More Details

* The Myco Swivel Bather has two parts: a base frame that rests on the bath and a seat unit that rotates on the base. The two parts separate easily for handling and storage. Each part weighs 3.2kg.

* The seating unit has a plastic seat which is easy to clean and drainage holes sized for safety. The base frame has plastic ends and positioning screws to prevent movement.

* The locking lever is located on the right hand side of the seat unit and locks in both the transfer and bathing positions.

* Seats with a left hand locking lever can be manufactured to order.

* The Swivel Bather fits on any standard bath, no fixtures or fittings are required and the unit is easily removed when not required. Critical turning components (the base plate and swivel pin) are stainless steel on all models, which ensures long-term reliability without the need for servicing or lubrication.

* Weight limit up to 127kg.

Considerations

Screws on base with rubber tips are not meant to make contact with the sides of the bath. There should be approx a 5mm gap so the sides of the bath will not be damaged if a heavy person sits on the seat. Should the seat move too far sideways, these screws act as stoppers to prevent the seat from falling off the bath.

Place Of Manufacture

China and Taiwan
