INSTALLATION
Installation
This seat must be attached to a nished vertical surface, capable of supporting the specied
weight limits using suitable xings appropriate to the type of surface and loading conditions to be
applied. Check that the oor surface is suitable for the feet loading conditions. Acrylic shower trays
are not recommended.
• Never exceed the weight capacity of 25 stone (158 kg) (350 Ib)
• Do not use xings with countersunk heads.
• Take care not to damage the painted surface on the brackets.
• Make sure that all xing holes are used.
• Stainless steel xings are recommended but not supplied.
• Once installed check that the plastic pivot caps are rmly in place
and the leg C-clips are installed.
Cushion Assembly
Position the seat pad to seat. Note the front
of the pad is indicated.
The seat pad retainer caps are tted from
underneath the seat. Each pad has locating
bungs that use a retainer cap (4 in total).
To t the retainer cap, it should be rotated
in a clockwise direction whilst applying rm
pressure towards the seat pad. The seat pad
may need to be held in position whilst the
retainer caps are tted.
Be careful not to overtighten the retainer caps. The retainer should be hand tightened so
that it is a secure t.
Leg Adjustment
One of the legs has ne tuning capability. Some
installations may require one leg to be slightly
longer than the other, to account for the slope of
a shower tray for instance. For such installations,
swap the legs over so that the leg with the screw
and nut above the foot is on the side that needs
to be longer.

Installation
Adjust the height of the legs by removing the C-clips, sliding the legs in or out, then replacing
the C-clips (Fig. 2).
Once the seat has been xed to the wall, perform any ne tuning of the leg. Slide the cover up
the inner part of the leg. Back the nut off the inner leg and then unwind the foot. Move the nut
into position and then wind the foot back in until the nut butts up to the inner leg. Both feet
should be rmly on the oor, i.e. one foot should not be only just touching.
Installation of Seat with Backrest
Mark the desired position of the mounting
brackets on the wall ensuring the seat is level.
Adjust the feet to make ner adjustment.
Use suitable wall xings to secure
the mounting brackets to the wall.
Do not use countersunk screws.
Check for cables and pipework before
drilling. Drill the holes with a suitable
wall/tile drill bit and insert wall plugs.
Ensure all xings are secure. Re-attach the
screw cover onto the backrest and ensure
the feet are at against the oor surface.
