Unfortunately, though, one cannot always rely on this assumption; therefore, it is absolutely indispensable to test the
adhesive force of the respective tiles or other surface materials on the wall.
Furthermore, due to material aging or in prefabricated construction there might be a reduction of the adhesive power,
therefore testing is essential (e.g., by abrupt application of force).
1.6 Useful life
The expected useful life is six years (if used daily and in accordance with the intended purpose) in an institution or
public facility. The prerequisite for this is compliance with the maintenance and safety regulations specified in these
operating instructions. The actual service life may vary depending on the frequency and intensity of use. These
handles have been tested according to ISO 17966:2016.
1.7 Reuse
The product is suitable for repeated use. How often the product can be used depends on the type of use. Clean and
disinfect the product thoroughly before re-use and check the handle carefully, especially the function of the vacuum
safety indicator.
2. Safety information
•
Prior to any use of the mobile QuattroPower support grab bar, the vacuum safety indicator must be
examined and acted upon according to the instructions (cf. page 11)
•
Even on fully impermeable, flush tiles it can never be determined exactly when the vacuum will decrease
(e.g. due to hairline cracks), therefore always pay attention to the vacuum safety indicator!
•
Use the QuattroPower support handle only when you have experience in handling it or while you are under
supervision of a person who has experience in handling it. Children may only use the handle under supervision or
if you have secured the rocker arms with a rocker arm lock (cf. accessories on page 12).
•
Before each new attachment, make sure of the proper functioning of the mobile QuattroPower Support Kid. Pay
particular attention to the rubber suction pads; they must be clean and intact and must not have any tears or
scoring.
Never use mobile grab handles with damaged rubber pads and/or with reduced retaining strength.
•
Please bear in mind that the suction power of the rubber pads is dependent on the surface they are to be adhered
to.
•
After applying the vacuum tilting levers, the sucking adhesive strength created by the vacuum can be entirely or
partly absent, in particular with unglazed tiles, natural stone, wood, as well as ceramic coating that has been
textured/grinded or given a rough grain to provide a non-slip finish.
With grab bars with vacuum safety indicator this becomes visible by the rising of the flip-up tab!
•
Attention!
Usage under water reduces the suction power.
•
The suction strength
stated above refers to normal room temperature (10 °C
– 30 °C); at high temperatures, e.g.
in a sauna, the suction strength will be reduced.
Attention!
Temperatures higher than 41 °C can be reached due
to solar radiation or by contact with hot water which can lead to skin damage and/or burning.
•
The indicated suction strength is calculated at about 300 m above sea level. At higher altitudes, the suction
strength diminishes (by approx. 10 % per every additional 1,000 m of altitude).
•
Never expose the rubber pads to UV radiation (sunlight) for any prolonged periods of time; otherwise they will
quickly lose their elasticity. For this reason, never attach the grab handles to any surface (e.g. window) that will be
illuminated from the outside.
•
Do not place anything underneath the grab handle that could be damaged by the rail suddenly releasing and
dropping on it, or remove the grab handle after use.
•
The detachable mobile grab handles must only be used with the tilting levers perfectly engaged (i.e.,
vacuum tilting levers level with the surface).
•
Do not attach the QuattroPower Support Kid to vehicle metal panels, foils, or thin glass panes because the
vacuum created by the suction pad might deform and damage these materials.
•
If the mobile QuattroPower support handle remains attached over prolonged periods of time, there is the risk that
the underground (e.g. bath tub) gets permanently stained by the rubber pad.
•
Never combine MOBELI products or parts of them with parts from other manufacturers. This will invalidate any
warranty or liability.
Risk of accident!!!
