INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
SAFETY WARNINGS:
• DO NOT install this equipment without first reading and understanding this instruction sheet. If you are unable to understand these
Warnings and Instructions, contact a health care professional, dealer or technical personnel for assistance before attempting to install
this equipment - otherwise, injury may occur.
• After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure that all attaching hardware is tightened securely.
• Grab Bars add security for bath and commode areas if attached as instructed. Location, size, and angle of bars should be determined
by a qualified professional to provide optimum safety and function.
• Use EXTREME caution on wet tub or floor surfaces.
• Users with limited physical capabilities should be supervised or assisted in bath and commode areas, even when using the
Grab Bars.
• This Grab Bar can provide support and increased stability for an individual weighing up to 500 pounds. Grab Bars are NOT designed
to support the total weight of an individual. Use the bar for assistance ONLY.
• Be sure Grab Bars are correctly and securely installed. NEVER use Grab Bars if any looseness is noted.
TOOLS REQUIRED:
• 3/8-inch Power Drill
• 7/64-inch Drill Bit (to drill pilot hole for installation of wood screw into wood wall stud)
• 1/4-inch Carbide Tip Drill Bit (if drilling through ceramic tile)
• #2 Phillips Screwdriver
• Safety Glasses

The recommended mounting method for grab bars is to mount BOTH ends of the bar into WOOD wall studs.
BEFORE INSTALLING GRAB BAR:
1. Remove the Grab Bar and parts from the package. If concealed mount Grab Bar is used, move cover plates away from
mounting holes (see Figure 1).
2. Determine where you want to install Grab Bar.
3. Place Grab Bar on wall at desired position. If mounting horizontally or vertically, check that the Grab Bar is level.
4. With a pencil, mark the centers of the mounting hole positions on one end. These are the points where you will later drill pilot
holes for putting in the screws. If installing over ceramic tiles, place masking tape on the mounting areas before marking the
hole locations to prevent the carbide tip drill bit from sliding across the tile.
5. Repeat Step 4 for the other end of the Grab Bar.
