

seat unit.

10. Cleaning

Clean the bath lift as frequently as you clean your bath, using non-abrasive cleaners.* If used communally, we recommend

disinfecting the bath lift after each use. SOLVENT-based cleaners, such as white spirit, should NOT be used.

i ) To disinfect the bath lift, use a soft brush or cloth and wipe down with a sterilising solution or anti-bacterial cleaner. Rinse the

product with clean water, then wipe and dry using a clean cloth.

ii ) Bath/medicinal oils and other solutions are easily removed with washing-up liquid. Do not allow oils or other additives to build

up. They should be removed frequently otherwise, over the course of time, they may lead to degradation of the suction feet.

iii) The bath lift can be cleaned in an automated washing machine (to a maximum temperature of 73° C for 3 minutes), however the

battery MUST be removed and washed by hand. The battery must not be subjected to high temperature cleaning.

iv) Do not clean or rinse the actuator under a constant ow of water, e.g. running tap, or submerge it in water.

iv) If your bath lift is tted with comfort covers, ensure you remove them on a regular basis to clean the bath lift surfaces.

It is also advisable to clean the bath surface under the suction feet from time to time.

* Cleaning agents should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.

11. Maintenance and servicing

There are no user serviceable parts on the bath lift. Repairs and servicing must be entrusted to a Mountway authorised dealer.
