WARNINGS (Risk of possible injury or other serious adverse
reactions)

• Ensure that you feel completely confident to use the Bath Cushion either on

your own or with assistance if required. You may be at risk of drowning or
injury if you are uncertain or not confident in using the Bath Cushion or if a
medical condition prevents you from using the Bath Cushion as laid out in
these instructions. If you have any concerns about an existing medical
condition affecting your ability to safely operate the Bath Cushion, consult a
health professional.

• If you feel you may require assistance when using the Bath Cushion it is

advisable that a method of summoning adequate assistance should be
available.

• Do not use the Bath Cushion if under the influence of alcohol or if taking

medication which may affect your ability to exercise judgment, coordination
or motor control.

• The Bath Cushion should only be used as a bathing aid, NEVER use it out of a

bath. NEVER use the Bath Cushion to climb in or out of the bath. NEVER use
it as a step, stand or as a seating device outside of the bath.

• Do not use the Bath Cushion as a support to steady yourself when cleaning

the bath or when reaching into the bath to retrieve items, as doing so may
place an uneven or unbalanced load on the Bath Cushion causing it to become
unstable.

• The Bath Cushion should only be used for its stated purpose and should not

be modified in any way.

• To avoid personal injury during use and/or damage to the equipment, keep

animals away from the Bath Cushion.

• Before each use, ensure that there are no obvious signs of damage or loose

suction cups. If in doubt, do not use and seek advice from your supplier or
manufacturer.

•

To ensure full stability when in use, make sure that the Bath Cushion is
centred in the bath and the backrest touches the rear of the bath when fully
inflated. The suction cup tabs attached to the backrest should be secured to
the rear of the bath.

•

Remove any non-slip mats from the area where the suction cups will be
positioned.

•

Ensure that any oil and soap residue is removed from the Bath Cushion and
bath. Pay particular attention to the suction cups and floor of the bath.
Ensure that the suction cups adhere firmly to the bath before each use. The
suction cups may not adhere to the surface in baths that have been re­enamelled or have rippled or textured surfaces. Do not use if the suction cups
do not adhere to the bath.

•

The suction cups contain Latex. Users with an allergy to Latex should take
particular care to avoid prolonged contact with the suction cups. The suction
cups are situated at the base and rear of the seat and are not normally in
direct contact with the user during use.

•

It is not advised to allow children under the age of 3 to use the Bath Cushion
and any children are bathing with the Bath Cushion present should be
supervised by an adult.

CAUTIONS (Risk of possible problems including device
malfunctions, device failure, damage to the device or
damage to other property)

• To prevent damage, always release the suction under each suction cup before

lifting the Bath Cushion from the bath. Do not attempt to release the suction
by pulling up on the seat, backrest or ‘tab’.

• Never use hot air to dry the Bath Cushion following cleaning as this may affect

the integrity of the welded seams and fabric, and lead to premature failure
of the cushion.

• Do not use bath additives containing peanut oil as this can damage the

suction cups. If such additives have been used, ensure that the suction cups
are thoroughly washed and rinsed to remove residues.
