Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION
NOTE: When installing a leg-supported seat, the guide bracket is not required. The two
upper mounting brackets are centered on the 2" x 6" blocking with the four legs sitting
firmly on the floor. All four legs have adjustable feet with lock nuts. Adjust the front two
feet to achieve an approximate 2° – 3° rise at the front. Once adjusted, tighten the lock
nut to prevent future slipping.
STEP 1:
Locate the desired seat position making sure that the top of the seat is
between 17" – 19" from the finished floor. When measuring, the seat must be in
the down, usable position. With a 24" level check from side-to-side and front-
to-back to ensure that the seat is level. A slight 2° – 3° rise on the seat from the
back wall to the front of the seat is recommended.
STEP 2:
Use a pencil and mark the three screw holes from both upper mounting brackets.
Then mark the three holes from the guide bracket. Be careful of its position, the
bottom screw of the guide bracket needs to be centered on the middle wall stud
with the two top screws fastened to the 2" x 6". (as shown in Fig. 2)
STEP 3:
Remove the seat. In each of your marked locations, drill
1

4
" clearance holes through
the tile only. Then drill
3
/
16
" pilot holes through the header board and attach the
seat using
1
/
4
" x 3" stainless steel lag screws and fender washers. Use a generous
amount of silicone caulk to prevent water seepage into the mounting holes.
STEP 4:
Make sure the seat raises and lowers smoothly. If installed correctly, the seat will
remain in the “up” position by itself and will take little effort to lower it.
