Operation

Control

Important!
●
Only use the battery supplied.
●
If the battery does not have enough charge,
the red battery pilot light goes on (2,
fig. 10). In this case, the lowering function is
disabled. However, you can still raise the
lift. Recharge the battery immediately after
you have raised it.
●
The hand control device may only be used
when the backrest is properly mounted and
in upright position.
●
If you let go of the button, the lift stops in-
stantly in its position.
You use the hand control (fig. 10) for controlling the
bathlift.
