Operating instructions Please ensure both yourself and any helpers read these instructions carefully before using your bath lift. These operating instructions should be retained for future reference. This bath lift is designed and manufactured to assist individuals in getting in and out of the bath. It should not be used for any other purpose.
Diagrams for operation and explanation of use are on the fold-out diagram sheet attached to the rear of this booklet 1. Unpacking the bath lift Open the packaging and ensure the bath lift is not damaged and that all parts are included. If it has been damaged in transit, or parts are missing, contact your supplier immediately.
• Ensure that no metal objects touch the contacts on the battery, as this will damage the battery. • Use only the Mountway charger supplied to charge the battery and for no other purpose. 3. If you have a telecare-enabled bath lift The telecare-enabled bath lift has been designed to integrate with the Tunstall Lifeline 400, 4000+ and Connect+ units.
4. Preparing the bath for installation i ) Remove any non-slip mats from the bath. ii ) Ensure the bottom of the bath is clean and smooth, with no oil or bath cleaner residues that will prevent the suction feet from sticking. iii ) The suction feet may not be suitable in baths that have been re-enamelled or that have rippled or textured surfaces.
• If in any doubt, recharge the battery before use (see section 2, “Charging the battery”). NOTE: The battery is for use solely with Mountway bath lifts and cannot be used to operate any other product. 7. Using the bath lift NOTE: Ensure all four suction feet are attached to the bath surface before each use.

iv) Sit on the side flap and move onto the seat, ensuring no part of your body can become trapped as you do so. You may find it easier to transfer if you wet the seat and the side flaps first. A slide and swivel aid is available, should you find transferring difficult (see section 16, “Accessories”).
8. When the bath lift is not in use i) If you wish to clean the bath lift whilst it is in the bath (see section 10, “Cleaning”), we recommend doing so when it is at its highest position in the bath. This allows access for cleaning both the bath and the underside of the bath lift.
Repairs and servicing must be entrusted to a Mountway authorised dealer or engineer. The bath lift should be inspected annually by a Mountway authorised dealer or engineer, who will check that there are no loose fittings or any other evidence of mechanical damage.
