READ SECTION 6 ENTITLED BATH USE before placing the bath
in service.
This bath is not designed to be portable. Therefore, moving the bath once it has
been installed should be kept to a minimum.
Never move a bath that is full of fluid. This action could be
extremely dangerous and could result in personal injury to the

If the bath is going to be placed in an area where it will need to be moved
frequently, a special cart can be designed to accommodate the bath making the
bath much more portable. Hart sells carts designed for these baths. However,
even with a cart the bath should not be moved full of fluid. The fluid can splash
causing injury or if the bath and cart tip, the fluid could cause damage to the
surrounding area and personal injury to personnel.
If the bath must be moved, be sure to drain the fluid to prevent any injury. The

move the bath, two people are required.
