11 Changing the position of the release knob (authorized dealer only)

The most practical position for the 'release knob' is usually the side of the bathtub where you stand when 

operating the HUBFIX bath lift, near the bath drain (on a standard bathtub). If this is not the case then it can be 

repositioned by an Otto Bock authorized technician. To move the release knob from one side to the other, use 

the following procedure:

   

 

Figure 17 

 

 

 

 

 

Figure 18

Pull the push-button out of the release knob (Figure 17).

Unscrew the release knob from the releasing mechanism of the hydraulic spring and push the release unit down 

under the cover panel (Figure 18).

   

 

Figure  19 

 

 

 

 

 

Figure  20

Unscrew the two tightly connected plastic nuts from the release unit.

For this process, leave 15 millimeters of open thread between the nuts and the unit (Figure 19).

Thread the line/hydraulic cable and the release unit in through the hole in the frame and out to the other side 

through the opposite hole (Figure 20). 

To reassemble follow the above procedure in reverse order.

 

- After you have finished all adjustments be sure to tighten any screws you have undone.
- The release unit tube must not be bent or pinched.
- Never undo the screw on the oil tube (connecting to the release unit).
- Never try to open the hydraulic spring unit.
