Assembly Instructions
The stainless steel bases are designed to be used with your Columbia
Ultima™ Stainless Steel Bath Chair. Both bases raise the height of your
bath chair. Advantages of a higher bath chair include easier transfers
and a reduced risk of back strain for the care giver. You will need a
hand-held shower hose in your tub for proper bathing.
Step 1:
Remove unit from the box and
place on a flat surface. Loosen the
TWO blue adjustment knobs by
turning them counter-clockwise.
See Fig. 1
If using the 8800 extension base
(without the casters), make sure to
place the base in the tub before
moving on to Step 2.
Step 2:
Adjust the legs on your Ultima bath chair to the desired position. Place
the rear legs onto the rear channel of the 8880/8890 base unit; the
horizontal base of the legs will fit into the support channel. See Fig. 1
Slowly lower the front legs of the
Ultima chair into the second channel.
If needed, adjust the length of the
8880/8890 base to accommodate the
front legs of bath chair. See Fig. 2
Step 3:
Tighten the blue adjustment knobs by turning them clockwise.
Step 4:
Connect the holding straps, pulling tight to make sure the Velcro is
properly engaged.
