the button at any point will stop the seat.

• Lift out the actuator.
• Lift the suction cup release handle at the back of the
base section (B fig.11) and tilt the base forwards.
• Continue tilting the base forwards. This will
automatically release the suction on the front suction
cups and the base section can then be lifted from the
bath. NOTE: DO NOT use the suction cup release
handle (B) to tilt or lift the base section. NEVER
attempt to release suction on the rear suction cups
by pulling on the guide bars.
