Adjustable Toilet Seat Raiser
Set-up and Operation
Prior to use please read all
instructions
Unit must be correctly mounted to
an existing toilet bowl before use
Installation
Remove the existing toilet
seat from the bowl. Seats
are generally attached by
a pair of bolts/nuts located
under the rear rim of the
toilet.
Unscrew and remove the
long plastic nuts from the
rear of the toilet seat raiser.
Check the toilet seat raiser
is firmly clamped against
the toilet bowl before use.
The position of the mounting bolts can be adjusted to suit
different toilets. To adjust, slide the mounting bolts along the rear
bar to achieve the correct
distance.
Mounting nuts must be
loose for mounting bolts to
slide freely along the bar.
Reattach both long plastic
nuts to the mounting bolts
and tighten firmly.

Adjusting seat height
The toilet seat raiser can be adjusted to 3 different height settings,
adding 80, 120 or 160 mm to the height of the toilet bowl. Height
can be adjusted either before or after installation.
Ideal seat height
Ideal height is when the user’s feet
can completely touch the floor, and
the hip height is higher than knee
height (ie less than 90 degrees on the
knee joint or hip joint)
Seat height is adjusted by setting both front and rear bars to 1 of 3
positions, as dictated by a set of 3 height adjustment holes.
Do not position the rear bar higher than the front bar, as this
will create a rearward tilt that may cause injury to the user.
When adjusting after the toilet seat raiser is installed, be
careful not to drop components into the toilet.
For 80 mm height,
set bars to top hole.
For 120 mm height,
set bars to middle
hole.
For 160 mm height,
set bars to bottom
hole.
Flip up the toilet seat for
easy access to the bars.
Remove the black knob screws on both sides and reposition the bar
to the desired height. Holding the bar in place, insert the black knob
screw on both sides and tighten until firm.
The rear bar is adjusted in the same way. This makes it easier to
adjust the rear height setting to facilitate a forward angled tilt for
users requiring extra assistance when standing (rear bar lower than
front bar).

Inserting armrests
The toilet seat raiser can be used with or without armrests. One or
both armrests can be used to suit individual users and/or bathroom
set up. A brass locking button is used to secure each armrest.
To insert the armrests, press in the locking button located under the
frame of the armrest and slide the armrest into the arm hole at the
side of the toilet seat. Check the armrest is stable and secure before
use.
Using the toilet seat raiser
The toilet seat raiser operates
just like a standard toilet seat.
The seat may be flipped up
so the bowl can be accessed
without the seat.
Armrests may also be removed
completely for ease of transfer or
cleaning. Swing armrests up and
flip up the toilet seat to access
the armrest locking button. Press
the locking button in and pull the
armrests out. Store safely when
not in use.
Armrests may be swung
up and out of the way for
increased access. Pull gently
upwards to unclip the armrest,
and swing upwards until
vertical.
