to any smooth, pore-tight surface without drilling! Push

remain securely in place.

installation instructions

1. Check the vacuum suction discs and the surface it
is to be attached to.

2. Clean the surface thoroughly.

3. 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.

4. Ensure that the rubber discs are completely on the
tile area or other surfaces so that the discs do
not cover any grouting lines or other joints. The
discs should be positioned at least 1/2” away
from all joints.

5. 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 and secure hold is achieved.
If you use the bar regularly, you will get a feel for
the vacuum strength and the suction power
generated.

6. Before each use, test the firm hold of the suction
device making sure both indicators are GREEN.
If the adhesion seems insufficient, release the rail
and reattach again. If the required suction power
has not been achieved, the rail should not be used.

7. Item # 13084-3 can easily be adjusted by releasing
the middle suction cup and one end suction cup
and rotating to the desired position. Once the
desired position is achieved (making sure the
suction cups do not cover any grouting lines or
joints), repeat Step 5 for both suction cups.
