VR130: Coniston Rotating Bather
Fixing and Maintenance Instructions
1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing to purchase the Coniston rotating bather. The Coniston is
manufactured using only the finest materials available. If used in accordance with the
user instructions the Coniston should give you many years of continuous service.
2. Construction
Frame
Non-rust Aluminium
Side bath grippers
Stainless steel and plastic
Side bath adjusters
Stainless steel, alloy and plastic/rubber
Seat
Polypropylene plastic in two sections:
Top section consisting of seat arms and lock handles
Bottom section consisting of bath frame with adjusters
3. Purpose
The Coniston is designed to traverse a rectangular bath of the following widths;
700 mm, 750 mm and 800 mm (nominal) only. The seat rotates enabling the user to
transfer onto the seat, then rotate back and lock into position facing down the bath. It is
designed to be used as a bathing aid only.
4. Duty of Care
It is strongly advised that the product is fully assessed by a professional for suitability
and compatibility with the intended bath and client before use.
5. Installation Instructions
5.1
Firstly remove the Coniston rotating bather from its packaging. Visually
check for any damage and fully test all moving parts prior to installation.
5.2
Check the width of the bath you intend to install the Coniston rotating
bather onto. The Coniston is designed to fit onto three nominal widths
of bath, these are 700 mm, 750 mm and 800 mm. These widths are the
most common found in the EU.
Do not attempt to install the Coniston on any other type of
bath, doing so may seriously compromise the safety of the
user.
5.3
Once you have checked the width of the bath, if necessary, adjust all
four of the width adjusters. If the Coniston is to be installed on a 700
mm wide bath, leave the width adjuster in the closed position.
If the bath is wider than 700 mm, it may be necessary to alter the width
adjuster (see fig. 1). This is achieved by carefully removing the ‘E’ clip
(see fig. 1a) and pulling the blue plastic coloured bath gripper towards
you.
