Secure Grab Bar

CAUTION! Improper installation can prevent smooth operation of the grab bar and

can cause damage to locking pins and ﬂanges. Use shims, if necessary, to

achieve a parallel relationship between the grab bar and the wall.

Position the grab bar so that both flanges

are aligned with their mounting holes.

If wall and floor ARE perpendicular, install

4 hex-head screws to secure the wall

flange to the wall.

If wall and floor ARE NOT perpendicular,

install 4 hex-head screws to secure the

flange that is not being shimmed to it's

mounting surface.

If the grab bar does not move freely when

rotated, place shims under the unsecured

flange and rotate the grab bar again to check

for binding. If there is still binding, add more

shims.

If the grab bar moves freely when rotated,

install 4 hex-head screws to secure the flange

to it's mounting surface.

Hold the unsecured flange flush against it's

mounting surface and rotate the grab bar

between the support and open positions

several times. When rotated, locking pins

should move freely between the deep and

shallow notches on the flanges without

binding.

Operation

The swing-away grab bar can be rotated to a support (locked) position and an open position. To place the grab bar in the:

• support position, rotate the grab bar forward until the locking pins on the grab bar fit into the deep notches on the wall and

floor flanges.

• open position, rotate the grab bar backward until the locking pins rest in the shallow notches on the wall and floor flanges.

Grab Bar Maintenance

All screws and mounting anchors should be checked to ensure that they are securely mounted to the wall every 6 months. If

the swing-away grab bar is being used in a rehabilitation center or in an area with a high frequency of use, screws and anchors

should be checked monthly.

Using a square, make sure the wall and

floor are perpendicular and true.
