Q: Can the Deltis Bath lift be used with the back facing the faucet end of the tub? - Madeline

A: The Deltis Bath lift will operate in any end of the tub. The right and left transfer flaps  provide a universal fit, so you will be able to turn the bath lift around to either end of the tub.

The recline of the bath lift is controlled by the user, in a shorter tub with a recline in the back, you will be able to install it in the faucet end of the tub for additional legroom. Also, you may to need to install the bath lift in the facet end if a commode prevents entry and exit from the bath lift.

You will need to pull the bath lift slightly forward of the drain to ensure the bath lift does not interfer with the drain.

Q: What does the side flaps on the bath lift do once the chair is in a down in the tub mode? Do they flip up or stay extended?

A: The transfer flaps of the bath lift are hinged and will flip up as you lower the chair down. They gently ride along the sides of the tub as the lift lowers. When the lift is raised they will ride along the sides of the tub, when the lift reaches the top of the tub, the transfer flaps flatten out on the entry/ exit side of the tub to cover the gap between the bath lift and the edge of the bath tub. It is now unusual for the transfer flap on the wall side of the tub to remain in an angled position.

Q; My Archimedes Bath Lift will raise but not lower, what could be wrong ? - Pam

A: Archimedes Hand Control Troubleshooting

The hand control is a completely sealed unit containing a rechargeable battery and battery state indicator light; it contains no user serviceable parts. DO NOT attempt to open. 

Battery State Indicator

When either the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ buttons are pressed, the indicator light shows the state of the battery as follows:

GREEN - OK to use.

FLASHING GREEN - OK to use but the battery needs to

be recharged after this bath.

RED - The battery needs recharging before use. The seat

will not lower. 

NOTE: The microprocessor in the hand control will not allow the seat to be lowered if it detects that there will not be enough battery power to raise it again. The battery is not replaceable. When it reaches the end of its working life, indicated by failure to accept or retain charge (frequently showing red on the battery state indicator), the complete hand control will need to be replaced with a new one. DO NOT dispose of the hand control with your normal household trash. Batteries should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
