Installation Instructions
Check the vacuum suction discs and the surface it is to be attached to.
Clean the surface thoroughly.
Press the rubber discs firmly to the surface. The tilting vacuum levers must be loose at this point and the whole of each rubber disc must lie on the surface.
Ensure the rubber discs are completely on the area so that the discs don't cover any grouting lines or other joints. The discs should be positioned at least 1/2" away from all joints.
First press down one tilting lever and then the second. The resistance of the negative pressure generated must be clearly felt. The greater the resistance felt on the vacuum lever, the better the suction power of the grab bar. The indicator on the side of the suction cup will change from RED to GREEN when a safe hold is achieved.
Before each use, test the firm hold of the suction device, making sure that both indicators are GREEN. If the adhesion seems insufficient, release the rail and reattach it.
The grab bar can be adjusted by releasing the middle suction cup and one of the suction cup ends and rotating it to the desired position. Once this has been achieved, repeat steps 4 and 5 for both suction cups.
Caution: Please be aware that the grab bar is to be used as a balance assist only. The bar is not for body weight leverage.
