    Diagrams for operation and explanation of use are on the fold-out diagram sheet attached to the rear of this booklet 1. Unpacking the bath lift Open the packaging and ensure the bath lift is not damaged and that all parts are included. If it has been damaged in transit or parts are missing, contact your supplier immediately. Inside the box you will find: • A bath lift, complete with two side flaps and hand control attached (see fig 1) • A battery (see fig 2) • A battery charger with charging cradle attached (see fig 2) If your bath lift is supplied with optional soft covers, fit them at this stage (see cover fitting instructions).

  • Page 10: Preparing The Tub For Installation

    • Always charge on a hard surface. • D uring charging, the temperature of the charger box may exceed 40 C/104 F but will gradually decrease once the constant green light on the box appears. Users with sensitive/damaged skin should take care and allow approximately 3 hours from start of charging before handling the box. • Ensure that no metal objects touch the contacts on the battery, as this will damage the battery. • Use only the Lumex® Splash charger supplied to charge the battery and for no other purpose. 3. Preparing the tub for installation i) Remove any non-slip mats from the tub. ii) E nsure the bottom of the tub is clean and smooth, with no oil or tub cleaner residues that will prevent the suction feet from sticking. iii) T he suction feet may not be suitable in tubs that have been re-enamelled or that have rippled or textured surfaces. iv) I t is essential that the side flaps (see fig 1) do not catch under any obstructions such as integral tub handles, handrails, soap dishes and faucets when rising.

  • Page 11: Installing The Bath Lift

    (see fig 4). If this still does not improve the flaps’ position on the side flap protectors, move the bath lift slightly forward in the tub. Alternatively, a side flap protector extension kit is available (see section 15, “Accessories”). v) F ill the tub with water to the required level ensuring the actuator casing (see fig 5) is not submerged in water. Check that the water temperature is not too hot before using the bath lift. NOTE: Water level will rise when your body enters the tub and displaces the water. The depth of the water is not to exceed the depth as indicated by the label (see right) on the back and sides of the Lumex® Splash. vi) T he battery can now be connected to the hand control on your bath lift (see section 5, “Connecting the hand control”).

    • I f 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, “Charging the battery”). • I f RED light, do NOT use the bath lift. Charge IMMEDIATELY (see section 2, “Charging the battery”). • If in any doubt, recharge the battery before use (see section 2, “Charging the battery”). NOTE: T he battery is for use solely with Lumex® Splash bath lifts and cannot be used to operate any other product. 6. Using the bath lift NOTE: Ensure all four suction feet are attached to the tub surface before each use. i) T o raise the bath lift, press the UP button on the hand control (see fig 7). If the side flaps are caught on any obstruction, immediately lower the bath lift by pressing the DOWN button on the hand control. Pull each side flap free from the obstruction, then resume the lifting operation.
  • Page 13 v) B efore 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) T o lower yourself to the bottom of the tub, press the DOWN button on the hand control (see fig 7). 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 tub, the bath lift will automatically stop. viii) W hile bathing, you may use the suction cups on the battery to attach the hand control and battery to the edge of the tub or to a tiled wall. If the hand control and battery fall into the water, there is NO danger as both are waterproof.

    7. When the bath lift is not in use i) I f you wish to clean the bath lift while it is in the tub (see section 9, “Cleaning”), we recommend doing so when it is at its highest position in the tub. This allows access for cleaning both the tub and the underside of the bath lift. ii) If the bath lift is stored in the tub, ALWAYS ensure the seat is lowered to the bottom of the tub.

It is also advisable to clean the tub surface under the suction feet from time to time. * Cleaning agents should be used in accordance with their manufacturer’s guidelines. NOTE: If the actuator is detached from the bath lift for cleaning, ensure the battery is always disconnected f rom the hand control. 10.

    15. Accessories The bath lift can be supplied with a range of optional accessories: Accessory Part No. Soft cover set (back and seat) 5033A-BB3103 Provides even greater comfort. Accessory Part No. Side flap protector 5033A-AB283 Side flap protectors are available should your bath lift not sit far back enough in the tub to avoid integral handles. Supplied individually, the protector hooks onto a tub handle to prevent side flap from catching when raising the bath lift. Internal hook section is uniquely coated with slip-resistant rubber to limit movement along handle. Accessory Part No. Side flap protector extension kit 5033A-AB284 Comprises 1 side flap protector and 2 clips. By attaching one or more side flap protectors together, a wider side flap protector can be formed over an integral tub handle. This limits the possibility of movement along the handle or incorrect positioning. Use several kits to attach as many side flap protectors as required to fit the handle length.
  • Page 23 Accessory Part No. Side flap protector extension kit 5033A-AB287 (non- hooking) Comprises 1 non-hooking side flap protector and 2 clips. Where a standard side flap protector cannot be moved further along an integral tub handle to enable the side flap to rest substantially over it, this kit enables an additional side flap protector to be attached beyond the end of the tub handle. This provides a substantial surface area for the side flap to glide smoothly over the tub handle. Use several kits to attach as many side flap protectors as required beyond the tub handle. Accessory Part No. Extended suction feet set 5033A-BB3100 Raises the bath lift by 25mm/1inch to enable the seat and side flap to reach level with the height of deep tubs.
