SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

CAUTION: It is your responsibility to see that your e2™ Ceiling Mount

Trapeze is properly assembled, installed, and cared for. Failure to follow instructions in this document could result in serious injury.

e2™ CEILING MOUNT TRAPEZE INSTALLATION / MAINTENANCE

The e2™ Ceiling Mount Trapeze should only be used in locations where the ceiling surfaces are structurally sound. Recommended weight limit is 300 lbs. No more than 150 lbs should be exerted on trapeze handle (sitting up assistance only). If you are not equipped to undertake the outlined work, we would recommend that you have your e2™ Ceiling Mount Trapeze installed by a qualified contractor. Inspect, or have inspected (and tighten if neccessary) the screws on a monthly basis.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DETERMINE LOCATION OF GRAB BAR

Refer to Figure 1. The actual user of the e2™ trapeze should lie down in bed in their normal resting position with their hands placed palms down on their thighs. The grab bar will be mounted such that the strap hangs directly down over the palms of the user as shown by "X". Hold the trapeze handle under where the grab bar will go, with the upper rail of the handle closest to the head of the bed. Ensure that the trapeze handle is not too close to allow a comfortable sit up action.

The grab bar should also be installed so that it extends from the centre of where the user will lie down to an area that they can slide the trapeze when not in use, as shown in "Z" in Figure 1.

GRAB BAR INSTALLATION

Once the location is determined, mark the hole placement on ceiling. It is necessary that both grab bar flanges are secured to joists in the ceiling as shown below. In cases where this may not be possible (i.e. one joist only), specialized fasteners must be used.

e2 TRAPEZE HANDLE INSTALLATION

Open the loop on the end of the trapeze strap, rotate the strap 180 degrees, and slide it on to the upper rail of the trapeze handle as shown in Figure 2. Slide it past the grip and along the trapeze tube until it reaches the top bend of the trapeze.

SETTING HEIGHT OF TRAPEZE HANDLE

1. Adjust the length of the strap to set the appropriate height of the

trapeze (when ones fingers can comfortably grasp around the bottom rail of the trapeze when lying down in bed as shown by "Y" in Figure

1. This is done by pulling some slack through the cross pieces of the strap buckle and pulling the buckle down to shorten the strap, or sliding it up to lengthen the strap.

STRAP SLIDER INSTALLATION

Hook the strap slider to the ceiling grab bar with the open side facing the foot of the bed, as shown in Figure 1.
