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 grab bar, the vacuum safety indicator must be examined and acted upon
according to the instructions (cf. page 10)
•
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 mobile grab 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 11).
•
Before each new attachment, make sure of the proper functioning of the mobile grab handle. 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.
•
Remember that the suction cup only adheres as well as the substrate, so check the adhesion of the substrate
(e.g. the tile on the wall) before using the grab handle in a new place.
•
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 mobile grab handles 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 grab 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 with parts from other manufacturers. This will invalidate any warranty or
liability.
Risk of accident!!!
