Safety Summary
To ensure the safe and proper installation of the tub bars, these instructions MUST be
followed:
WARNING
DO NOT install this equipment without first reading and understanding this
instruction sheet. If you are unable to understand the warnings, cautions and
instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or technical personnel if
applicable, before attempting to install this equipment - otherwise, injury or
damage may occur.
ALWAYS check the tub bar for proper tightness before using.
The tub bar provides support and increases stability for an individual weighing up to
250 lbs (114 kg). The tub bar is not designed to support the total weight of an
individual. Use the tub bar for assistance only.
Hold the tub bar securely when entering or exiting the bath tub.
DO NOT use the upper gripping position (handle) of the tub bar when lowering or
raising yourself into or out of the bathtub. The upper gripping position (handle) is
NOT designed to support an individual's total weight. Pushing or pulling the upper
gripping position (handle) in a sideways motion will loosen the tub bar from its
secured position and may cause injury.
Apply downward force on the lower gripping position only when lowering or raising
yourself into or out of the bathtub.
Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction
with Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not
been tested by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.
INSTALLATION WARNING
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure that all attaching
component parts are secure.
Bathtub construction varies and this product may not be appropriate for use on all
bathtub styles. Bathtubs with sloped inner walls may not provide the tub bar sufficient holding ability. Given this condition the assembly can become dislodged during
use. After installation, verify that the device holds as expected. ALWAYS verify that
the device is secure prior to use.
