surface (e.g., due to a rough serrated trowel) and tile joints not filled-in, there would still be an adhesive strength of
approx. 1400 kg.
Unfortunately, though, one cannot always rely on this assumption; therefore, it is absolutely indispensable to test
the adhesive strength of the respective tiles or other surface materials on the wall beforehand.
Furthermore, due to material ageing or in prefabricated construction there might be a reduction of the adhesive
strength, therefore testing is essential (e.g., by abrupt application of force; with the help of another person, if
necessary).
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 QuattroPlus grab handle, 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 its use. 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 QuattroPlus grab handle. Pay
particular attention to the rubber suction pads; they must be clean and undamaged and must not show any
signs of tearing or scoring.
Never use mobile QuattroPlus grab handles with damaged rubber pads and/or when they have reduced
adhesive 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 handle in a new location.
•
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 (marble), wood, as well as ceramic coating that has
been textured/grinded or given a rough grain to provide a non-slip finish.
With handles with vacuum safety indicator this becomes visible by the rising of the flip-up tab!

Attention!
Usage under water reduces the holding strength.
•
The holding strength
stated above refers to normal room temperature (10 °
–30 °C); at high temperatures, e.g. in
a sauna, the holding 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 holding strength is calculated at about 300 m above sea level. At higher altitudes, the holding
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 pane)
that will be illuminated from the outside.
•
Do not place anything underneath the grab handle that could be damaged by the handle suddenly releasing
and dropping on it, or remove the handle after use.
•
The mobile grab handles may only be used with the snap-lock pins fully engaged.
•
Do not attach the mobile QuattroPlus 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 QuattroPlus 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!!!
