operation:

Shower seat can be folded up against the wall when not in use. The spring at the top of baseplate locks seat into this upright
position until released by pulling the top of seat away from wall. Support system with guide bracket allows varying mounting
heights and leaves floor clear for easier cleaning. Bobrick shower seats when properly installed, have sufficient strength to
support 360 lbs., (16 kg) complying with barrier-free accessibility guidelines (including ADAAG in the U.S.A.) for structural
strength.

installation:

Secure unit to wall at points indicated by an S, with the two mounting flanges located at top and the baseplate and guide bracket
below. The bottom of support bracket must be positioned between the baseplate and guide bracket before they are secured to
wall. Mounting height of shower seat must comply with local building codes.

For stud walls, provide concealed backing to comply with local building codes and secure with #14 x 2-1/2" (6.3 x 65mm)
stainless steel sheet-metal screws furnished by manufacturer.

For prefabricated shower stalls, provided adequate backing by the shower stall manufacturer. Secure with #14 x 2-1/2" (6.3 x
65mm) stainless steel mounting screws furnished by manufacturer.

For masonry walls, provide fiber plugs or expansion shields for use with furnished screws, or provide 1/4" (6mm) toggle bolts
or expansion bolts.

Caution: These shower seats are no stronger than the anchors and walls to which they are attached and, therefore,
must be firmly secured in order to support the loads for which they are intended. Consult and comply with local
building codes.
