QUICK CHECK LIST

CHARGING YOUR HANDCONTROL

Before you first use your Bathlift, please charge your battery handcontrol for 12
hours. Please continue to charge your battery hand control after every bath or for
at least 12 hours per week. You cannot overcharge your battery hand control. If
the battery hand control indicator light flashes red it means you do not have
sufficient charge to use your Bathlift. Please recharge immediately. The battery
handcontrol indicator light will turn amber when charging is in progress. The
charger indicator light will turn red when charging is in progress. Please charge
your battery handcontrol on a hard, flat surface at normal room temperature and do
not cover.

SIDEFLAP DIVERTERS

If you have handles on your bath, please ensure that you attach the sideflap
diverters (plastic strips packed with your Bathlift) to your bath handles. Failure to
do this may cause obstruction to the mechanism and affect your warranty.

INSTALLATION

When connecting the Bathlift backrest to the seat base, please ensure that the
grooves and pegs are correctly aligned and completely flat. Press down onto the
grooves before lifting the backrest.

SUCTION CUPS

Please ensure that your Bathlift suction feet are securely sticking to the bottom of
your bath. If you have dimples or ripples on your bath, you may need to purchase
additional middle suction feet to ensure safe and secure adhesion to the bath.
Please check that your suction feet are sticking to the bottom of your bath every
time before you have a bath.

The AquaJoy Premier Plus Bathlift may only be used to assist one person getting
in and out of a bath at a time. It should not be used for climbing in and
out, up or down, as a support or lifting platform outside of the bath. Please
note the bathlift is not a toy and children should not be allowed to play with the
Bathlift.
If you are unable to take a bath on your own, use the Bathlift only under
supervision.
Before taking a bath, carry out a trial run to make sure the Bathlift functions
correctly.
Always check the Bathlift suction feet are securely sticking to the bottom of the
bath.
Always ensure and check that the Bathlift backrest pegs are aligned correctly with
the Bathlift base grooves and pressed down flat. (see page 6 & 7)
Always follow the charging instructions for your battery handcontrol.
Always check the water temperature before bathing.
The use of excessive amounts of bathing oils or salts will require the bathlift to be
cleaned more frequently.
Never reach between the base plate and the seat (hazard of hand becoming
trapped in the scissor lifting mechanism).
Always check there are no obstructions in the mechanism before use.
Please ensure the handcontrol retention clip is always connected to the actuator
during use.
Always disconnect the handcontrol when the backrest is folded flat.
When installing your AquaJoy Premier Plus Bathlift, please ensure you place
it at the opposite end to the taps.
If you have handles on your bath, please ensure you attach the sideflap diverters
(plastic strips packed with your Bathlift) to your bath handles. Failure to do this
may cause an obstruction to the mechanism and will affect your warranty. If the
Bathlift sideflaps become trapped under your bath handle, STOP, press the down
button on your handcontrol, make sure the sideflap is no longer trapped under the
handle and press the up button on your handcontrol.
