Cover Installation:
Ultima (BTUF-8130M, BTUF-8140L):
• Pull on the angle adjustment pull handles (A, G)
to set the backrest and calf supports to the most
upright position (Fig. 3). Slip the cover over the
backrest and adjustment pull handle and then
calf support and pull handle (Fig. 4). Wrap the
velcro straps around the top side-tube and secure
underneath the seating (Fig. 5).
Ultima Access (BTUAF-5130M, BTUAF-5140L):
• Pull on the back angle adjustment pull handle (A)
to set the backrest support to the most upright
position (Fig. 3). Slip cover over the back rest
and adjustment pull handle (Fig. 4). Wrap the
velcro straps around the seat frame and secure
underneath the seating (Fig. 6).
Adjusting Back Angle:
1. Locate the adjustment pull handle (A) on the back
of the seating under the cover (it is not necessary
to remove the cover to operate the lever).
Using both hands, grip the lever and back
frame and squeeze together.
2. With a lifting motion, adjust the back angle
up or down.
WARNING: Back angle should not be
adjusted when the seating is occupied.
Adjusting Calf Support Angle:
1. On the calf support frame, under the cover, locate
the adjustment pull handle (G) for the Ultima or
the adjustment pull tab (Fig. 1) on each leg for
the Ultima Access. It is not necessary to remove
the cover. Using both hands, grip the lever and

Rolling Base Assembly:
1. If ordering footrests, slide the footrest clamp over
the leg tubes making sure the notched end faces
upward. Align the center slot on the clamp to
the holes on rolling base leg (Fig 7). Secure the
clamps with bolts. The height is adjustable and
can be re-positioned when the seating is fully
assembled for correct t.
2. Insert the casters into the socket on the bottom of
the individual leg tubes (Fig 8).
3. Insert the leg tubes into the rolling base by
depressing the locking buttons and sliding the leg
tube up the frame.
Seating and Rolling Base (Shuttle) Assembly:
4. Insert the guide rail hooks into the guide rail and
slide the seating frame assembly onto the rolling
base. (Fig. 9). Be sure to slide the seating all the
way until the safety latch locks into position on the
base (Fig. 10).
Note: To remove the seating from base, release
the safety latch in the back and press the Slider
Safe™ button (Fig. 11).
5. If ordering with footrests, insert them by aligning
the slots on the footrests with the notches onto
the footrest clamps.
Tub Base Assembly:
6. Unfold the tub base legs by pulling the legs out
and rotating them into position. Each leg is in
position when it locks into the slots at the bottom
of the frame rail (Fig 12).
Note: When unfolding the legs, grab the leg on the
darker-colored pivot section as close to the top
as possible. This will prevent damage to the leg and
make it easier to unfold.
Note: When folding the tub base for storage, fold
the two front legs (the legs closest to the latch) rst.
The adjusting legs do not have to be removed when
folding for storage.

1. With the legs in the open and locked
positions, place the transfer base into
the shower or tub (Fig 13). Then, roll the
seating to the end of the tub base (Fig 14).
Note: The shuttle base is reversible and
can be installed on the slide rails in either
direction to accommodate any bathroom
layout.
2. Adjust the leg height of the tub base so
the frame tubes are at the same height as
the rolling base and both are aligned when
positioned end to end (Fig. 15).
3. Make rough adjustments (¾”) with the
detent buttons (Fig. 15), or make ne
adjustments by loosening the back knobs
(refer back to Fig. 12) and turning the legs
to the desired height. Tighten the adjusting
knobs when the height is set.
4. When the heights of the tub base and the
rolling base are equal, move the rolling base
as close as possible to the tub base. Place
the tongue of the manual locking latch over
the receiver on the tub base (Fig. 16).
5. Lock the rolling base to the tub base
with the center latch before attempting
to transfer or slide the rolling base. Loop
the tongue from the tub base over the
hook receiver on the rolling base. Lock
the base to the seating by pulling down on
the manual locking handle until the safety
lock clicks in place (Fig. 17). The safety
lock prevents the seating base from rolling
away.

6. Prior to transfer, raise the calf support high enough to clear the sides
of the tub (Fig. 18).
7. When transferring, roll the shuttle base
until the latch on the back clicks into the
position lock bolt (Fig. 19). There are
position lock bolts on rolling base and
tub base. These will lock the seating into
a secure position and eliminate any side
movement and/or rolling during use.
Note: The lock bolt on the tub base can be
repositioned into two other locations
for better positioning of the individual
over the tub in certain applications
(Fig. 20).
8. To release the lock, pull upward on
the black knob on the lower back
of the slider and allow it to travel
between the coupled rolling base and
bath tub base.
