MANATEE
Congratulations on your new Manatee bathing chair.
In choosing the Manatee, we are sure that you have got a bathing chair,
which will live up to any expectations one can have for a modern aid for
children. The Manatee is designed to be used in bathrooms, in which the
child can not ever be left alone.
The Manatee is a bathing chair for children between 1 and 11 years with
a lesser handicap. The Manatee is constructed to provide both caregivers
and users a wonderful bathing experience. The bathing chair is designed
to place the user in exactly the right sitting position. The depth of the seat
can be adjusted, allowing the bathing chair to "grow" with the child and
provide many years of use. The adjustments and accessories are logically
positioned, affording the caregiver proper working conditions.
This user manual is meant as a guide to assist the user in gaining the full
benefit of the many options offered by the Manatee. Therefore we recommend you to go through this manual before the Manatee is put into use.
