Battery Charging
• Disconnect the hand control from the actuator.
• Connect the hand control to the battery charger
(fig.12). NOTE: The supplied battery charger may
differ in appearance from the image, however, the
connecting process is the same
• Plug the battery charger into a mains power supply
outside of the bathroom and switch on. The light
on the charger (A fig.12) will light up to indicate
that the charger is connected. NOTE: The supplied
battery charger may not have a light, however, the
battery will still be charged.
When the battery needs recharging, the hand control
should be left on charge over night. The hand control
can be left on charge continuously without damaging
the battery or charger. We recommend that the hand
control is left continuously on charge when the
Archimedes is not in use, as a matter of routine.
Routine Cleaning
clean the bath and wipe dry or leave to air dry. It is best to separate the base and seat sections before cleaning.
Disinfection
- All components should be pre-cleaned and then disinfected by wiping with a 1:10 solution of
household liquid bleach and water - 1 part bleach to 10 parts cold water (10,000ppm (1%) Sodium Hypochlorite
solution). Leave the solution on the surface for approximately 10 minutes before thoroughly rinsing off with clean
cold water. Alternatively, a hard surface, alcohol impregnated wipe can be used.
NOTE: It is especially important to thoroughly clean the Archimedes after each bath if 'Dettol' or similar products
have been added to the bath water.
Storage
The Archimedes should be stored with the seat section
fully lowered and the hand control disconnected.
During long term storage, it is recommended that at
approximately three month intervals, the battery is put
on charge overnight.
When stored
for long
Archimedes is thoroughly dry and stored in a dry
environment.
The transit tie (A fig.13) should be attached to the seat
section to allow the Archimedes to be easily picked up
and moved.
