WARNING
SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product.
Check all parts for shipping damage before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use the equipment. Contact the ICCG dealer for further instructions.
Installation
ICCG assumes no responsibility for code infractions or damage to components due to improper installation.
Use extreme care during installation.
The installation area MUST be able to support the 66 pounds per square inch load capacity of the Supine Tub.
After installation and before use ensure all parts are properly and securely installed.
Ensure bathroom floor is dry and free of obstructions before transporting or assembling unit.
Be certain ALL electrical work is performed by a qualified electrician and is in compliance with local electrical codes.
Electrical
Grounding Instructions
Model IH6300 Supine Tub MUST be direct wired to wall using hot, neutral and ground wires in accordance with the National Electrical Code. External wiring MUST be grounded through a 15 amp breaker and GFCI receptacle.
Model IH6300ADH Supine Tub MUST be plugged into a hospital grade GFCI receptacle with a 15 AMP breaker.
Plumbing
Be certain ALL plumbing work is performed by a qualified plumber.
Some state and local plumbing codes require the installation of a ???reduced pressure zone??? (RPZ) assembly on both the incoming hot and cold supply lines to prevent back flow contamination into the potable water system. Invacare recommends you check local plumbing code requirements to determine if RPZs are required on your tub installation. RPZs are NOT supplied by Invacare and are to be provided by the customer if required.
The hot water supply to the tub MUST NOT exceed 110?? F (43?? C) to protect the user from scalding.
SECTION
When operating water pressure exceeds 55 p.s.i., pressure regulators (similar to the ?????inch Watts U5) MUST be installed.
Maintenance and Inspection
If any part of the system is NOT functioning properly, DO NOT use the system. Have the system serviced to correct the problem.
The system MUST be maintained on a regular basis to ensure it is functioning properly.
Electrical Shock Hazard
All disassembly and maintenance of the tub MUST be done by a qualified technician, certified electrician or plumber. Disconnect electrical supply or turn Off circuit breaker before performing any maintenance to the tub.
Disinfecting
Disinfect the tub after initial set up and ALWAYS disinfect the tub AFTER each use to avoid resident infection and contamination of the tub.
DO NOT disinfect the tub when it is occupied otherwise injury may occur.
ALWAYS wear gloves, protective apron, and face shield protection when disinfecting or cleaning your tub.
ALWAYS handle disinfectants, cleaning compounds, and powdered sanitizers with extreme care. Physical or mechanical damage caused by improper handling or usage of such products will not be the responsibility of ICCG.
DO NOT attempt to turn on whirlpool pump during the disinfectant cycle. Doing so could result in skin or eye contact with the disinfectant, which is corrosive. If contact is made, rinse IMMEDIATELY with water. If irritation occurs, consult a physician.
ALWAYS read and follow disinfectant label directions carefully.
NEVER use abrasive cleaners like scouring powder or liquid cleaners containing pumice stone. The use of these types of cleaners will make the gel???coat finish of your tub scratched and dull. NEVER use cleaners containing iodine, bromine, Betadine?? or methylene blue. The use of these types of cleaners will cause the tub to stain. Never use cleaners containing bleach. Use of these types of cleaners will dry out the rubber seals and gaskets and the tub will not function properly.
Operation
DANGER
Keep hair and body away from suction guard when pump is running.
SECTION
The Supine Tub is specifically designed to be used with a bath lift. ICCG recommends use of the Traverse Lift Model 1200 ONLY. Bath lifts designed by other manufacturers are NOT to be utilized with the Supine Tub. Use of these products is prohibited and will void ICCG???s Supine Tub warranty. Use ONLY Traverse Lift Model 1200 to maintain resident safety and product utility. Refer to the lift owner???s manual for complete life operating and safety instructions.
NEVER operate whirlpool without water level above the whirlpool jets. Severe pump damage will result.
DO NOT operate this unit without the guard over the (water intake) suction fitting. The guard is a safety device that reduces the potential hazard of hair or body entrapment.
To reduce the risk of injury, DO NOT permit children or infirm persons to use this unit unless they are supervised at all times.
Recommended length of a bath is 5 to 10 minutes. However, if you become nauseous or dizzy or develop a headache, get out at once and cool down. Get medical attention if symptoms persist. Also, check with a physician before using this unit again.
Anyone under a doctor??s supervision, pregnant, or with poor health, should check with a physician before using this unit.
DO NOT use directly after eating or while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

WARNING
Disinfect the tub after EACH use to avoid resident infection and contamination of the tub. DO NOT disinfect the tub when it is occupied otherwise injury may occur.
Read and understand all information on Invacare brand disinfectant before use.
ALWAYS wear rubber gloves, an apron and a face shield when using disinfectant. In case of eye or skin contact, follow procedures on disinfectant container.
The disinfectant dispensing system has been factory tested and calibrated for use with Invacare disinfectant. The use of any disinfectant with a dilution ratio (?? oz. per gallon) or viscosity level different than that of Invacare disinfectant will result in an improper mixture of disinfectant and water. This may cause your system to be improperly disinfected - or in some instances, not disinfected at all. If using any disinfectant with a dilution ratio or viscosity level different than that of Invacare disinfectant or if switching from one type of disinfectant to another type, the disinfectant flowmeter MUST be calibrated before performing this procedure. Refer to Calibrating the Disinfectant Flowmeter on page 28.
DO NOT use the disinfectant wand for showering. The disinfectant wand is to be used for disinfecting ONLY.
CAUTION
NEVER use abrasive cleaners like scouring powder or liquid cleaners containing pumice stone. The use of these types of cleaners will make the
Disinfecting the Tub Using the Closed Loop System

Before starting the whirlpool pump, the water level must be completely above the whirlpool jets. Otherwise damage to the motor/pump will result.
In addition to disinfecting your tub after every use, you will need to perform this procedure approximately once every 80???150 baths.
1.Clean the entire surface of the tub to remove visible tissue residue and fluid.
2.Rinse the inside surface of the tub with the shower/massage wand on the spray setting.
3.Rotate the water temperature valve to adjust the water temperature to 105o F.
NOTE: This will maximize the cleaning solution??s ability to clean and disinfect the system.
4.Close the drain.
5.Make sure the whirlpool jets are open.
NOTE: The required amount of water to cover the whirlpool jets is 50 gallons.
6. Fill the tub above the whirlpool jets.
NOTE: The required amount of Invacare Heavy Duty Cleaner is 200 ounces.
7.Add the Invacare Heavy Duty Cleaner to the water in the tub.
8.Spray pre???mixed Invacare Heavy Duty Cleaner on the remaining surfaces.
9.Press the whirlpool on/off button to turn on the whirlpool pump and let the pump run for 60 seconds.
10.Turn off the pump and allow the heavy duty cleaner/water solution to remain in the tub for 10 minutes.
11.During this ten???minute waiting time, take a long handled brush and thoroughly scrub all interior surfaces of the tub.
12.Open the drain to allow the heavy duty/water solution to drain from the tub.
13.Use the shower/massage wand on the pulse setting and direct the spray into both whirlpool jets to back flush until the water discharging from the whirlpool inlet is clear.
14.Rinse the tub thoroughly with the shower wand on the spray setting.
15.Check the tub for damage and to ensure all surfaces of the tub are clean and that no visible residuals remain. If residuals are found, repeat STEPS 13 and 14.
