4.3 Bathing
WARNING!
Risk of slipping!
The bath lift can slip if the suction cups do not
have a proper hold.
– Before using the bath lift ensure that it is
securely positioned and cannot tip over.
– Ensure that the bath lift is set up in the bathtub
like described in section 3.3 Setting up the bath
lift, page 10.
WARNING!
– If your condition means that you cannot take
a bath on your own, only use the device with
supervision.
– If operating the device without supervision,
make sure to have an alarm system or
telephone within reach in case of unforeseen
events (e.g. malfunctions).
CAUTION!
Bath oils or salts can impair the performance of
the lifting scissors.
– If using such bath additives, do not exceed the
recommended dose.
IMPORTANT!
– Run the unloaded lift once to the top and then
back to the bottom (function test).
– Before using, check the temperature of the
bath water.
