4. Fixing the Shower Seat
Choose a suitable fixing for the substrate that you intend to fix the shower seat to and secure the back plate of the
shower seat to the substrate Make sure that the fixing is secure before allowing it to be used.
5. Testing the Shower Seat
Once you have installed the shower seat check your installation and the movement of the shower seat by raising the
set from the down position to the up position.
•
Check that there are no obstruction
•
Check that the movement of the seat is smooth and unhindered
•
Check that the seat legs (if applicable) are sitting evenly on the floor
6. Raising and Lowering the Shower Seat
To raise your seat, simply lift the front of the seat and the legs will automatically fold inwards towards the wall.
Reverse the action to lower.
7. Folding Action
If required, your shower seat can be folded up when not in use. The seat is held in position by friction only.
Once you have installed the seat, check that there is sufficient friction to keep the seat in the upright position when
required.
If the seat starts to descend, then you will need to tighten the bolts either side of the seat hinges. This operation
should be sufficient to maintain the seat in the closed position.
Additionally, it will be necessary for the bolts to be tightened periodically, if the seat starts to open on its own accord.
8. Threaded Leg Adjustment
Your shower seat may have special threaded leg adjustment as opposed to the standard extension leg.
To adjust the height of your seat, carefully open the stainless steel M10 locking nut and undo the threaded stem to
the desired height. On no account exceed a finished height of 470 mm measured from the top of the seat to the
bottom of the black circular foot, as this may compromise the safety of the user.
Once you have reached the desired height, lock the stem in place by tightening the lock nut against the black
indented bush.
NB. Occasionally the extension stems may be slightly angled inwards to the frame. This is not a fault and will not
impair the function or safety of the product, provided that you tighten off the lock nut as required.
9. Use of Bath Oils
Caution should be observed if you are using any form of bath oils or oily skin preparation with your shower chair as
this may impair your natural contact skin resistance.
In the event of using any such oil, your seat must be thoroughly cleaned with a suitable detergent to break down any
oily residue. Failure to observe this recommendation could impair your safety.
