damage and/or wear and tear.

· Remove from use immediately if
there are signs of wear or
damage or if you cannot
achieve a firm, secure fitting in
the bath.

Cleaning

· Suitable to withstand industrial
cleaning up to 80º C or wipe
clean with a soft cloth,

solution or cream cleaner.

before storage or re-fitting.

· Do not use abrasive cleaners or
cloths to clean or dry any
surfaces

12” (300mm) versions

1. It is recommended that the safest
way to use the 12” Bath Seat is
to use the same method as for
the 6”/8” Bath Seat left (stages 1-

4).

2. Reverse the procedure for
getting out again.

Please note, this method is only
recommended in situations where the
top of the bath seat is level with the
top of the bath. In other cases, the
user should step into the bath (where
appropriate) and sit down onto the
seat, possibly using a grab rail.

Intended Use

The NRS Slatted Bath Seat is designed
to provide a safe seat for use when
bathing. It can be used on its own or in
conjunction with NRS Slatted Bath or
Shower Boards to assist the user in
and out of the bath.

The slatted bath seat is not suitable for
use on textured/dimpled bath surfaces.

Prior to fitting, please ensure:

190kg (30 stones) weight limit

· The bath surface is clean, dry and
free from oil or soap residue.

· The correct size of bath seat has
been selected for the client.

· Do not stand on the seat.

· Always ensure that the sucker feet

are secure before bathing
commences.

Safe Use of the Slatted Bath Seat

6”(150mm) / 8”(200mm) versions

It is recommended that the 6” and 8”
Bath Seats are used in conjunction with
a Bath Board, for optimum safety. The
recommended safe method of using a
Bath Board and Seat together is as
follows:

1. Start with your feet flat on the floor
and your back to the bath

2. Step backwards until you can feel
the edge of the bath against the
back of your legs

3. Sit on the board and move your
bottom back towards the middle of
the bath board

4. Lift your legs one at a time over the
bath edge, into the bath

5. Move your bottom across the
board until you are seated in a
central position. You may need to
use your arms to ‘lift’ your bottom
and move sideways in small stages

You are now ready to use your arms to
lower yourself down on to the Bath
Seat

Reverse the procedure for getting out
again.
