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.
Safety Informaon

• 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.

Installaon and Use
Before ng the Bathing Cushion in the
bath
• Remove any non slip mats from the area
where the sucon cups will be posioned.
• Ensure the boom of the bath is clean
and smooth, with no oil or bath cleaner
residues that will prevent the sucon feet
from scking. WARNING: 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.
• Pass the air hose through the loop in the
corner of the backrest (A g.1), on the
side that you propose geng into and out
of the bath. The air inlet valve (B) can be
rotated, allowing the hose to be led to the
appropriate corner.
Fing the Bathing Cushion in the bath
• Fold the backrest over onto the seat as
indicated in g. 2. Lightly place the deated
Bathing Cushion in the middle of the empty
bath with the ‘handle’ (C) aligned with the
centre of the bath.
• Hold the ‘handle’ and pull the Bathing
Cushion towards the slope of the bath
unl there is a gap of approximately 25mm
between the bath slope and ‘handle’
(C gs. 2 & 3).
• Firmly press all four sucon cups down
and check that they are securely stuck to
the bath. Wet them to help them sck if
necessary.
• Fold the backrest out so that it rests on the
slope of the bath.

Connecng the air hose and hand control
• Connect the air hose from the Bathing
Cushion to the Airo air outlet socket
(D g. 4).
• Connect the Hand Control (E) to the Airo
Hand Control socket (F).
Dry trials (without water in the bath)
• Select ‘Up’ on the hand control (G g. 5)
to inate the Bathing Cushion and when
the relief valve blows (it will hiss), release
the ‘Up’ buon. Press rmly down on the
Bathing Cushion to secure the sucon
cups to the oor of the bath. Check all four
sucon cups are securely stuck to the bath.
Wet them to help them sck if necessary.
• Whilst sll clothed and with the help of
an assistant if required, carry out some
dry ‘pracce runs’ according to these
instrucons unl you are totally condent
using the product.
Note: During a ‘dry trial’ the Bathing Cushion
may make a noise when being lowered and
raised due to the fabric rubbing against the dry
sides of the bath, this is normal and the noise
will disappear when the bath is full of water.

Installaon and Use
to get into the bath
• With the Bathing Cushion in the bath,
ensure that all 4 sucon cups are adhering
to the oor of the bath, ll the bath with
water at a suitable temperature (Maximum
50°C/120°F).
• With the Bathing Cushion fully inated, sit
on the seat and then swing your legs into
the bath.
• To maintain stability, ENSURE THAT YOU
ARE SEATED CENTRALLY AND RIGHT AT
THE BACK OF THE SEAT SO THAT YOU ARE
TOUCHING THE BACKREST (g. 6).
WARNING: Do not sit further forwards
as shown in gure 7, as you may slide o
the front of the seat and sustain possible
serious injury.
• Select ‘Down’ to lower yourself into the
bath. KEEP YOUR KNEES BENT AND FEET
FLAT ON THE FLOOR OF THE BATH AS YOU
ARE LOWERED SO AS TO AVOID SLIDING
FORWARDS ON THE SEAT. Hold the sides
of the bath or grab handles for added
support if required.
• You can stop at any me by releasing the
‘Down’ buon.
Note: you may nd it more comfortable to
leave a small amount of air in the Bathing
Cushion, to cushion yourself on the boom
of the bath (g. 8). 8
Using the Bathing Cushion
WARNING: 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.

Maintenance and Care
• Aer use, drain the bath water and release
the sucon cups from the oor of the
bath. Do this by liing the rim of a pair of
sucon cups (g. 11) to release the sucon
between sucon cup and bath.
• Tilt the Bathing Cushion so that the
released sucon cups do not re-adhere to
the surface (It helps to place a small towel
beneath them to stop them re-adhering to
the bath).
• Release the remaining pair of sucon cups
by liing their rims as before.
• Remove the Bathing Cushion from the bath
and disconnect the air hose.
NOTE: To deate the Bathing Cushion when
not sing on it, disconnect the air hose.
The Airo compressor will not suck air from
the Bathing Cushion. To speed up deaon,
apply some weight to the Bathing Cushion by
pressing down on it.
For ease of carrying and hanging up for storage,
fold the Bathing Cushion as indicated (g. 12)
and pass the ‘handle’ (C) through the slot
between the seat and backrest.

Maintenance and Care
Cleaning
roune cleaning
• Drain the bath water and fully inate the Bathing Cushion for cleaning whilst it is sll in the
bath. To clean between the seat and base secons, parally deate the Bathing Cushion.
• All components can be cleaned with a proprietary non abrasive mild liquid cleaner or
disinfectant. Always follow packaging instrucons for using mild detergent products.
NOTE: Before using proprietary cleaners, always test on an inconspicuous area.
• Use a so cloth when cleaning.
• Do not wash the product in boiling water.
IMPORTANT: Following cleaning and aer each use, rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove
all soap deposits. Wipe dry or leave to air dry. Never store the Bathing Cushion when it is wet or
damp. It is recommended that the Bathing Cushion is le inated in-between uses to allow air to
circulate around it and reduce the risk of mould forming on the surface of the product. Do not
leave in bright sun light. Do not dry using hot air.
disinfecon
• The Bathing Cushion should be fully inated and pre-cleaned by washing with detergent and
water, thoroughly rinsed and then disinfected using a 1:10 soluon of household liquid bleach
and water (1 part bleach to 10 parts cold water). Leave the soluon on the Bathing Cushion for
approximately 10 minutes before thoroughly rinsing o with clean cold water.
WARNING: Never mix bleach with any other cleaning product as doing so can result in the
formaon of harmful acids and poisonous gasses which can cause serious breathing problems.
Thick bleach should not be used for disinfecon purposes (other than in toilet bowls and
drains) as it contains potenally poisonous addives. Always read the safety informaon on
the label before using any bleach product.
Maintenance
• Clean the Bathing Cushion aer each use. NOTE: It is
especially important to thoroughly clean your Bathing
Cushion aer each bath if ‘Deol’ or similar products have
been added to the bath water.
• Regularly check that the sucon cups are secure and
undamaged; these are screwed onto threaded studs on the
underside of the Bathing Cushion and should only be hand
ght (g.13).
• Check that the air hose and connector are not damaged.

Mangar Internaonal recommends that your Bathing Cushion is inspected annually by either
your supplier or other suitably qualied person. If required, Mangar Internaonal can provide
the above inspecon within an annual service contract. Please contact our Customer Service
Department for further details.

Transportaon / Storage
Disconnect the Airo compressor from the Bathing Cushion before transporng so as to avoid
accidental inaon of the cushion.
Ensure that the Bathing Cushion is clean and thoroughly dry before storing. Failure to thoroughly dry
the Bathing Cushion before storage may result in a build-up of mould on the surface of the product
leading to a weakening of the fabric and consequenal invalidaon of the product warranty. Store
in a dry environment.
To maintain the Airo baery when being stored for long periods, put the Airo on charge overnight
every 3 months.
Disposal / Recycling
When the Bathing Cushion has reached the end of its working life, dispose of it at your local
household waste recycling centre (civic amenity site).
When the Airo has reached the end of it’s working life, remove the baeries for safe disposal in
accordance with your local council guidelines, and dispose of the Airo at your local household
waste recycling centre (civic amenity site).
