WARNING
Only personnel who have been thoroughly trained in the operation of the Cascade
Comfort System should operate this equipment. Operation of this equipment by
untrained personnel could result in injury to the operator or patient. Your Penner Spa
distributor is available at your request to provide complete in-service training on the

Prior to the bath, perform the following preparation steps.
1.
Make sure you have your bathing aids ready such as a washcloth, towels and liquids such as

Area with your Patient Transfer System or Wheel Chair.
2.
At the bathing area, position your patient transfer equipment near the access of the Cascade
Comfort for a normal wheel chair-to-chair transfer. Ensure the water door is open wide to
allow easy access.
3.
Lock the brakes of your patient transfer equipment before transferring the Resident or
Patient.
WARNING: Failure
to lock the caster brakes of your equipment before the
resident is transferred onto the Cascade Comfort could result in injury to the operator
or patient.
