Drive Medical GmbH & Co. KG | As per: 13.01.2023 | Errors and alterations excepted
Information on the battery, power supply unit and
manual control:
• Use the manual control only to operate the bathtub lift.
• The bathtub lift may be operated only with an original
Drive Medical manual control.
• Never throw the manual control into a fire and do
not store the manual control near fire or intense heat
sources.
• Do not open the manual control. Opening the manual
control invalidates any warranty.
• Use only the power supply unit provided to charge the
battery in the manual control.
• If the housing of the manual control is damaged, it
should no longer be used.
• For your safety, the power supply unit should be used
only outside of the bathroom in dry areas. The power
supply unit should only be used for charging the man-
ual control provided.
• The battery must be charged prior to initial use and after
each subsequent use. If there are longer periods during
which the bathtub lift is not used, the battery should be
recharged every 3 months to extend its service life.
• Do not insert any conductive objects (such as a knitting
needle, metal pin, etc.) in the jack socket of the man-
ual control.
• Always remove the power plug from the outlet before
cleaning the manual control and/or the power supply
unit.
• Only use a dry cloth for cleaning the manual control
and/or the power supply unit.
• Although the bathtub lift, the manual control and the
power supply unit are designed to be robust, they
should not be dropped.
• Do not use the bathtub lift if there is any externally vis-
ible and/or audible damage. Contact your dealer if this
occurs. We recommend entering the address at the
end of these instructions for use.
• For more information, technical details and addresses,
please read the entire instructions for use.
• Troubleshooting information is available on our home-
page (www.drivedevilbiss.de) if the unit malfunctions.
Be sure to follow the information and instructions there.
For your own safety, you should not use the bathtub lift
until the malfunction has been corrected.
Important safety rules
• Always sit in the middle of the bathtub lift, with your back
against the backrest, slightly extend your legs and place
your hands either on the edge of the tub or in your lap.
• During raising or lowering, do not grasp between the
edge of the tub and the bathtub lift or underneath the
seat surface since doing so can lead to injuries.
• Persons with serious physical disabilities or mental con-
fusion should never be left in the bathtub unsupervised.
Bathe independently only if your state of health permits
this. Otherwise bathe only under supervision.
• Before using the bathtub lift, perform a test run (move
it up and down with hold and check the EMERGENCY
STOP function).
• In the event of a malfunction, do not continue using the
bathtub lift; instead have it repaired by the dealer.
• Do not bring any objects (such as brushes, etc.) along
into the bathtub!
• Every serious incident that occurs in connection with
the product must be reported to the manufacturer and
the competent authority of the member state in which
the user and/or patient is located.
