3. Operation / assembly
3.1 Mounting
(cf. page 9)
Assembling:
Push the snap pins in on both sides of the telescopic bar (fig. 11) and insert the bar into the
suction pad housing until the snap pins lock into place in their corresponding holes (clicking sound).
Test the secure hold of the snap pins by trying to pull the components apart!
The grab handle must not be used if not all snap pins on both sides are securely locked.
3.2 Attaching / suction
(cf. pages 8 and 10)
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 handles onto the surface where they should be sucked on.
(figs. 3 to 5).
a. The
tilting vacuum levers
must be
loose
at this point.
b. It must be taken 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. 8 and 9) lies under a rubber pad
and the pads are attached at least 10 mm above the lower edge of a joint (fig. 2).
With the telescopic grip (order no. 14002-21S, -22S, -23S, -24S), you can adjust the length of the
grip to achieve this (figs. 6 and 7).
4. While
pressing the bar against the surface to be adhered to and at the same time pressing on the
rocker
, turn over the 1
st
rocker and then the 2
nd
rocker (figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, 7).
5. The vacuum safety indicators continuously monitor the current vacuum state.
After the rocker is pressed and turned, the red-coloured safety tab must be
completely recessed flush
with the surface
in the rocker (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 bar under any circumstances!
3.3 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 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 grab handle with the rubber pads relaxed (i.e., with vacuum tilting levers
disengaged), flat and plane. Protect your mobile grab handle (e.g. in the box) from UV rays.
3.4 Disassembling
(cf. page 9)
Disassembling:
Push the snap pins in (fig. 10), and while holding the suction housing pull the telescopic
bar out of it (fig.11). Store the suction housings with the tilting levers pointing upward on a flat surface.
