• Ensure that you have read and fully understand
these instrucons before aempng to operate
the Archimedes.
• The Archimedes should only be used as a bathing
aid, NEVER use it out of a bath.
• Ensure that the sucon cups adhere rmly to the
bath before use.
• The Archimedes is designed to go as low as possible
in the bath. In baths with exceponally narrow or
curved sides/bases, it may be unsuitable. Always
check that the chair secon is free to lower to its
full extent and rise again freely. Be certain that it is
posioned correctly before use.
• Do not allow the Archimedes to lie on its back in
the bath water.
• Ensure that the transfer aps will be clear of any
obstrucons, such as bath handles and soap dishes,
as the seat secon is raised.
• Only recharge the baery with the Mangar Health
baery charger supplied with the Archimedes.
• NEVER recharge the baery in the bathroom,
outdoors or in a damp environment.
• Do not use in the presence of ammable anaesthec
mixtures with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• Do not operate the actuator when it is disconnected
from the base.
• Do not use the Archimedes as a support to
steady yourself when cleaning the bath or when
reaching into the bath to retrieve items.
• Disconnect the hand control from the actuator
before transporng so as to avoid accidental
operaon of the liing mechanism.
• The sucon cups on the base secon and on the
hand control contain latex. No other part of the
product or associated packaging contains latex.

Standard Contents
1 x Archimedes Bath Li (inc.transfer aps) (A g.1).
1 x Sealed Hand Control (B).
1 x Baery charger (C).
1 x User Instrucons.
Geng Started
Unpacking - Remove the contents from the packaging
and check them to make sure that no damage has been
caused during transit. If it has, contact your supplier
immediately.
Baery - This must be put on charge before using your
Archimedes for the rst me as follows:
• Connect the hand control to the baery charger
and plug the charger into a mains power supply
OUTSIDE THE BATHROOM and allow the baery to
charge overnight (see “Baery Charging”).
Seat and base secons - The Archimedes can be
easily separated into three secons (g.2).
• Seat secon (A)
• Base secon (B)
• Actuator (C)
To separate the seat from the base
secon and actuator:
• Fold the transfer aps onto the seat.
• Release the transit e (A g.3) by pulling up the
‘O’ ring and liing the ball clear of the slot in the
locang collar on the actuator.
• Press the lower part of the latch at the back of
the seat (A g. 4) and li the seat suciently to
allow the actuator to disengage itself from the slot
(B g. 4) and the actuator locator bracket (C g. 4).
The actuator can now be removed from the base
secon.
• Li the seat secon clear of the base secon.
• Reassemble in the reverse order. Do not reaach
the transit e unless you are intending to carry the
assembled Archimedes.
NOTE: The transit e should only be reaached to
the back of the seat secon in order to keep both the
seat and base secons together whilst carrying the
Archimedes.

Fing the Archimedes in the bath
• Before placing the Archimedes in a bath, check
that the surface where the sucon cups will be
sing is clean and free from bath oil and cleaning
residue. Remove an-slip mang from this area.
WARNING: The sucon cups may not adhere
properly on textured and non-slip areas of a bath.
• Remove the actuator and seat secon from the
base (see “Geng Started”). Moisten each of the
sucon cups and place the base secon as close
to the back slope of the bath as possible.
• Fold the transfer aps onto the seat and slide the
seat secon onto the base secon.
• Slightly raise the seat secon enough so that you
can reposion the actuator in the socket at the
back of the base unit (A g. 5).
• Posion the top end of the actuator into the slot in
the latch (B g.5) at the back of the seat secon and
make sure that it ‘clicks’ into place as you lower the
seat again. NOTE: Ensure that the seat can slide freely
up and down before using the Archimedes (g. 6).
• Plug the hand control into the actuator lead and
close the retaining clip (A g. 7).
• Fill the bath with water at a suitable temperature.

Archimedes
Hand Control
The hand control is a completely sealed unit containing
a rechargeable baery and baery state indicator light;
it contains no user serviceable parts. DO NOT aempt
to open.
Baery State Indicator
When either the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ buons are pressed,
the indicator light (A g. 8) shows the state of the
baery as follows:
GREEN - OK to use.
FLASHING GREEN - OK to use but the baery needs to
be recharged aer this bath.
RED - The baery needs recharging before use. The
seat will not lower. NOTE: The microprocessor
in the hand control will not allow the seat to
be lowered if it detects that there will not be
enough baery power to raise it again.
The baery is not replaceable. When it reaches the
end of its working life, indicated by failure to accept or
retain charge (frequently showing red on the baery
state indicator), the complete hand control will need
to be replaced with a new one. It should be disposed
of in accordance with local regulaons or returned to
your supplier or to Mangar Health for safe disposal.
DO NOT dispose of the hand control with your normal
household waste.
Emergency Stop Buon
In an emergency, the seat movement can be stopped
at any me by pressing the ‘STOP’ buon on the hand
control (A g.9).
NOTE: Releasing the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ buons at any
me will also stop the seat movement.

Using the Archimedes
WARNING: Please note that the hand control
incorporates an important safety feature which will
ensure that the seat cannot be lowered unless there is
sucient baery power to raise it again. To acon this
feature eecvely ALWAYS RAISE THE SEAT USING THE
HAND CONTROL and USE IT to lower yourself into the
bath.
• Press the ‘Up’ buon on the hand control to raise
the seat.
• Release the ‘Up’ buon when the seat is level with
the edge of the bath. NOTE: Make sure that the
transfer ap is level with, and supported on, the
edge of the bath (g.10) before transferring.
• Sit on the ap and transfer across onto the seat.
• Press the ‘Down’ buon to lower yourself. Releasing
the buon at any point will stop the seat.
• To raise the seat, press the ‘Up’ buon. Release
the buon when the transfer ap is level with, and
supported on, the edge of the bath.
Removing the Archimedes from the bath
• Fully lower the seat.
• Fold the transfer aps onto the seat.
• Press the lower part of the latch at the back of the
seat (A g.11) and li the seat suciently to allow
the actuator to disengage itself from the slot (B) and
the actuator locator bracket (C). The actuator can
now be removed from the base secon.
• Li out the actuator.
• Li the seat secon clear of the base secon.
• Li the sucon cup release handle at the back of the
base secon (D g.11) and lt the base forwards.
• Connue lng the base forwards using the guide
bars. This will automacally release the sucon on
the front sucon cups and the base secon can then
be lied from the bath. NOTE: DO NOT use the
sucon cup release handle (D g.11) to fully lt or li
the base secon. NEVER aempt to release sucon
on the rear sucon cups by pulling on the guide bars.

Archimedes
Storage
The Archimedes should be stored with the seat secon
fully lowered and the hand control disconnected.
During long term storage, it is recommended that at
approximately three month intervals, the baery is put
on charge overnight.
When stored for long periods, ensure that the
Archimedes is thoroughly dry and stored in a dry
environment.
The transit e (A g.13) should be aached to the seat
secon to allow the Archimedes to be easily picked up
and moved.

Roune Cleaning – Regularly clean the Archimedes with the same non-abrasive cleaners normally used to
clean the bath and wipe dry or leave to air dry. It is best to separate the base and seat secons before cleaning.
Disinfecon - All components should be pre-cleaned and then disinfected by wiping with a 1:10 soluon of
household liquid bleach and water - 1 part bleach to 10 parts cold water (10,000ppm (1%) Sodium Hypochlorite
soluon). Leave the soluon on the surface for approximately 10 minutes before thoroughly rinsing o with clean
cold water. Alternavely, a hard surface, alcohol impregnated wipe can be used.
NOTE: It is especially important to thoroughly clean the Archimedes aer each bath if ‘Deol’ or similar products
have been added to the bath water.
Baery Charging
• Disconnect the hand control from the actuator.
• Connect the hand control to the baery charger
(g.12). NOTE: The supplied baery charger may
dier in appearance from the image, however, the
connecng process is the same.
• Plug the baery charger into a mains power supply
outside of the bathroom and switch on. The light
on the charger (A g.12) will light up to indicate
that the charger is connected. NOTE: The supplied
baery charger may not have a light, however, the
baery will sll be charged.
When the baery needs recharging, the hand control
should be le on charge over night. The hand control
can be le on charge connuously without damaging
the baery or charger. We recommend that the hand
control is le connuously on charge when the
Archimedes is not in use, as a maer of roune.

Maintenance
Other than roune cleaning, the Archimedes has been designed to be maintenance free, however, we recommend
that your Archimedes is inspected annually by either your supplier or other suitably qualied person.
NOTE: If the Archimedes is used with the assistance of a professional carer, the Archimedes becomes classed as
‘work equipment’ under the ‘Liing Operaons and Liing Equipment Regulaons 1998 (LOLER)’ and we would
recommend that the Archimedes undergoes a thorough examinaon at intervals not exceeding 24 months, in
accordance with the ‘Thorough Examinaon Schedule’ - available through Mangar Health.
If required, Mangar Health can provide the above inspecon within an annual service contract. Please contact our
Customer Service Department for further details.
There are no user-serviceable parts in the Archimedes. Repairs or servicing must only be carried out by your
supplier or other authorised person.
Fault Finding
If the seat fails to rise:
• Check that the hand control plug is FULLY pushed into
the actuator lead socket (g.14).
If the seat fails to lower:
• Check to see if the baery state indicator light is
showing RED. If it is, put the hand control on charge
overnight.
• Check that the hand control plug is FULLY pushed into
the actuator lead socket (g.14).
