Positioning the board

Ensure there is a minimum horizontal flat surface
(minimum 40 mm) on the bath tub rim for the bath
board overhang to rest upon. When installed ensure
that the bath board does not overhang the outer
edges of the bath

Regular maintenance

Regularly check the bath board for damage and
wear, paying special attention to the condition of the
slatted seat and clamping brackets. Wing nuts should
be regularly inspected to ensure they are tight. Do
not use the bath board if the product is cracked or
deformed in any way.

Care & cleaning

To clean the bath board after each use, wipe clean
with a mild soap and warm water solution and rinse
well. Dry with a clean cloth.

For heavier soiling, wipe clean with a diluted bleach
solution and rinse well before drying. Do not use water
temperatures in excess of 80°C.

Avoid harsh, abrasive cleaning agents or utensils
(such as a wire brush) as these can lead to
deterioration of the seat.

Position the bath board across the bath so that it sits
equally on the rim of the bath on each side. Slide the
clamping brackets until they make contact with the
sides of the bath and tighten the wing nuts. Check
that the bath board feels secure and cannot be easily
moved when pulled forwards, backwards or sideways.

Before use, ensure the bath board is squarely and
securely positioned over the bath. Using a slip proof
bath mat will increase safety when using the bath
board.

Using the bath board

Stand at the side of the bath with your back towards
the bath board and lower yourself onto the end of the
board. Move back towards the centre of the board
and lift your legs one at a time over the bath side and
into the bath. Finally position yourself so that you are
sitting centrally on the bath board.

Grab rails are recommended for users who are
experiencing difficulties positioning themselves on the
bath board.
