MANATEE
Congratulations on your new Manatee bathing chair.
In choosing the Manatee, we are sure that you have got a bathing chair,
which will live up to any expectations one can have for a modern aid for
children. The Manatee is designed to be used in bathrooms, in which the
child can not ever be left alone.
The Manatee is a bathing chair for children between 1 and 11 years with
a lesser handicap. The Manatee is constructed to provide both caregivers
and users a wonderful bathing experience. The bathing chair is designed
to place the user in exactly the right sitting position. The depth of the seat
can be adjusted, allowing the bathing chair to "grow" with the child and
provide many years of use. The adjustments and accessories are logically
positioned, affording the caregiver proper working conditions.
This user manual is meant as a guide to assist the user in gaining the full
benefit of the many options offered by the Manatee. Therefore we recom-
mend you to go through this manual before the Manatee is put into use.

SAFETY
The Manatee has earned the CE-mark. This certifies that it meets all relevant European
safety requirements. The durability of this product is 5 years when it is used on a daily
basis. Hereafter the product must be renovated (by R82 personnel) to extend the lifetime.
Remove the CE-mark, when rebuilding the product or when using other than
original R82 spare parts.
Never leave your child unattended in this product. Ensure constant supervision
by an adult. Incorrect use of the product, may cause serious injury to the user.
Ensure that the belt is securely fixed to the product before every use.
The user must be removed from the product, before angling the chair legs.
We recommend to remove the pressure load from the users body and legs, before
angling the back and leg support. Put a gentle back pressure on the back and
leg support to remove the pressure load.
Check the temperature of the water before the Manatee and the child is placed
in the bath.
The enclosed belts and accessories can not be used as long-term supports but
may only be used as an extra help when positioning the user.
Secure the chair when any adjustments have been made. Then place the user
on to the Manatee.
Check on the cover, belts and accessories and make sure that the velcro fastens
securely.

MAINTENANCE
When the chair has been used in water containing
chlorine it has to be washed out with clean water
and dried with a cloth. Make sure that all water is
out of the frame.
Do not use any cleaning materials containing chlo-
rine or methylated spirit.
All screws on the chair have to be checked regularly
to avoid unintended failures.
Adjustments which are not described in this manual,
must only be made by authorized R82 personnel.
