VR130: Coniston Rotating Bather
Fixing and Maintenance Instructions
5.4
When you are satisfied that you have located the correct punched hole (this is
normally the second punched hole for 750 mm wide baths and the third
punched hole for 800 mm wide baths).
Under no circumstances must any further holes be drilled or punched into
the Coniston to further increase the width as this could seriously
compromise the user’s safety and will invalidate any warranty.
5.5
Once you are satisfied that you have located the correct pre-punched hole
carefully reinsert the ‘E’ Clip (see fig. 1a) ensuring that it passes completely
through the frame (see fig. 2).
While the Coniston has been designed for use with 700 mm,
750 mm and 800 mm wide baths, the width of an installed bath may vary in
that the longside of the bath rim next to the wall may be fully buried.
If you have an insufficient amount of the bath rim exposed, it is strongly
advised that you install our wall fixed support plate, this is designed to
prevent the Coniston tilting whilst in use.

details.
5.6
The side arms of the Coniston rotating bather can also be adjusted. To adjust
the arms, turn the seat part of the bather upside down.
Adjusting one arm at a time press down on the two gold domed clips holding
the arms in place, slide the arm to the desired width ensuring the domed clips
pass back through the frame (see fig. 3).
Repeat the process for the other arm ensuring that both arms are adjusted to
the same width.

5.7
Once you have adjusted the width adjusters (and side arms if necessary) to
suit the bath carefully place the base section onto the bath rim (long edge).
Undo the locking nuts holding the side supports in place using a suitable
spanner (see fig.4). Adjust both supports equally until both grippers are
equally adjusted and gripping the side of the bath. When the side supports
are properly adjusted tighten the locking nuts to keep the base of the unit in
place.
5.8
Once you are satisfied that the base unit is correctly installed you are now
ready to attach the seat.
Carefully lift the seat section onto the top of the base ensuring that the
female locator hole on the base of the seat (see fig. 5) is lined up and located
onto the spline of the base section (see fig. 6) and lower into place.

6. Testing the Unit
Before using the seat it is important that you test it has been installed correctly.
Test the unit by rotating the unit a full 360
o
and checking that the Coniston locks
into the predetermined lock points which are set at 90
o
intervals (see fig. 7).

To rotate the seat lift the locking levers on either side of the seat (see fig. 8) and
rotate the seat to the desired lock point.
