Home Safety Advice
- It is recommended that two people fit this product to ensure that it is fitted safely.
- Always take care when using power tools, particularly in the bathroom.
- Always check for hidden cables and pipework before drilling and take extreme
care if there is any water in the working area.
- It is advisable to use a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB)
- Always wear suitable eye protection when drilling.
- If the product is to be fitted on a ceramic tiled wall, a ceramic drill bit should be
used.
- Always ensure that the drill hole passes through the central tiled area rather than
through the grouted area. To prevent damage to the tile, mask the area around the
hole with tape before drilling.
- Do not strike the product with hard or sharp objects.
Product Location
Grab and support bars and shower seats are only as strong as the wall to which they are fixed and the fixings that are used.
For different wall types you will need to ensure that you are using the correct type of fixing for the material of the wall.
The addition of backboards on the outside of the wall or appropriate strengthening of internal structures may be required to provide adequate wall strength.
NOTE: If the wall is made of lightweight thermal blocks, aerated hollow brickwork or prefabricated partitions even the most appropriate fixings may not be able to withstand the loads which can be suddenly applied to grab bars, hinged support bars and seats.

Fitting Instruction

1. Identify the most appropriate position for the Fold Away Shower Seat ensuring the product is at a comfortable height and distance for showering.
2. The Fold Away Shower Seat can be folded upwards for more convenient storage so please ensure there is sufficient space above the fixing position to allow for this.
3. Place the Fold Away Shower Seat in position on the wall and using the hole centres of the wall plate as a template mark the screw fixing positions on the wall surface ensuring they are horizontal. (See Fig.2)
4. Drill the holes to a depth suitable for the fixings in the marked positions using a masonry drill. (See Fig.2) If the product is to be fitted onto a ceramic tiled wall, a ceramic drill bit should be used.
5. Insert the wall plugs flush to the surface of the wall. If fitting to a tiled surface, the wall plugs should be inserted below the surface of the tile to avoid cracking.

Away Shower Seat wall plate and screw to the wall. (See Fig.1)
7. Check the Fold Away Shower Seat is securely fastened to the wall before use.
