SECTION 2—OPERATING THE BATH LIFT
10
ƽ WARNING
Follow the facilities procedure for each individual.
Invacare recommends the use of the safety strap and shoulder harness when using
the bath lift. ALWAYS adjust the safety strap and shoulder harness for safety and
comfort before transferring the resident onto the chair.
The safety strap should be used when lifting or transferring. Otherwise, the resident
may fall from the seat.
6. Raise the lift seat by pressing the Up arrow on the hand pendant to ensure the
resident’s feet are off the floor.
7. Unlock the wheels and transfer the resident to the bathing area.
8. Open the door of the bathing unit.
9. Adjust the height of the lift seat so it is slightly higher than the actual seat of the tub.
10. Slowly begin to bring the resident and seat into the open tub (Detail “A”).
NOTE: Approach at an angle roughly 45 degrees to the tub.
11. Place the resident’s feet in the foot well of the tub.
12. Continue guiding the resident and the lift chair into the tub (Detail “B”).
13. Gradually rotate the lift until the support column and push handles are behind and
outside the rear rim of the tub and the resident and lift chair are inside the tub (Detail “C”).

14. Once the resident and chair are completely and safely inside the tub, use the hand
pendant to lower the lift chair until it is just above the seat of the tub but not touching.
Refer to Raising/Lowering the Bath Lift on page 11.
ƽ WARNING
Make sure arms and legs are out of the way of the door to avoid pinching either the
resident’s or attendant’s limbs in the door.
CAUTION
Make sure the locking handle of the tub
is in the fully raised position when the
door is being closed.
