Ensure that you read and understand this instrucon manual before using
this product. Failure to follow the instrucons and safety precauons in
this manual can result in damage and/or serious injury.
Please keep these instrucons in a safe locaon for future reference
WARNINGS (Risk of possible injury or other serious adverse reacons)
• Ensure that you feel completely condent to use the Bathing Cushion either on your own or
with assistance if required. You may be at risk of drowning or injury if you are uncertain or not
condent in using the Bathing Cushion or if a medical condion prevents you from using the
Bathing Cushion as laid out in these instrucons. If you have any concerns about an exisng
medical condion aecng your ability to safely operate the Bathing Cushion, consult a health
professional.
• The independence that the Bathing Cushion provides does not negate the need to ensure that
adequate assistance is on hand in case it is required. It is advisable that a telephone or other
means of communicaon is taken into the bathroom when bathing without assistance. As with
all mechanical and electrical devices, unforeseen breakdowns can occur and so whilst in the
unlikely event that there is a malfuncon of the Bathing Cushion, a method of summoning
adequate assistance should be available.
• Do not operate the Airo compressor in the presence of ammable anaesthec mixtures with
air, oxygen or nitrous oxide, as these mixtures can create a combusble environment leading
to the potenal for re or even an explosion in the presence of a spark.
• Do not use the Bathing Cushion if under the inuence of alcohol or if taking medicaon which
may aect your ability to exercise judgment, coordinaon or motor control.
• The Bathing Cushion should only be used as a bathing aid, NEVER use it out of a bath. NEVER
use the Bathing Cushion to climb in or out of the bath. NEVER use it as a step, stand or as a
device for liing items.
• Do not use the Bathing Cushion as a support to steady yourself when cleaning the bath or
when reaching into the bath to retrieve items, as doing so may place an uneven or unbalanced
load on the Bathing Cushion causing it to become unstable.
• The Bathing Cushion should only be used for its stated purpose and should not be modied in
any way.
• Ensure that when in use, the Airo compressor, the hand control lead and air hose are laid out
in such a way as to avoid any risk of tripping or strangulaon.
• Do not allow children to play with the Bathing Cushion or Airo as operaon of the equipment
in an uncontrolled or unsupervised situaon may lead to personal injury and/or damage.
• To avoid personal injury during use and/or damage to the equipment, keep animals away from
the Bathing Cushion and Airo compressor.
• Before each use, ensure that there are no obvious signs of damage or lose sucon cups. If in
doubt, do not use and seek advice from your supplier.

• To ensure full stability when in use, make sure that the sides of the Bathing Cushion touch the
sides of the bath when fully inated.
• Remove any non slip mats from the area where the sucon cups will be posioned.
• Ensure that any oil and soap residue is removed from the Bathing Cushion and bath. Pay
parcular aenon to the sucon cups and oor of the bath. Ensure that the sucon cups
adhere rmly to the bath before each use. The sucon cups may not adhere to the surface in
baths that have been re-enamelled or that have rippled or textured surfaces. Do not use if the
sucon cups do not adhere to the bath.
• ALWAYS INFLATE THE BATHING CUSHION AND USE THE BATHING CUSHION TO LOWER
YOURSELF INTO THE BATH. This allows the micro processor in the Airo to calculate the
required baery power to raise the Bathing Cushion and if it calculates that there would be
insucient power, it will not allow the hand control to operate the down funcon.
• To maintain stability, DO NOT try to lower yourself into the bath or raise yourself from the
boom of the bath unl you are IN AN UPRIGHT SEATED POSITION CENTRALLY AND RIGHT TO
THE BACK OF THE SEAT SO THAT YOU ARE TOUCHING THE BACKREST (see gs. 6 & 9).
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, NEVER recharge the baery in the bathroom, outdoors or in
a damp environment.
• Do not use any other air supply to inate the Bathing Cushion.
• The sucon cups contain Latex. Users with an allergy to Latex should take parcular care to
avoid prolonged contact with the sucon cups. The sucon cups are situated at the base of
the seat and are not normally in direct contact with the user during use.
CAUTIONS (Risk of possible problems including device malfuncons, device failure,
damage to the device or damage to other property)
• Only recharge the baery with the Mangar Internaonal baery charger supplied with the
Airo compressor.
• To prevent damage, always release the sucon under each sucon cup before liing the Bathing
Cushion from the bath. Do not aempt to release the sucon by pulling up on the seat, backrest
or ‘handle’.
• Never use hot air to dry the Bathing Cushion following cleaning as this may aect the integrity
of the welded seams and fabric and lead to premature failure of the cushion resulng in an
inability of the cushion to raise you from the bath.
• Disconnect the Airo compressor from the Bathing Cushion before transporng so as to avoid
accidental inaon of the cushion.
• Do not use bath addives containing peanut oil as this can damage the sucon cups. If such
addives have been used, ensure that the sucon cups are thoroughly wash and rinsed to
remove residues.

Intended use
The Bathing Cushion is intended solely for use as a bathing aid to assist a person to lower
themselves into and out of a bath. Users should have sucient upper body strength to be able
to hold the sides of the bath for added support if required. The Bathing Cushion is not intended
for any other use and should never be used outside of a bath. When properly maintained, the
Bathing Cushion will give many years of trouble free service.
Construction
The Bathing Cushion is constructed from a very strong polyurethane coated nylon material which
has been precision cut into panels and then joined together by high frequency welding. This
produces a very strong light weight and air ght construcon. The Bathing Cushion incorporates
an air pressure relief valve which will not allow the cushion to be over inated by the Airo Mk3
compressor.
Power is provided by the Mangar Internaonal
Airo Mk3 baery powered compressor.
PLEASE READ the separate Airo Mk3
compressor instrucons before using your
Bathing Cushion.
