OVERVIEW
Thank you for choosing the P.T.Rail system from HealthCraft. Please read
and understand the instructions in this manual; keep manual for future
reference. It is your responsibility to see that your P.T.Rail system is
properly assembled, installed, and cared for. Failure to follow instructions in
this manual could result in serious injury or death. If you are not equipped
to undertake the outlined work, we would recommend that you have your
P.T.Rail system installed by a qualified contractor.
The P.T.Rail is a high quality, commercial grade, fold down rail for use
beside a toilet. The P.T.Rail features an offset handle to help reduce strain
when gripping the lower rail. The P.T.Rail is intended for moderate vertical
and horizontal load bearing to provide sitting and standing toilet support for
people with reduced mobility. The P.T.Rail is intended to bear weight ONLY
when the handle is in the down position; the handle is not intended to bear
weight in any other position. The P.T.Rail handle is intended to be folded up
when not in use. A friction hinge ensures that the handle will not
inadvertently lower when it is in the up position. The P.T.Rail is installed
with appropriate fasteners to a structural wall.
The Floor Mast is a floor mounted structural member intended to provide a
mounting surface for a P.T.Rail (in cases where wall fastening is not an
option). The Floor Mast is installed with appropriate fasteners to a
structural floor. The P.T.Rail is height adjustable on the Floor Mast. Must
use supplied fasteners to install P.T.Rail to Floor Mast.
The maximum user weight for this product is 400lbs / 181kgs. Note:
Product is not intended to support full body weight. The P.T.Rail and Floor
Mast are not to be used in any other way than described above.
