1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 HOWARD WRIGHT LIMITED
Congratulations on choosing a Howard Wright Limited product. Established in the 1950’s, Howard Wright Limited
has built a reputation based on product quality and design innovation. Today our equipment is found in healthcare
institutions worldwide.
1.2 INTENDED USE
The Pacific Shower Bathing Trolley is mainly used in assisting the prevention, treatment and alleviation of disease,
or compensation for an injury or disability. The Pacific Shower Bathing Trolley is designed to be used by trained
health professionals and lay persons where the Pacific Shower Bathing Trolley is located in a home environment.
The Pacific Shower Bathing Trolley is used generally within a hospital ward, nursing home or any other medical
institution as a means of bathing and showering of patients and transporting patients from one area to another for
the purpose of bathing or showering. In the home healthcare environment, the Pacific Shower Bathing Trolley is
generally stationary.
The Pacific Shower Bathing Trolley is intended to support one patient up to a weight not exceeding 200kg (including
the mass of water and accessories).
1.3 TECHNICAL SUMMARY
1.3.1 VERSIONS
Two versions of the shower trolley are available.
Standard bogie height and raised bogie height. Raised bogie height provides additional clearance for patient
lifters.
The shower trolley is supplied with electric operation only.
1.3.2 CONSTRUCTION
The shower trolley has a LINAK control box. An onboard removable sealed lead-acid battery provides power to
operate LINAK actuators at 24V DC. Control buttons are located on a handset for adjustment of the tub sides and
patient platform heights.
The shower trolley push handles, buffer rails, castors and bogie are all manufactured from stainless steel, aluminium
or hard wearing plastic to resist rust and chemical attack. Other structural parts of the shower trolley where water
runs off easily are made of powdercoated fabricated steel.
The upholstered tub is a seamless design made from fabric reinforced stretch polyurethane with foam padding for
extra patient comfort. The fabric provides thermal insulation to give warmth at first touch.
Plastics used are PE (PolyEthylene), PP (PolyPropylene), PU (PolyUrethane) Nylon, PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) and
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). Latex rubber is not used.
The waterproof pillow is PFC Vinyl Nitrile Foam (closed cell) with a Polyvinyl coating.

5. UNPACKING & COMMISSIONING
WARNING: Ensure that the handset cord is positioned so that it cannot become damaged during shower trolley
adjustment.
CAUTION: Ensure that all transport ties have been cut and removed before using the shower trolley.
CAUTION: Charge the battery as often as possible (minimum recommendation: six hours once every three
months). Fully discharging the battery will reduce its life.
CAUTION: Do not use near open fires or radiant heaters.
NOTE: To manoeuvre the shower trolley, release the brakes by setting the castors into the neutral position.
(see section 6.1).
To unpack and commission the shower trolley:
1. Remove any external packaging.
2. Cut and remove the transport ties.
(The locations of these ties will vary depending on how the shower trolley has been transported).
3. It will be necessary to fit the shower trolley’s castors if the shower trolley has been packaged in a carton. Fit the
steer castor at the right hand side, drain end. Special care must be taken so that it tracks in line with the shower
trolley. Fitment of the castors is only to be conducted by a competent person. Use a 19mm spanner.
4. In extreme temperatures allow 24 hours for the shower trolley to reach inside ambient temperature.
5. Install the battery (see section 6.3).
6. Check that the shower trolley is operating correctly (see section 6).

6. OPERATION
6.1 CASTORS
see figures 5-7
WARNING: All castors must be locked when transfering a patient on or off the shower trolley and during bathing
operations.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to push the shower trolley sideways when the steer castor is in the steer position.
CAUTION: Ensure that the steer castor trails the direction of movement.
CAUTION: When moving the shower trolley from room to room, take care that handrails on hallway walls or
other sharp extrusions do not damage the upholstered top (tub
surface).
CAUTION: When moving the shower trolley from room to room, the patient
platform should be at, or near, its fully raised height to prevent
the drain hose from dragging on the floor.
CAUTION: Do not try to lock the shower trolley’s castors on a grade of more
than five degrees. The shower trolley is designed to operate
and lock in level situations only.
NOTE: To ensure that the steer castor locks in a position that trails the
direction of shower trolley’s movement:
1. Push the shower trolley a short distance in the intended
direction of travel, to align the castors.
2. Push the steer castor tab down towards the floor to lock.
3. Continue to push the shower trolley. An audible ‘click’ will
