Carefully remove all packaging. Avoid using any knives or other sharp
instruments as this may damage the surface of the shower seat.
Check the product for any visible damage If you see any damage or suspect
a fault, do not use your product, but contact your supplier for support.
All of the product components are manufactured from quality materials.
However, it is very important that you only clean your shower chairs and
stools using a nonabrasive cleaner or mild detergent with a soft cloth avoid
using lime scale remover. Abrasive cleaners e.g. AJAX and or abrasive
cleaning pads will seriously damage your product beyond repair.
Certain products have clip on/clip off backs and/or seats; you can easily
remove these if required, clean with a mild detergent and soft cloth in a
warm water solution. Do not exceed 50oC when cleaning the seat cover
and/or back as this will permanently damage the plastic.
N.B. Regular daily cleaning will reduce the build-up of limescale on your
product. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES use any abrasive cleaners or
materials on any of the components. Also check that the cleaner you intend
to use is suitable for ABS, Vinyl, Polymer Plastics and Thermo plastic rubbers
and Polyurethane Rubber.
Caution should be observed if you are using any form of bath oils or oily skin preparation with your shower chair as this may
impair your natural contact skin resistance. In the event of using any such oil, your seat must be thoroughly cleaned with a
suitable detergent to break down any oily residue. Failure to observe this recommendation could impair your safety.
Please adjust the legs prior to installation. Remove the ‘E’ clip from the extension leg and extend all four legs evenly to the
desired height ensuring you do not exceed the last punched hole of the extension leg. (see fig. 1) Once you have achieved the
desired height; reinstall the ‘E’ clip, ensuring that it has passed through the extension leg and is fitting neatly and snug around
the outside leg. (see fig. 2). Never install the extension legs unevenly or slanting, this will compromise the safety of the user.

Once you have installed the shower seat check your installation and the movement of the shower seat by raising the seat from
the down position to the up position.
• Check that there are no obstructions
• Check that the movement of the seat is smooth and unhindered
• Check that the seat legs (if applicable) are sitting evenly on the floor
Testing the Shower Seat
To raise your seat, simply lift the front of the seat and the legs will automatically fold inwards towards the wall. Reverse the
action to lower.
Raising and Lowering Shower Seat
If required, your shower seat can be folded up when not in use. The seat is held in position by friction only. Once you have
installed the seat, check that there is sufficient friction to keep the seat in the upright position when required. If the seat starts
to descend, then you will need to tighten the bolts either side of the seat hinges. This operation should be sufficient to maintain
the seat in the closed position. Additionally, it will be necessary for the bolts to be tightened periodically, if the seat starts to
open on its own accord.
Folding Action
Your shower seat may have special threaded leg adjustment as opposed to the standard extension leg. To adjust the height of
your seat, carefully open the stainless steel M10 locking nut and undo the threaded stem to the desired height. On no account
exceed a finished height of 470 mm measured from the top of the seat to the bottom of the black circular foot, as this may
compromise the safety of the user. Once you have reached the desired height, lock the stem in place by tightening the lock nut
against the black indented bush. NB. Occasionally the extension stems may be slightly angled inwards to the frame. This is not
a fault and will not impair the function or safety of the product, provided that you tighten off the lock nut as required.
