3. Operation / assembly
3.1 Mounting
(see page 9)
Assembling:
Push the snap-lock pins into the handle bar (fig. 7 arrow) and insert them into the crosspiece
until the snap-lock pins are engaged in the bores of the crosspiece (clicking noise). Please take care that
the cross parts are pointing upwards (fig. 11b).
Test the secure hold of the snap-lock pins by trying to pull the components apart!
The grab handle must not be used if not all snap-lock pins on both sides are securely locked.
The telescopic grab bar must not be mounted with the cross part pointing downwards (fig. 11a)!
3.2 Attaching / suction:
(see pages 8 and 9)
1. Examine the vacuum suction pads and the surface they are to be attached to.
2. Clean the surface thoroughly (fig. 1) so that it is
clean
(e.g. from etched lime sludge) and
grease-free
.
Likewise, the surface of the suction disc must be clean.
3.
Firmly press the mobile grab handle onto the surface where it should be sucked on.
(Fig. 2 a, b, c, d).
a. The
tilting vacuum levers
must be
loose
at this point.
b. Take care that both
rubber pads
are always positioned with their
full suction area
on the tiles or
other surfaces so that no grouting line or tile joint (figs. 3 and 4) lies under a rubber pad and the
pads are attached at least 10 mm above the lower edge of a joint (fig. 3).
To achieve this, you can adjust the length of the grip with the telescopic grab bar (figs. 4 and 5).
c. The built-in joints enable you to place the mobile grab handle also across corners (fig. 6).
4. While pressing the grab handle against the surface to be adhered to and at the same time pressing on the
rocker (figs. 2 a to d), turn over the all four rockers one after the other (figs. 2, 2 a, b, c, d).
5. The vacuum safety indicators continuously monitor the current vacuum state.
After the rockers have been pressed and turned, all the red-coloured safety tabs must be
completely
recessed flush with the surface
in the rockers (page 10, figs. 13 and 15)! In the course of time when the
vacuum decreases, the safety rockers will extend.
•
If a red side edge of the safety tabs (figs. 14 and 16) has become visible, the grab bar must not be
used under any circumstances and
must be reattached
immediately!
•
The clearer a red side edge of the tabs
(figs. 14 and 16)
can be seen, the lower is the actual
adhesive strength!
6. Check the vacuum safety indicator prior to any use. This can be felt by visually impaired or blind people. If
the vacuum safety indicator is not retracted (as just described), reattach the suction pads. If the indicator
tabs are still raised after the rocker has been turned and also are still sticking out after the tabs have been
pressed, the grab bar must be reattached (cf. malfunctions on page 7).
If retraction of the indicator tabs cannot be achieved, do not use the grab handle under any
circumstances!
3.2 Releasing:
1. Put a finger under the vacuum tilting lever in order to raise it; at the same time set your thumb on the
structured recess of the vacuum tilting lever to prevent a recoil effect.
Caution! With wrong operation there exists danger of squeezing.
2. Wait a little while! The four rubber pads will relax after approx. 30
–60 seconds and return to their original
shape, and then the suction device can be removed from the wall. Should the rubber pads keep adhering
longer, you can additionally raise the pads at one side (between wall and rubber disc) with a finger so that
air can penetrate underneath.
3.
Do not try to loosen the rubber pads with sharp edged items or tools; you would damage them.
4. When not in use, store the mobile QuattroPlus grab handle with the rubber pads relaxed (i.e., with vacuum
tilting levers disengaged, see page 9 fig. 12), flat and plane. Protect your mobile grab handle (e.g. in the
box) from UV rays.
3.3 Disassembling
(see page 9)
Disassembling the grab bar:
Push in the snap-lock pin (fig. 8) from the telescopic handle bar with the red push-
in aid and pull the telescopic handle bar out of the crosspiece while firmly holding it.
Disassembling the crosspieces and suction parts:
Push in the snap-lock pin (fig. 9) from the crosspiece
connector and pull it out from the suction casing (fig. 10).
