GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Multibath SE is designed to be used in Hospitals, Nursing and
Residential homes and domestic properties.
This bath is used to assist the carers in the bathing of a person who gener-
ally has some reduction in mobility by raising and lowering the bath to a
convenient height. The traversing seat allows transfer in out and out of the
bath.
WARNING!
PROVISION MUST BE MADE TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE USER FROM THE
BATH SAFETLY IN CASE OF EMERGENCY OR POWER FAILURE. THIS MUST
BE FEASIBLE WHEN THE BATH IS IN ANY OF ITS RAISED POSITIONS.
(I.E A MOBILE HOIST IN CASE THE CEILING TRACK HOIST FAILS)
The Multibath SE is supplied with a TMV3 rated bath fill as standard.
This user manual should be read thoroughly before use and we would
recommend putting laminated user and safety instructions on the wall
adjacent to the bath for other carers/users. Please ask Kingkraft if you
would like some copies.
Only accessories manufactured by Kingkraft are intended for use in the
Multibath SE. If other accessories manufactured by others are used we
recommend a risk assessment is undertaken as to their safe use.

RISK OF SCALDING
Although safety devices are fitted to minimise any risk of scalding, users
must be aware that these are not fail safe. The temperature of the unit must
be independently verified on each occasion it is used-this should be tested
ideally with a calibrated thermometer.
Refer to Kingkraft if the water is too hot or too cold and do not use the bath
until the problem has been corrected.

Cushions & supports
Our cushions are manufactured using PVC and foam filler or polystyrene beads.
There is a risk of floating, pleas ensure they are secured before use.
• Ensure that the bath bottom and mattresses/suckers are clean
• Place cushions/supports securely onto base / side of bath
• Run a small amount of water into the bath
• Press the mattress firmly onto the bottom of the bath
When removing for cleaning take care that each suckers is prised carefully away
from the bottom of the bath to avoid a tearing action. If the cushion rips around the
suckers, this will invalidate your warranty.

Fault finding. If your bath is not going up and down but making a ‘beeping noise’,
firstly check that the power supply has not been turned offto the bath. If the
power supply is turned on, try the below.
If the bath will not respond to the pressing of the raise or lower buttons on the
handset switch, and you can hear a beeping sound coming from the bath, you will
have to follow the initialisation sequence to re-set the bath.
Failure of the mains power to the bath, or running the bath offthe back-up
battery only could lead to the synchronisation of the lifting columns becoming
compromised, causing the system to stop working until it is reset.
Initialisation procedure
(only required following loss of synchronising as above)
• Press both up and down button at the same time for at least 5 seconds. This
will activate the new manual mode. The buzzer will beep.
• After the 5 seconds the beep will change to a shorter / different kind of beep.
Release the up and down button and then press the down button only (this
has to be done within 5 seconds. If not the beep will stop and you have start all
over again from point 1)
• During pressing the down buttons all columns will drive inwards. The beep will
be continuous as long as the columns are driving inwards. Columns have to
be driven all the way down after which the beep will stop. The system is then
initialized and ready for use.
We recommend an annual service on all Kingkraft products. If any faults are found
in the unit, contact Kingkraft immediately.
Below is a table to help you keep record of when Kingkraft have attended.
However we will send a reminder letter when the service is due to the address
on our records.
