DANGER - RISK OF SCALDING:
Yo r Kingkraft prod ct is man fact red sing top q ality components and assemblies. As an option, in
order to minimise the risk of scalding, a Thermostatic Mixer Valve (TMV) can be fitted between yo r
hot water s pply and the shower (optional) and bath inlets. THESE ARE NOT FITTED AS
STANDARD – PLEASE CHECK THE SPECIFICATION OF YOUR BATH AND IF IN ANY DOUBT
CONSULT KINGKRAFT FOR ADVICE. The operation of these TMV’s sho ld be reg larly checked,
especially after any maintenance. See the section below on maintenance of yo r nit for f rther
instr ctions. The safe temperat re of the mixed water m st be checked prior to bathing on each
occasion – see section of filling the bath.

Page 5 of 23
The standard Easibath has a mains electrical connection to power the lifting mechanism and whirlpool
system (if fitted). There is a risk of electroc tion if any wires become damaged and a potential fire risk
if the mechanisms fail and overheat. Yo r bath sho ld only be sed if any powered eq ipment on it
(eg. Whirlpool, raise/lower system etc.) is connected to a s itable power s pply protected by an earth
leakage circ it breaker. The electrical req irements are contained in the pre-installation instr ctions
available from Kingkraft. Test the earth leakage circ it breaker which s pplies power to yo r bath
reg larly (at least once a week), and if yo are in any do bt abo t its operation, cons lt a q alified
electrician before sing the bath.
WARNING
If thermostatic mixer valves are fitted, please refer immediately to the man fact rer if the water is too
cold or too hot and do not se the bath ntil the problem is corrected.
If conventional hot and cold taps are fitted, please ens re that the bath water is f lly mixed by hand (if
cool eno gh) or mixer paddle to a safe temperat re, prior to sing the bath. WARNING! With no
thermostatic valve attached there is the danger of scalding!
Certain bath additives may damage the bath, if they contain bleach or other corrosives. Use only
water, normal soaps and approved cleaning agents. If in do bt, please contact Kingkraft for advice
abo t the s itability of the additives yo wish to se. Kingkraft recommend Chemgene.
Under no circ mstances m st acid or bleach based cleaners be sed. To do so invalidates yo r
g arantee. We recommend that yo r Kingkraft Bath sho ld be cleaned with Chemgene which is
available from s. See the section on cleaning below for instr ctions on how to safely clean yo r nit.
If yo r nit has any electrical controls, switch off the s pply at the wall isolator (mains nits) or
disconnect and remove the battery pack (battery nits only) before attempting any maintenance,
incl ding cleaning.
Do not se press rised water jets to clean the bath and keep water jets away from the controls,
p mps and the bath chassis when cleaning aro nd the bath. Do not steam clean.
If yo r Easibath is fitted with a whirlpool hydrotherapy system, se only low foaming bath additives.
Normal b bble baths will froth excessively with whirlpools and m st not be sed as they pose a
serio s risk of drowning / s ffocation / asphyxiation to the ser and many ca se damage to property.
Do not attempt maintenance nless the bath is empty.
Check the Easibath freq ently for damage, especially the mains lead and earth wire. If yo find signs
of damage, do not se the bath and contact Kingkraft as soon as possible to arrange for service and
repair.
RISK OF SCALDING
Altho gh safety devices can be fitted as an option to minimise any
risk of scalding, sers m st be aware that these are not
necessarily fail safe. The temperat re of the water in the bath
MUST BE INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED ON EVERY OCASION it
is sed and before an incapacitated person comes into contact
with the water. Ideally a calibrated thermometer sho ld be sed.
Please check if yo r bath specification incl des for these mixer
valves.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Bathing sho ld be a relaxing and enjoyable process. Yo r Kingkraft prod ct has been developed over
a n mber of years and is specifically designed to be “User and Carer Friendly”.
The Easibath is designed for se as an assisted bathing bath with an optional variable height f nction
to ease the risk of back strain for the carers and incorporating a niq e fold-down side for easy
access.
The fold side also allows the Easibath to be sed as a general p rpose changing table and a shower
platform. Bathers can be ndressed on the platform prior to bathing and also dried and dressed
afterwards, th s minimising moving and handling.
The folding side is load bearing, and on the Hi-lift model, it is set at wheelchair height when the bath is
at its lowest level. This allows direct transfer to and from a wheelchair. The Fixed height model sho ld
be installed at a height pre-determined by the c stomer.
The Easibath is designed to be sed in conj nction with some types of mobile and over-head track
hoist systems.
WARNING!
Provision MUST be made to be able to remove the ser from the bath safely and q ickly in case of an
emergency or power fail re to the bath. This m st be feasible when the bath is in any of its raised
positions.
(E.g. providing a floor mobile hoist in case the ceiling track hoist system fails, or to be able to hoist the
ser o t of the bath if there is a fa lt / power fail re when the bath is in its highest position.
The variable height adj stment (if specified) allows the bath to be raised to working heights s itable for
most carers, which minimises the risk of back-strain and fatig e.
For positioning and s pporting bathers, Kingkraft prod ce a range of q ickly interchangeable inserts
and s pports to cater for a variety of different sers. Details can be s pplied by Kingkraft. These
accessories m st be specified following an assessment of the bathing needs of the ser. Most
s pports can s ally be trialled in the Easibath on req est to Kingkraft.
With Easibaths that have the option of thermostatic mixer valves, the maxim m bath and shower
water temperat re are pre-set and reg lated by thermostatic mixer valves, incorporating over -
temperat re sh tdown protection. Please check whether yo r Easibath has this option. If in any do bt,
contact Kingkraft for assistance. These mixer valves may be separate discrete nits positioned nder
the bath or they may form part of a mixer tap nit mo nted on top of the bath. (A f rther option is for
digital mixer valves which control the temperat re of the water to the bath and optional shower from
‘off’ thro gh to ‘cold’ and then to a maxim m preset temperat re).
Also to be enclosed with this man al are waterproofed operating and cleaning instr ction sheets for
wall fixing adjacent to yo r Easibath. Please ens re these are available for all sers and that their
contents are nderstood and the instr ctions are followed by all carers and sers of the bath.

Optional Bather Supports and Cushioning
To ens re that the bathing process is as relaxing and enjoyable as possible whilst maintaining bather
safety it is important that the correct se of bather s pports is made.
Each bather’s needs may be entirely different and an assessment by an Occ pational Therapist
sho ld be ndertaken for each ser of the bath and the correct s pports sed. Kingkraft man fact re
a range of standard and c stom-b ilt s pports, some of which may have been s pplied with this
Easibath. Their aim is to position the bather comfortably yet sec rely.
Some s pports rely on s ckers to hold them in position.
WARNING!
The athing cushions are made from PVC.
Please make s re the ser will not have any allergic reactions to this material before se.
Some s pports are attached to the base of the bath by s ckers.
In all cases these s ckers sho ld be attached to the bath itself and not to any other mattress or
s pport.
The se of s ckers is designed to allow the s pport to be removed.
This also means that the s pport may move inadvertently if s bjected to s fficient force by the ser or
if excess air appears in the PVC cover.
Extreme care is needed to ens re the s pports are correctly specified and sed.
The supports will also have a tendency to float.
The bather m st never be left nattended in the bath, especially if sing s pports and c shioning.
If in any do bt abo t their safe se, or the degree of sec re s pport req ired do not attempt to se.
please contact kingkraft immediately for advice

Page 9 of 23
Easibath backrests do not as standard have s ckers attached to them. These sit on top of the base
mattress as standard, and the back of the backrest ‘hooks’ nder the lip of the top panel of the
Easibath t b end.
Knee Rests are provided with s ckers for attachment directly to the bath t b base. They m st not be
placed on any other material s ch as another mattress, the s ckers will not sec re the s pport
properly / safely.
The Bathing Process
Before sing the bath / the bather getting into the bath, the water sho ld be t rned on as described
below and allowed to flow into the bath with the pop- p waste(s) open to allow any cold water to flow
away. This process sho ld be contin ed ntil the water temperat re is perceived to be constant. This
operation will allow the mixed water temperat re to increase to the req ired level (if the mixer valve
option is specified) and permit the carer and/or ser to check that the maxim m temperat re is safe
prior to the bather entering the bath. If the water temperat re does not achieve a comfortable level
there may be a fa lt and the bath sho ld not be sed ntil the fa lt is rectified. T rn off the water, and
allow any resid al water in the bath to drain. If the temperat re achieved was satisfactory, the bath is
now ready for filling. Close the pop- p waste by operating the p sh-p ll lever or depress the pl g itself
depending on which type is fitted.

Mains Powered Easi ath
General
The raising / lowering system ses electrical act ator mechanisms / lifting col mns located nder the
bath powered via a controller which is connected directly to the mains power s pply. A handset is
provided which operates at low voltage for safety. Each pair of col mns are fitted to a base plate that
m st be fixed to the floor.
If there is any do bt abo t the safety of the nit or if any cabling appears damaged, do not se it and
contact Kingkraft immediately.
The handset m st not be s bmerged or s bjected to press rised water cleaning.
If the bath is a static / fixed height version there will be no active lifting system, b t a mains cable /
c rrent may still be present if the bath is fitted with a whirlpool option. If the lifting frame is battery
powered, then an older design of frame will be fitted which will se a single linear act ator and not fo r
lifting col mns. Please caref lly read the instr ctions which apply to yo r model.
When the lifting frame / col mns are moving, the maxim m load noise, 1 metre away, does not
exceed 65 dBA. Maxim m working load is 130Kg, incl ding water, patient, mattress and other
accessories.
Care of the unit
The system m st not be overloaded by trying to raise more than one person at a time. Sho ld
overload occ r, damage may be ca sed to the nit and it may fail to operate.
The nit is designed to operate in a bathing area b t it sho ld not be s bmerged and press rised
water m st not be sed in cleaning the components.
If any physical damage to the act ator mechanisms nder the bath or cabling occ rs then do not se
the nit ntil it has been examined and rectified by a competent person and declared as safe.
Fault finding
The nit m st be installed by a competent person who m st connect it to a circ it breaker mechanism
provided by others to ens re safety. If a fa lt has occ rred in the electrical s pply the circ it breaker is
designed to c t o t. The fa lt m st be traced and rectified by a competent person before the reset
switch on the circ it breaker is operated. The lifting mechanism and control system itself sho ld not be
tampered with as it is designed only for repair by a competent person. In all cases, advice sho ld be
so ght from Kingkraft.

Page 13 of 23
Battery Powered Frame models
General
The battery powered system ses a 24 Volt rechargeable battery which drives a linear act ator. A
removable battery is s pplied with the system together with a wall mo nted charger which is to be
installed by a competent person in a safe dry area.
To operate the raise/lower function
Firstly check that the proposed operation will not ca se damage to nearby eq ipment or inj ry to
personnel. Press the b ttons on the hand set to raise or lower the nit as req ired. Releasing the
b tton will stop the operation. (If the nit is fitted with the additional feat re of a red emergency stop
b tton, this may also be activated to ca se an immediate stop. The nit will not operate ntil the
emergency stop b tton has been reset) - this is done by twisting it ntil it clicks o t.
To remove and recharge the battery
The battery clips on and off the mo nting bracket on the frame by means of a release lever at the end
of the battery. When the battery charge level falls to approximately 50% a warning b zzer may so nd
each time the nit is operated. At this stage the battery m st be removed and recharged. This will
ens re maxim m battery life. To recharge the battery, simply nclip it and attach it to the wall mo nted
battery charger well away from the wet area and free from interference. A light will ill minate when the
battery is charging and exting ish when charging is complete. (A f rther light on the charger indicates
that it is connected to the mains).
Care of the unit
The system m st not be overloaded. It is designed to operate with only one person at a time. Sho ld
overload occ r, a c t-o t may operate and the nit will not operate ntil the overload has been
removed and the system has a tomatically reset itself, normally within a few seconds. Sho ld gross
overload occ r, physical damage to the act ator or the bathing nit may occ r and the nit may
descend to its lowest point.
The nit sho ld not be sed if cabling or other components appear damaged.
The system is designed to operate in a bathing/showering area, b t the components sho ld not be
s bmerged in water or s bjected to press re washing. Kingkraft recommend Chemgene® for
disinfection of the s rfaces. The components sho ld be dry before re sing.
Fault finding
If the system doesn't operate, please check as follows.
 Is the battery charged?
 Are all leads and connections f lly engaged?
 Is the battery sec rely clamped in place?
 Has the emergency stop b tton been activated (if fitted)?

EASIBATH INSTALLATION
Yo r Kingkraft prod ct sho ld be only installed by competent installers. However, if yo have to move
or re-install the bath for any reason, please take care to read the req irements given in the Pre-
Installation and Installation Instr ctions and the installation section below. Great care m st be taken
not to damage the lifting col mn mechanisms if moving the bath. These are easily damaged if the bath
is lifted or slid from the original bath installation position incorrectly, never attempt to move the bath
when the col mns are in an extended / raised position. Please contact Kingkraft for advice if yo need
any f rther information or assistance.
Units with electrical services m st only be wired in accordance with the IEE Wiring Reg lations,
especially as regards zoning and eq ipotential bonding. Kingkraft prod cts are intended for operation
only in a bathroom type location where exposed mains connections and nsealed switches etc. are
not permitted.
The unit must not be connected via a plug and socket
The power s pply to the Easibath (if powered version) m st be wired into the s pply via an isolator
which s pplies only the bath and m st have do ble pole switching with contact separation of at least
3mm. If the isolator is not within sight of a person maintaining the bath nit, it m st be lockable in the
‘off’ position.
We recommend that yo r Easibath is connected via a Resid al C rrent Circ it Breaker (RCD/RCBO)
with an operating c rrent of not greater than 30mA
With the exception of the control handset, all parts of the bath control system which are connected to
any electrical s pply m st be inaccessible to any person in the bath and m st be fixed firmly into
position.
Take care to ens re that the floor on which the bath is to be placed can withstand the f ll weight of the
loaded bath ( p to 500kg for standard specification Easibath).
Separate full Pre-Installation and Installation Instru tions are available from Kingkraft.

MAINTENANCE
This Initialisation Procedure is concerning the lifting mechanism
on the following products:
Kingkraft Varia le Height Easi ath
If the ath will not respond to the pressing of the raise or lower uttons on the handset /
mem rane switch, and you can hear a eeping sound coming from the ath, you will have to
follow this initialisation sequence to re-set the ath.
Failure of the mains power to the ath, or running the ath off the ack-up attery only could
lead to the synchronisation of the lifting columns ecoming compromised, causing the system
to stop working until it is reset.
Initialisation Procedure

Most maintenance req ired by Kingkraft prod cts is simply a vis al inspection to check that the nit is
in safe working order. A check-list for these items may be fo nd below.
If yo find any fa lts with the nit, ens re they are rectified immediately and in any event before the
bath is next sed. If in do bt abo t any repair proced re, please contact Kingkraft for advice or to
arrange a service visit.
The Easibath t b and panels are constr cted from white polypropylene and also ses a fire retardant
GRP / gel coat as a baseboard. All c shioning PVC o ter material and filler foam is also fire retardant.
No naked flames are to be in the vicinity of the bath.
Thermal mixer valves (TMVs) if fitted req ire special maintenance and testing to ens re they are safe
and contin e to operate effectively. These req irements are set down in the Department of Health
g idance doc ment ‘Safe’ hot water and surfa e temperatures, p blished by HMSO, ISBN 0-11-
322158-4. Under special circ mstances, for example in a domestic dwelling, if specified by the ser,
the thermostatic mixing valves sed by Kingkraft may not be tested to the DO8 standard or may be
omitted.
The maintenance proced re for TMV’s is as follows. This proced re sho ld be carried o t at least
ann ally for baths in domestic premises, and more freq ently where the bath is sed by more than
one person or in hard water areas.
1. Che k the temperatures of the inlet and outlet for the TMV as follows:
1.1 Record the temperat re of the hot and cold water (inlet) s pplies;
1.2 T rn the bath fill control, to fill the bath, so the water flow is at maxim m and record the
temperat re of the water flowing into the bath.
1.3 Set the bath fill control so that the flow of water into the bath is at a minim m and that the
water temperat re as it flows into the bath is as high as possible. Record the temperat re of
the water flowing into the bath. (N. B. do not set the flow of water so slow as to allow it time to
cool down before it reaches the meas ring apparat s).
1.4 While meas ring the temperat re of the water flowing into the bath, t rn off the cold water
s pply to the mixer valve and record the maxim m temperat re reached.
1.5 Contin e to monitor the temperat re of water flowing into the bath after the cold water s pply
to the TMV has been switched off and record the final temperat re reached.
1.6 Compare the temperat res meas red with those recorded d ring the last maintenance
checks on the mixer valve / tap (or with the initial commissioning temperat res which are
recorded in the doc mentation accompanying yo r new bath)
1.7 If any of the temperat res has altered by more than 1°C, or if the maxim m temperat re
recorded exceeds 43°C, the TMV req ires maintenance as in section 2 below.
1.8 Retain the records of temperat re meas red for f t re reference (a sample record sheet is
provided below.)
2. Che ks on the TMV
2.1 Check all in-line and integral strainers are clean.
2.2 Check all in-line and integral check-valves and anti-back siphonage devices are in good
working order.
2.3 Check all isolating valves are f lly open.
2.4 Repeat stages 1.1 to 1.6. If the temperat res meas red have not stabilised within a degree or
two of those recorded on the last maintenance check, the valve / tap m st be removed for
specialist servicing. Contact Kingkraft for f rther advice.
