When showering, care must be taken to
avoid soaking the unit with an excess of
water which could damage the interior
electronics. There is a purpose made
shower cover protection cap which your
Supplier can supply, which would help to
protect the bath lift.
Apart from the above, the bath lift needs
no maintenance other than normal good
housekeeping attention to cleanliness.
However, do not use bleach or other skin
irritant substance to clean the belt. The bath
lift will give constant service for many
years to its user..
INSTALLATION
WALL MOUNTING THE UNIT
Walls of various constructions each require
dierent treatment and dierent xings. By the
operation of the bath lift with its lifting weight
of up to 127 kilos (280 lbs) the wall supporting
this item and the securing ttings used
therewith must be suciently robust to meet
the purpose.
Note: this bath lift will not operate 100%
eciently against a bath with a curved
exterior.
The wall plate has six projecting studs which
have provision for screws, bolts or other
suitable xings to pass through the centre of
the stud to secure the wall plate rmly to
the wall.
The chassis backplate is machined with 6
keyhole slots which allow this steel plate to slot
tightly down over the projecting studs. Both
plates should t together ush and level at the
bottom edge.
The bath lift should be tted so that the centre
line of the lower three studs are 130mm
(approx. 5”) above the rim of the bath, allowing
a 75mm (3”) gap under the bath lift. The edge
of the belt is usually positioned near the change
from the slope at the back of the bath to the
at bottom of the bath and best positioned
to suit the user’s comfort. If a shelf is tted
between the bath and the wall, the bath lift
will operate satisfactory up to 100mm (4”). For
wider shelves, please contact your supplier for
advice and special attachments.
Position the wall plate as described above.
Use 6 o 6mm screws with sleeves of
sucient length to x to this type of wall
( MINIMUM LENGTH 80mm). Follow the
screw manufacturers instructions for correct
tting. Make certain that all six fastenings are
securely tted..
An absolutely secure xing to this type of
wall is vital. Reinforcement of or the insertion
of a solid area is essential. Consult a builder
experienced in this work. If screwed rods
with nuts are used to x right through the wall
together with a load spreading plate on the
rear side then make certain that the rods nish
FLUSH with the nuts inside the unit –
OTHERWISE THE BELT COULD BE
DAMAGED WHEN USED.
Position as above.

Because it is imperative that the
installation is carried out safely and
correctly, it is strongly suggested that
this work be undertaken by an
experienced professional, familiar with
building construction.
