grab bar installation instructions

RTL13083

Easily and securely attached without drilling.

Provides security and the convenience of mobility.

Won’t rust or corrode.

Drive Medical Suction Grab Bars are convenient, func­tional, and offered in a variety of sizes to fit any lifestyle.
They can be attached quickly and are just as easily
removed! The suction pads are specifically designed to
adhere to any smooth, non-porous surface without drill­ing! Push down on the vacuum toggle lever and the
handles will remain securely in place.

CAUTION

Grab bar is to be used as a balance assist only. Not for
supporting body weight. Always make sure the grab bar
is securely attached before each use and always reat­tach if loose.

Always test the holding grip on each surface each time
you apply the suction pad to prevent accidents.

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 grout lines or joints.

INCORRECT CORRECT

5. First, press down one tilting lever and then press
down the second. The resistance of the suction
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 top of the suction cup will change
from RED to GREEN when a safe and secure hold
is achieved. If you use the bar regularly, then you
will get a feel for the vacuum strength and the
suction power generated.

SECURE REAFFIX

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