GB-MANUAL

Thank you for your confidence in our product. Please follow the installation procedures carefully, and one step at a time. This grab bar is intended to provide maneuvering assistance and stability only, and should not be utilized to support the entire weight of a person. Failure to properly adhere to these instructions may result in serious or fatal injury.

ATTENTION: Please read this entire installation manual before marking or drilling into your wall to avoid causing unnecessary blemishes to the wall surface. The grab bar MUST the studs to ensure a safe and secure fastening. If you are unable to positively determine the exact location of the studs, please consult the advice of a local building contractor for assistance.

ITEMS INCLUDED: Six (6) Mounting Screws

TOOLS REQUIRED: Safety Glasses, Stud Finder, Pencil, Phillips

Screwdriver, Electric Drill, Wood and/or Ceramic Drill Bits.

1. Carefully establish the desired mounting location. Choose a

mounting orientation (Diagonal, Vertical, or Horizontal), which provides the greatest contact with the wall studs that are being used for mounting.

be mounted into

3. If mounting the grab bar to ceramic tile, first drill holes into the

TILE ONLY that are slightly larger then the threads on the screws, without drilling into the studs. (This will help prevent the mounting screws from cracking the tile when they are being tightened.) When drilling, apply light, steady pressure to avoid cracking the tile. Next, drill the mounting holes into the studs, while using a drill bit that is slightly smaller then the screw threads. This will allow the screw to have a good grip into the wood studs.

NOTE: If mounting to a surface that will be in direct contact with water, it is advisable to apply a sufficient quantity of silicone caulk around (and inside) each mounting hole, to prevent water entry into the wall cavity.

4. With all of the holes drilled, start all screws in their holes before

tightening any one screw all the way in. Gradually tighten all screws, stopping just prior to being snug. This will allow for minor re-positioning during final tightening. Once the grab bar is in its final position, firmly tighten all screws so that both mounting flanges are securely mated to the wall surface.

5. Once the grab bar is securely mounted to the wall, press the

decorative trim plates onto each mounting flange, also using a slight turning motion to fully seat the cover to the wall surface.

GRAB BAR CLEANING: The grab bar handle should be kept clean to ensure a reliable gripping surface. Please use only mild soap and water for cleaning, and do not apply any harsh cleaning chemicals, such as chlorine bleach or acids.

2. Precisely mark the wall for all mounting holes being used, making

sure that at least TWO (2) screws in each mounting flange will securely contact a wood stud within the wall.

Each mounting flange has a highly versatile hole pattern, which can assist greatly when confronted with wall stud spacing that is different than the standard 16 inch spacing. Please select and use a combination of mounting holes that will secure each flange with evenly distributed per flange, these screws shall NOT be installed adjacent to each other in the same area, leaving the opposite side of that flange unsecured. Please refer to the flange shown, and use the following hole pairings as a guide for hole selection:
