The trolley must not be used if any damage is observed.
• Under no circumstances should a client be left alone in the shower trolley.
• Although tted with castors, these are to enable ease of movement of the trolley the device is not
intended to be used for patient transportation.
• The trolley is a showering aid and is not intended for use as a bath. The shower trolley must not be
lled with water, as such no plug is provided and one should not be sourced elsewhere.
• Where the trolley is to be used by multiple bathers, cleaning with a medical disinfectant to prevent
cross contamination is strongly recommended. (follow the maintenance schedule on page 5).
• The lift/transfer of the client should be assessed and planned by a trained person.
• Any damage to the TRT4 electric actuator or charger should be reported immediately and the trolley
removed from use until repaired.
• The TRT4 should be subjected to a PAT test at least annually.
• It is recommended that shower trolleys are serviced by a qualied engineer at least annually, six
monthly in areas of high use (eg nursing homes).

Operating Instruction
1. Position the shower trolley near to the showering facility and locate the outlet pipe into a suitable
waste.
2. Prior to use, inspect the shower trolley for signs of distortion on the cot sides or latches. If the item
is damaged it should be considered unsafe and replaced. The shower trolley itself must not be
used if there is any sign of damage.
3. The trolley is designed to be angled to allow water run o󰀨 through the outlet pipe. To ensure that
water does not congregate around the users head, ensure that the liner is inserted correctly. (ie
that the outlet pipe is located at the lower end of the trolley when the trolley is raised.)
4. Ensure that the brakes are in the ON position prior to attempting any transfer and remain ON
whilst the trolley is occupied. (see page 3)
5. Position the trolley bed to its lowest position by depressing the down foot pedal or the down button
on the hand control for the electric (TRT4) model.
Note: the lower speed has been carefully set to provide a safe and controlled lower speed. Ap-
plication of force to the top of the cot side in an attempt to increase the speed can result in serious
damage to the cot side and the actuator.
6. Pull the latch lever down to release the cot side.
Note: cot sides lower on both sides of the trolley, where one side of the trolley is unattended the
latch must be checked prior to use to ensure that it is secure and will not release during use (see
page 4).
7. Unclip the poppers on the corners of the liner and lay the liner at.
8. Position the bather onto the shower liner.
Note: prior to attempting any transfer the action should be planned and prepared.
9. Rex the shower liner corners and reposition the cot side.
Note: ensure that latch locks securely into place. (see page 4)
10. Raise the trolley to a suitable height by depressing the up pedal or the up button on the hand
control for the electric (TRT4) model.
11. Proceed with bathing.
12. When bathing is complete remove the bather by repeating operations 5-7 in reverse. Brakes must
be applied.
13. Where the shower trolley is to be used by multiple bathers it is strongly recommended that the
trolley is cleaned after each use using a medical disinfectant (see page 5)
14. The TRT4 electric actuator should be charged in accordance with the instructions on page 5.
Never leave a user unattended in the shower trolley

Applying the Brakes
To ensure the safety of both the end user and the carers, the braked castors should be checked for
damage prior to each use and applied during transfer and when in use.
As standard, shower trolleys have 4 braked castors. Braked castors are indicated by a GREY locking
lever.
Where requested at manufacturer , 3 braked and 1 directional lock castor. A directional lock castor is
indicated by a GREEN locking lever.
The brakes are applied/release as shown below;
The directional lock castor is indicated by a GREEN locking lever.
When applied (in the same manner as shown above) it is important to note that the directional lock is not
a brake it will lock the trolley into a straight steering position but will not prevent movement.
Please note: only one directional locking castor should be tted to the trolley, should more than one be
observed this should be reported to the service/maintenance contractor.

As the side rail of the trolley is lifted, the latch
makes contact with the locating pin. As you
continue to lift the latch opens and nally
clicks over the pin. As shown in A & B.
There should be no reason to open the latch
manually to achieve closure.
1.
If the latch is only partially engaged, the adjust-
ing screw is too far out.
If the latch does not open automatically the
screw needs adjusting outwards. A small
amount of silicone grease on the top of the
latch will assist with the automatic action.
When any adjustment is made the lock nut
must be fully tightened.
See gure D.

2.
When the side rail is vertical, the latch should
be fully engaged as shown in C.

It is recommended that the battery pack is fully charged prior to
rst use. Charging time from at to full is approx 4 hrs.
The batteries are charged through the handset by connecting
the power lead to the handset as shown.
Whilst charging the LED on the charger will ash orange and will
change to green once fully charged.
It is recommended that the battery pack is charged at least
weekly in domestic use, or daily in institutional use.
When the battery is running low an audible bleep will sound as a warning that the trolley should be
recharged.
The handset is IP51 rated, however to prevent damage it should be protected from
water ingress and should not be submersed in water.
The trolley should not be charged whilst in the bathroom or any other wet environment.
