2. Introduction:
The Rise IIIS-130 Shower-, Commode- & Care Chair accommodates the needs of both the user and the helper.
The electrical elevation (Seat height 53,5 cm – 95 cm) makes it possible to avoid lifting the user with a traditional
sling. By elevating the seat to match the height of the bed or wheelchair, most users can transfer themselves
sideways to/from the Rise IIIS-130. For weak patients use of a transfer board may be advantageous.
The electrical elevating function enables the helper to obtain an ideal working position during toileting,
showering and personal hygiene routines. This allows the user to enjoy his/her daily shower, etc. without feeling
that they are a burden to the helper, thus contributing to less stressful care routines.
The elevating function combined with the seat, which can be tilted forward and backward, also enables the Rise
IIIS-130 to help the user to a standing position. This is possible because the chair not only lifts the seat up to
41,5 cm (16 in.) but, at the end of the elevating cycle, the user may be tilted forwards about 20 cm (8 in.). In this
way Rise IIIS-130, in the same way as typical catapult seats, may help the user to move their body’s centre of
gravity to a point directly above their feet. Getting to this vertical position is often one of the most difficult
problems for persons with limited walking or standing ability.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions for improvements, please do not hesitate to call your local
dealer or contact Borringia directly by phone at TEL [phone] or on the Internet: www.borringia.com.
Rise IIIS-130 Shower-, Commode & Care Chair is simple & logical to use. However, you must read the
following instructions carefully prior to using the chair:
3. Lifting & Tilting:
Both the lifting and the seat tilting functions are electrical. Power is supplied by a 24 volt battery (NiMh) with a
capacity of 1,4 Ah, sufficient for 25-30 full lifting cycles when fully charged.
Pressing the corresponding button on the hand control activates lifting/lowering and seat tilting. As soon as the
button is released, movement stops.

4. Battery & Charging:
1. Rise IIIS-130 is equipped with a 24 volt battery (NiMh) with a capacity of 1,5 Ah. When the battery is
fully charged, it has sufficient capacity for 25-30 full lifting cycles.
2. The battery and electronics box are equipped with a number of safety and signalling functions, which
help prevent that you run out of power during a job
a. When the battery has been discharged to a point, where there is sufficient power left for 5
lifting cycles, pressing the buttons on the hand control will result in a ”beep”. This is an
indication that charging is needed.
b. If the battery is still used without being charged, the electronics will at a certain point only allow
downwards movement. This is an indication that charging is needed.
c. If usage of the battery is continued, the electronics will at a given point prohibit all movement.
d. All batteries loose performance when they are cold, i.e. at 0° Celsius (32° F) or colder. If you
have left your Rise IIIS-130 or the battery in your car in cold weather, you may have to re-
charge the batteries, before using the Rise IIIS-130.
e. Normal operational temperature should be 0°- 40° Celsius (32° - 104° F)
To charge the battery follow the steps below.
1.
Pull the battery out of the electronics box
2. Push the battery into the charging station and turn it clockwise until the magnets lock the battery in
place.
As long as the green lamp blinks, charging is ongoing. When the green lamp is lit permanently,
charging has been completed. The yellow lamp is lit, when the charging station is connected to the
mains supply.
5. Emergency-Stop:
The removable battery also functions as an ”Emergency-Stop” in the – unlikely – situation that movement
occurs without a button being pressed on the hand control. By pulling the battery out of the electronics box, all
movement is stopped. The “Emergency-Stop” is deactivated by pushing the battery into the electronics box and
turning it clockwise until the magnets lock the battery in place.

Contact your dealer IMMEDIATELY and DO NOT USE the Rise IIIS-130 chair until
service inspection and repair has been CARRIED OUT!

6. Interference:
7. Safety:
·Never leave person with insufficient body control alone, when lifted
·Make sure that the hands, legs and feet of the user are not squeezed between parts of the
Rise IIIS-130 and other aid products (e.g. wheelchair, bed, or the like)
·Never use the Rise IIIS-130 in hot surroundings, e.g. in Saunas or in steam baths
8. Daily Inspection and Annual Service Inspection:
Daily
Inspection: Before using the Rise IIIS-130, always check the following points:
·There should be no visual cracks, dents or deformation of any metal part on the Chair
·All retaining rings should be in place
·The actuator should not make jarring sounds when activated with load
Service: Rise IIIS-130 must undergo at least one service inspection annually by an authorized
technician. Service agreements can be made with your dealer. Borringia cannot be held
responsible for damage to persons caused by the failure to carry out annual service
inspections.
9. Water Ingression:
Humidity: Rise IIIS-130 is designed for use in the shower. However, neither the chair nor the
electronics should ever be submerged
The electronics box is ONLY splash proof if correctly mounted and the battery inserted. If
the battery is removed during showering / cleaning, water will enter into the box and the
electronics may be destroyed. Failure as a result of this is NOT covered by the warranty.
10. Cleaning:
The Rise IIIS-130 is designed to be easy to clean:
·For daily cleaning, we recommend using wet-wipes either based on ethanol or containing anti-bacterial
ingredients.
·For thorough cleaning, the Rise IIIS-130 may be cleaned in automated washing machines or with
saturated steam for up to 1 minute at 90° Celsius (194° Fahrenheit), for 5 minutes at 85° Celsius (185°
Fahrenheit) or 10 minutes at 80° Celsius (176° Fahrenheit).
Should the electronics on the Rise IIIS-130 interfere with other electrical equipment,
contact your dealer IMMEDIATELY and DO NOT USE the Rise IIIS-130 chair until
service inspection and repair has been CARRIED OUT!
Always follow the instructions below:

6
·Cleaning of the toilet seat and the frame underneath it is easily done. Just pull upwards at the front of
the seat and remove it.
·Depending on the hardness of the water in your region, we recommend that chalk stains be removed
every 2 – 4 weeks. For environmental reasons, we recommend that you refrain from using acids or the
like. Simply spray the chair with standard household vinegar and leave it to work for 2-3 hours, then
rinse with water. Dry the chair with a cloth. In extreme cases you may want to use a household chalk
stain remover. Dilute the product with 4 parts of water before applying to the areas to be cleaned.
Lubrication: Approx. once a month, apply a bit of Vaseline to the piston of the actuators.
11. Recycling:
When the Rise IIIS-130 is taken out of use, you should see to it that the chair is disposed off in an
environmentally friendly way. Follow the instructions below:
Metal parts: All metal parts are made of steel and can safely be recycled. The painting will
not result in any toxic components as a result of recycling.
Electronics: The electronics including the batteries should be delivered to a recycling plant
equipped to handle electronic waste safely. If in doubt as to whether such a
facility is available, please return the electronic components to your dealer, who
will then pass these on to the manufacturer for safe recycling.
