3.2 Product description
The Ropox Shower/changing bed is a height-adjustable solution suitable for user weights up to 220 kg. It
serves as a stable platform for showering and changing people with impairments, and the three sizes make it
useful for adults and children.
3.3 Intended purpose
The height adjustable shower/changing bed makes showering and changing safe and comfortable for
disabled and people with mobility disabilities. The soft and flexible slats provide the user with optimum
comfort, and the electrical height adjustment and the ergonomic design ensure the best possible working
environment for the carer. The user-friendliness, the design and the welfare technology result in security and
satisfaction for both user and helper. The bed can quickly be adjusted to the desired level, for example, you
can lower the bench to just 30 cm above floor level making the transfer of a user onto the bed smooth and
easy.
3.4 Intended operator
Reading and understanding this manual will be sufficient training for an intended operator. Children under the
age of 16 or patient are not considered intended operator.
3.5 Essential performance
The device does not have any function related to basic safety or essential performance. In case of loss or
degradation of performance, the user can be lifted off the device
3.6 Complaints and adverse events
Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device should be reported to the manufacturer and the
competent authority of the Member State in which the user and/or patient is located.

4. Instructions for use
4.1 Installation of product
Make sure that you allow free space on all sides of the unit as shown below.
4.1.1 Placement of the Main 100-240 V socket, the hot and cold water and the drain
The drain must be placed in the free area beside the lifting unit and underneath the bed in the lowest position.
The placement on the picture above is a suggestion of optimal position.
Hot and cold water shall be placed so as not to not come in conflict with the area of height adjustment.
The electrical outlet can be placed either behind or outside of the lifting unit. In either case, make sure that the
Main 100-240 V socket is placed according to the national requirements for such installations.

TF 200.01.0049_ENG
11
4.1.1.1 Placement of Electrical outlet outside of lifting unit
The main power
cable has a total
length of approx.
320cm of which
250cm is outside
the lifting unit. The
cable can be pulled
out in either left or
right side.
4.1.1.2 Placement of outlet behind lifting unit
The following drawing illustrates the space that can
be allocated for an electrical outlet without interfering
with the movement of the unit. The blue-hatched area
are is the safe area for placing an electrical outlet and
cover. Placing the outlet and/or cover outside of this
area may result in product damage and malfunction.
If possible, hold off on the final position of the mains
cable and cover in the wall, until the lifting unit has
been fully placed and fixed to the wall (steps for
mounting the unit are detailed later in this manual).
Then raise the sled to the top-level position and use
the cutout to ensure a safe fit of the electrical cable
and cover with proper clearance all around.
Note: Depth of electrical outlet (incl. wire) must not
exceed 65mm from the wall

4.1.2 Receiving the Shower & Changing Bed
The Ropox
Shower &
Changing Bed
will come in two
packages. One
for the “Lifting
unit” and one for
the “Shower tray
unit”.
4.1.3 Remove the cover
The plastic cover can slide up and released from the lifting unit, or it can be clicked out by pulling it forward.

4.1.4 Mounting to the wall
Place the lifting unit in the desired location. Be especially aware of the
position of the drain, electrical and water inlet on the wall, as described
previously.
Attach the frame securely to the wall by using adequate bolts and
rawlplugs suitable for the type of wall construction / material on site.
The shower bed is being supplied with a set (7 pcs) of screws and
rawlplugs, which is ONLY intended for mounting the unit in a concrete
wall. If the unit is to be mounted on another kind of wall, suitable plugs
and screws for that wall type must be used. The Ropox Shower bed is
tested according to a load of up to 220 kg applied to the shower bed.
The attachment holes can be marked up on the wall, four possibilities
in the top, and three in the bottom of the frame. Place the frame
against the wall and make sure it is horizontal. The frame is standing
on two adjustable feet. Adjust these if the floor is uneven or has a tilt,
until the top of the lifting unit is level. Mark out the hole locations.
Remove the frame and drill the holes.
Maximum pull force for each of the four
screws in top of the unit: 45 kg
Note!
Make sure that no dust or other obstacles are interfering with the rollers, chain, sprocket, or
gas springs. This can cause malfunction and damage the system.
Caution!
It is important that the frame is screwed securely to the wall. If the frame comes loose, a
person may fall off the shower bed.

TF 200.01.0049_ENG

To gain access to all the bottom holes, the
control box will need to be temporarily
removed. This is done by unlocking it from
the holder at the top, pressing it back and
sliding the control box down.
Remember to securely re-attach the
controlbox, before putting the cover back
on the lifting unit.
4.1.5 Mounting the wires
If the electrical outlet is placed behind the unit, It is
crucial to control the cable from the outlet, down to the
control box. This is to ensure that the sled will not
squeese, cut or otherwise damage the cable during
product use.
Fix the mains cable to the brackets (highlighted by the
arrows) using the included zip-ties, making sure the
cable is tight with no loose parts that could get trapped
by the moving sled.
Once everything is placed, perform a test-run of the
full length of travel down and up again to ensure that
nothing is in danger of entrapment or collides with the
moving sled.

4.1.6 Re-mount the plastic cover
The cover can either be clicked in place from the front or slide down
from above. Make sure that the cover reaches the floor and is in
contact with the wall at the top. This step can also wait until the end
of the installation process if ease of access to the electrical
components is required.
When all the wires have been attached and
screws fastened, the cover must be fixed in
place. Use the attached M5x8 screws and
screw button cover. This step can wait until the
end to make it easier to access the control box
and wires if needed.
Once the screw is tightened, click on the white
button plastic cover.

4.1.7 Mount the shelves on the Lifting unit
Use 4 pcs. M6x6 screws
to mount the shelves on
both sides of the lifting
unit.
4.1.8 Mount the Shower tray on the Lifting unit
Slide the shower tray in between
the lifting unit and the support arms
on the lifting unit. It is an
advantage to be two persons when
doing this.

TF 200.01.0049_ENG
17
Fasten the Shower tray to the
Lifting unit with 8 pcs. M8x12
through the bushings in the
support arms.
4.1.9 Mount the cover plate on Shower tray
Place the cover plate between
the two support arms underneath
the Shower tray.
Fasten it with 4 pcs M5x8
screws.

4.1.10 Mount the Drain and Flexible hose on the Shower tray
Screw the plastic nut on the
scuttle and tighteen it firmly.
Connect the flexible hose to the
drain tube and connect it to the
drain in the wall or on the floor.

TF 200.01.0049_ENG

4.1.11 Mount the middle cover plate
If the large plastic cover has
not yet been installed, do this
before starting this step.
Set the middle plate against the
plastic cover at an angle, as
shown.
Rotate the cover into place
Push it down until you hear the
locks snap into place
Double check that it sits flush
and fiirmly on the lifting unit

4.2 Operating the product
Before start using this product, be sure that “main power” has been connected as described in electrical
connections.
By using the up ▲down ▼buttons on the handheld control switch, the height adjustment of the shower
bed can be performed. The control switch has a spiral cord, which can be pulled out to a length of 200cm.
4.2.1 The slats
The slats have two sides with different
hardness and can be turned around in the
Shower tray.
The soft side is used, when the person on the
Shower bed needs to be washed.
The hard side is used, when the person on the
Shower bed needs to be changed.
Warning!
The product should always be able to travel the full range of actuation without colliding
with objects. Failing to do so will compromise the product stability.
Special care should be taken in ensuring that no children or adults are sited under the
product as severe injury from entrapment may occur.
Maximum load onto the Shower & Changing Bed 220 kg
