Archimedes

Fitting the Archimedes in the bath

• Before placing the Archimedes in a bath, check
that the surface where the suction cups will be
sitting is clean and free from bath oil and cleaning
residue. Remove anti-slip matting from this area.
WARNING: The suction cups may not adhere
properly on textured and non-slip areas of a bath.
• Remove the actuator and seat section from the
base (see "Getting Started"). Moisten each of the
suction cups and place the base section as close
to the back slope of the bath as possible.
• Fold the transfer flaps onto the seat and slide the
seat section onto the base section.
• Slightly raise the seat section enough so that you
can reposition the actuator in the socket at the
back of the base unit (A fig. 5).
• Position the top end of the actuator into the slot in
the latch (B fig.5) at the back of the seat section and
make sure that it 'clicks' into place as you lower the
seat again. NOTE: Ensure that the seat can slide freely
up and down before using the Archimedes (fig. 6).
• Plug the hand control into the actuator lead and
close the retaining clip (A fig. 7).
• Fill the bath with water at a suitable temperature.
