Archimedes
Using the Archimedes
WARNING: Please note that the hand control
incorporates an important safety feature which will
ensure that the seat cannot be lowered unless there is
sufficient battery power to raise it again. To action this
feature effectively ALWAYS RAISE THE SEAT USING THE
HAND CONTROL and USE IT to lower yourself into the
bath.
• Press the 'Up' button on the hand control to raise
the seat.
• Release the 'Up' button when the seat is level with
the edge of the bath. NOTE: Make sure that the
transfer flap is level with, and supported on, the
edge of the bath (fig.10) before transferring.
• Sit on the flap and transfer across onto the seat.
• Press the 'Down' button to lower yourself. Releasing
the button at any point will stop the seat.
• To raise the seat, press the 'Up' button. Release
the button when the transfer flap is level with, and
supported on, the edge of the bath.
Removing the Archimedes from the bath
• Fully lower the seat.
• Fold the transfer flaps onto the seat.
• Press the lower part of the latch at the back of the
seat (A fig.11) and lift the seat sufficiently to allow
the actuator to disengage itself from the slot (B) and
the actuator locator bracket (C). The actuator can
now be removed from the base section.
• Lift out the actuator.
• Lift the seat section clear of the base section.
• Lift the suction cup release handle at the back of the
base section (D fig.11) and tilt the base forwards.
• Continue tilting the base forwards using the guide
bars. This will automatically release the suction on
the front suction cups and the base section can then
be lifted from the bath. NOTE: DO NOT use the
suction cup release handle (D fig.11) to fully tilt or lift
the base section. NEVER attempt to release suction
on the rear suction cups by pulling on the guide bars.
