injury to persons.
1. Read and understand all instructions.

Installing your Toilet Support
Step 1: Remove your Toilet Seat
Remove your toilet seat from your toilet bowl. This is done by
unscrewing the nuts on the two bolts that hold your seat onto
your toilet bowl. If the bolts are rusted, you may need to use
new nuts and bolts when you replace your toilet seat.
(See Fig. 1)
Step 2: Mount the Base Plate
Set the base plate directly on your toilet bowl, as in Figure 1, so
the holes in the plate line up with those in your toilet bowl. Note:
you have a choice of using the front or rear pair of holes in the
plate. You may need to use the rear pair in order to clear the
water tank on your toilet. Otherwise you may use your choice of
holes, to position the support more forward or rearward,
depending on the seat depth that would be most comfortable for the user of the support.
Replace your toilet seat, on top of the base plate, so the two bolts you removed in Step 1 go through the
holes in the plate as well as into the holes in your toilet bowl. Tighten the nuts firmly on the two bolts.

Step 3: Attach the Support Back
For use, slide the support back over the two upright posts on the base plate. When the back height is where
you would like it, tighten the plastic locking knobs. To open the safety buckle, squeeze the top and bottom
tabs together.
When not in use, remove the support back by loosening the plastic locking knobs and sliding the back off the
posts.
Cleaning Your Toilet Support
Scouring powders (Ajax, Comet, etc.) are recommended for cleaning the chrome and metal ports of your
support. Cleaning sprays and liquids are best for cleaning the plastic back. Always keep the chrome parts
dry to prevent deterioration of the finish.
