Activeforever EZ Bathe Inflatable Tub - Manual (Page 3)

DRAIN HOSE ATTACHMENT:
The DRAIN HOSE is
connected to the TUB DRAIN on the outside of the tub by attaching the
BLUE PERFECT UNION to the TUB DRAIN . (This can be done by simultane-
ously pushing up and slightly twisting the male (non-threaded) end be-
fore attaching connector ring). NOTE: The
YELLOW ON / OFF VALVE is used
for water control. Turn valve to “ON” for consistent draining or to “OFF”
to stop drain flow. If a longer drain hose is needed, a standard garden
hose may be attached for additional length.
DRAIN FUNCTION: The EZ-BATHE draining system uses a
gravity fed method. In order to achieve the most efficient draining, the
tub must be higher than the object you are draining into. Otherwise,
improper drainage may occur.
DRAINING THE EZ-BATHE: With the DRAIN HOSE attached to
the TUB DRAIN on the inflated tub, run the end of DRAIN HOSE to bathtub,
shower, or toilet and turn YELLOW ON / OFF VALVE to ON position for
draining (refer to section on “DRAIN FUNCTION” for additional
information in this area). If tub is not draining fast enough, check to be
sure that the
DRAIN HOSE has no kinks or large drooping curves. Draining
works best if the DRAIN HOSE slopes at a consistent level to the draining
area. Raising the head of the bed a few inches may also improve drain-
age. Once tub is completely drained, the
SUCTION PORT and GULPER
ATTACHMENT can be used to vacuum any soapy water that may remain.
Rinse, drain, and towel dry the EZ-BATHE before storing.
OPTIONAL PUMP USAGE: If required, a water pump may be
used to increase the flow of water through the drain hose. Connect the
pump to the
YELLOW ON / OFF VALVE . Any type of water pump having a
standard garden hose connection may be used. NOTE: This item is not
available through Homecare Products, Inc., however, most home &
garden stores carry suitable pumps.
FAUCET ADAPTER:
The FAUCET ADAPTER allows you to attach
the HAND - HELD SHOWER to most faucets. Once the adapter is secured to
the faucet, it is a simple procedure to connect or disconnect the shower
hose.
OPENING THE TUB DRAIN: The TUB DRAIN has two
closures and both need to be removed in order to install the drain hose.
The large outer closure simply unscrews. Gently pry out the smaller,
inside closure. Once both closures are removed, insert your index finger
inside the
TUB DRAIN and extend drain opening out, creating a cone
shaped drain valve. NOTE: This step prepares the drain for the
siphoning effect needed for efficient draining. If not completed, poor
draining will occur.
IMPORTANT: The
DRAIN HOSE must be attached to the TUB DRAIN before
filling the tub with water.
INSTALLING THE FAUCET ADAPTER Remove the
existing aerator from your faucet and determine whether the threads are
male or female.
1. If your aerator has threads on the outside you will need to use one of
the male thread adapters (found in enclosed hardware bag).
a. Match the thread diameter of your aerator to one of the male
thread adapters. (The thread size on the FAUCET ADAPTER is
15/16-27 female and the enclosed male thread adapters are
sizes 55/64-27 and 13/16–27. If neither male adapter fits your
faucet, check your local hardware store for additional sizes.)
b. Screw the correct size male adapter into the top of the FAUCET
ADAPTER . Place the correct size black washer (located in
hardware bag) on the male adapter before screwing onto
faucet. Hand tight is usually sufficient but pliers are sometimes
needed.
c. If your aerator has female (inside) threads, screw the faucet
adapter onto your faucet just as you received it.
2. After attaching FAUCET ADAPTER , turn the water on and check for
leaks. NOTE: The HAND - HELD SHOWER HEAD contains a safety feature
that, even in the “ OFF ” position, may enable it to dribble a small
amount of water.
a. IMPORTANT: Make sure the ON / OFF LEVER is in the down
(“ OFF ”) position before turning on the water. If water leaks from
the top of the faucet adapter you will need to add an additional
washer (located in enclosed hardware bag).
ATTACHING HOSE TO QUICK CONNECT:
To make
installation quick and easy (and to eliminate the use of tools), PUSH - IN
HOSE FITTINGS are located on the HAND - HELD SHOWER and on the FAUCET
ADAPTER .
1. Determine correct hose length needed.
a. The hose can be cut to any length that is most convenient for
your use. IMPORTANT: Cut hose as squarely as possible.
2. Insert one end of SHOWER HOSE into PUSH - IN HOSE FITTING located on
the FAUCET ADAPTER by simply pushing the end of the hose past the
HOSE RELEASE RING and into the QUICK CONNECT HOSE FITTING (see
diagram above). Push and hold the HOSE RELEASE RING until friction is
felt as the tube slides past the o-ring. NOTE: Using a slight twisting
motion while inserting the tube is often helpful.
3. Insert remaining end of SHOWER HOSE into HOSE QUICK CONNECT
located on the HAND - HELD SHOWER .
REMOVING HOSE FROM PUSH-IN FITTING:
1. Before removing hose, depressurize the unit by turning off water
(either at faucet or using ON / OFF LEVER on FAUCET ADAPTER ), then
depress FLOW TRIGGER on HAND - HELD SHOWER .
2. To remove the hose, push and hold the HOSE RELEASE RING against
the face of the QUICK CONNECT HOSE FITTING (or HAND - HELD SHOWER )
while pulling the HOSE out.
