OPERATION:
Bariatric shower seat can be folded up against the wall when not in use. The baseplate holds seat into upright position until
released by pulling the top of seat away from wall. The seat should move up and down with a small amount of user effort, and
should not move independently. When the seat is lowered to a horizontal sitting position, the seat should automatically level
with the help of the stainless steel hinge bracket, which aligns the swing-down legs. Nonporous high-pressure laminate Seat
has slots to permit water to drain, does not splinter or require oiling, and will not support growth of bacteria. Bobrick bariatric
shower seats, when properly installed, have sufficient strength to support 1102 lbs., (500 kg) complying with accessible design
guidelines (including ADAAG in the U.S.A.).
INSTALLATION:
Unfasten hinge arm brackets from shower seat legs, if they are not already loose. Release white plastic flange covers from all
three mounting flange assemblies with a flat-blade screwdriver and pull them back to expose flanges. Remove large pivot bolt
and nut from all three flange assemblies to remove them from the shower seat pivot assemblies.
Provide concealed anchor device(s) or backing as specified or required in accordance with local building codes before wall
is finished. Once desired mounting location and height is determined, position temporary mounting template against the
wall, with template arrow facing forward and pointing up, and mark a level line on the wall. Remove adhesive strip covers (3)
from rear of mounting template. Secure temporary template to wall with the adhesive strips, in its original orientation, using
the level line as a guide to align it. Drill a small pilot hole at all twelve mounting bolt locations. Remove template from wall.
Four mounting bolt locations, per mounting flange, to be drilled to accept twelve 3" (75mm) long 5/16" hex-head lag bolts
(furnished).
Securely mount all three mounting flange assemblies to wall and concealed anchor device or backing (not furnished) with hex-
head lag bolts. Left flange assembly to be oriented with hinge arm bracket at lower right position. Right flange assembly to be
oriented with hinge arm bracket at lower left position.
With white plastic flange covers pulled back, position shower seat with pivot assemblies near mounting flanges. Align the pivot
assemblies with the lateral pivot holes of the flange assemblies. Thread the pivot bolts back through the flanges and pivot As-
semblies in their original orientation. Secure the assemblies together threading the nuts onto the pivot bolts. Tighten the pivot
bolts and nuts to 5.6/6.7 pounds (25/30N) of force. The shower seat should move up and down with a small amount of user
effort, but should not move independently.
Refasten hinge arm bracket ends to vertical shower seat legs. Snap white plastic flange covers into place over mounting flanges.
Adjust feet of vertical shower seat legs by rotating the feet clockwise or counter-clockwise until all three feet contact the floor
securely.
Optional anchor devices and/or fasteners (not provided) may be used, subject to type of wall on which the shower seat will be
mounted, but would also be subject to local building codes for safe shower seat mounting.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
DO NOT USE abrasive liquid detergents. Chlorine bleach does not improve the aseptic aspect of the equipment and could lead
to opacity and deterioration of the material.
DO NOT USE hot air with a temperature over 80°C ( 175°F ) for drying the device.
SAFETY WARNING: Shower seats are no stronger than the anchors and walls to which they are attached and must
be firmly secured in order to support the loads for which they are intended. Consult and comply with local
building codes. To avoid potential injury, the building owner or maintenance personnel should remove the shower
seat from service if the shower seat is not adequately secured to the wall. Unit shall support static loads of up
to 1102 lbs (500 kg) when properly installed and used. To avoid potential seat malfunction, DO NOT use seat if
weight exceeds 1102 lbs (500 kg).
