Assembly [Cont.'d]:

The following minimum tools are required:

•

1/8” Allen Wrench (supplied in hardware bag)

•

Floor fastener installation tools [to be determined by
installation personnel]

Post Assemblies to Floor [Figure 2]

Note: Each Post Assembly ships preassembled, with Inner
Post and Plunger [Figure 3, page 11] already installed. It is

not necessary to separate these parts. Ensure Plungers are
screwed tightly into Posts and fully engaged in lowest

position before beginning installation.

Caution: Never install this product over any type of soft
floor covering, such as carpet. Floor fasteners must
anchor into subfloor materials and can pass through
floor tile or other solid floor coverings only. Failure to
solidly anchor the unit may result in unsafe and
unreliable operation.

Determine permanent location for floor installation using
layout in Figure 2 and Table 1 [opposite page]. Determine the
desired distance for Dimension “A” using the following guide
lines:

•

“A” is 32” for standard use, width adjusts 19” to 25”.

•

“A” is 33” for wheelchair access, width adjusts 20” to 26”.

•

“A” is 36” for powered wheelchair access, width adjusts
23” to 29”.

Refer to Figure 2, page 8, for measured distances between
Base Plates, in inches.

These dimensions are for reference only, and apply to
maximum average width of applicable adult wheelchairs that
comply with ANSI/RESNA measurement methods.

Assembly [Cont.'d]:

Post Assemblies to Floor [Figure 2]

Install proper floor fasteners according to manufacturers
instructions and mount the Post Assemblies to the floor,
Plungers facing outwards. Do not tighten these Posts

down completely at this time. They must be able to
move.

:

Install Width Adjusters [Figure 3 on page 10]:

Slide each Width Adjuster through the top of an Inner Post,
with the adjustment stop “dimples” facing down.

Install and tighten all six (6) Width Adjustment Knobs on last
inside adjustment stop. Install four (6) Rubber Tips onto the
ends of the Width Adjusters.

Install Handrails:

Ensure that all Posts are adjusted to minimum height, and
that all Plungers are fully engaged. Check the Setscrews
[Figure 3, page 10] in each Width Adjuster. They must be
loose enough to allow the Handrails to pass through.

Insert a Handrail through all Width Adjusters on each side,
until there is approximately 18” of Handrail at each end.
Tighten all six (6) Setscrews. Do not overtighten! Install four
(4) Rubber Tips onto the ends of the Handrails.

After both Handrails are installed and tightened, and with all
Posts and Plungers fully engaged at minimum height, tighten
all floor mounting fasteners.

Assembly [cont’d.]:

Floor Mount Final Assembly and Check:

After all Posts are secure to the floor, raise and lower each
side, checking for full Plunger engagement in each
adjustment hole. If for any reason a Plunger does not fully
engage, loosen floor mounts and move Base Post slightly
until Plunger engages. All Plungers should be fully
tightened in posts. Lower Handrails completely and
retighten floor mounts.

Safety:

Be safe! Never attempt to install, assemble, or adjust the
product yourself. Always use at least two people to adjust
the height. Avoid locating against walls or in contact with
other equipment in order to eliminate pinch points. Always
observe Static Load Ratings as stated on page 4.

Operation:

To adjust height, pull back on Plungers for all Posts
simultaneously on one side, and raise or lower to desired
height. Release Plungers to engage holes.

Note: Both Post Plungers on either side must be
adjusted to same height. Ensure all Plungers are fully
engaged before using Parallel Bars.

To adjust Handrail width, loosen Width Adjustment Knobs
and slide Handrail to desired position. Tighten Knobs until
Handrails are secure. Do not overtighten!

Troubleshooting:

Your new Bailey Parallel Bars will provide years of reliable
service. In the event the Bars do not function correctly,
inspect all Plungers for tightness. Ensure all Post Inserts are
present and in good condition.

•

Sticking or difficult to engage height adjustment is
frequently remedied by performing the Base Post
loosening and retightening sequence described in the
Final Assembly and Check sections.

•

If, after readjustment, the Plungers do not function
correctly, inspect the black plastic post inserts. Replace
any cracked, damaged or missing inserts [contact factory
for replacement parts and procedures].

•

If all inserts are present and in good condition, inspect the
Plunger Assembly. It may be worn and need
replacement.

For detailed information regarding component replacement,
contact Bailey Customer Service at the number on this page.

Have your date of purchase and Bailey Dealer
information handy for faster service.

Maintenance & Cleaning:

Regularly inspect components for wear and proper
adjustment. Should the unit need attention, remove from
service until the unit is returned to its original condition. A
convenient Inspection and Service Logsheet is provided on
page 15 for recordkeeping.

To help keep your product in good condition, clean as
required using abrasive free and solvent free products. Test
any cleaner or disinfectant on a small, inconspicuous location
before using. Discontinue use if surface discolors or
scratches.

Never use any cleaners or disinfectants containing solvents
or abrasives on product surfaces. Check the Material Safety
Data Sheet and consult the manufacturer with any questions.
Some chemicals will severely shorten the life of your plastic
parts and chrome plated or lacquer coated finishes.

For light soiling, we recommend liquid dish soap and water,
or liquid cleanser and water applied sparingly with a soft
bristle brush. For difficult stains or disinfection, use a solution
of 10% household bleach [sodium hypochlorite] and 90%
water applied sparingly with a soft white cloth. Rinse with
water dampened cloth to remove any remaining soap,
cleanser or bleach solution.
