WARNING - PATIENT ENTRAPMENT!
The potential risk of entrapment (limb, neck, head, torso)
between the rail and adjacent item (i.e. bed) can be
reduced or avoided by the following strategies:
1. Consider situations that could change with time or
usage such as mattress compression, patient movement.
2. Realize that this product is not intended as a physical
constraint or barrier to exiting the bed.
GETTING STARTED
We strongly recommend that you give thought as to the
optimal location of your SuperPole™ FRS before
installation. The following questions may help you to
decide upon a location:
a. What motions will you be going through? (pulling up to
standing, lowering to sitting, transferring from chair to
toilet, etc.)
b. What is your strongest side/hand?
c. What is your complete transfer path? Will the location
allow for full support over most of your path of motion?
d. Will the pole be far enough away to allow you
to stand comfortably?
SUPERPOLE FRS™ PLACEMENT
NOTE: If using the SuperBar Add On Kit (SPB-AK),
please refer to the instructions for the SuperBar to
help determine placement of SuperPole™ FRS.
BEDROOM
Locate unit adjacent to hip/belt line and as close to bed
as possible while allowing clearance for bed coverings.
TOILET and / or BATHTUB
Toilet - suggested to locate floor receptacle between three
to ten inches forward of the knees and two to six inches to
side of knees when seated such as position C or D.

FLOOR RECEPTACLE INSTALLATION
Read these instructions in their entirety prior to
commencing installation or use of the SuperPole™ FRS .
1. Using suggestions on page 1, determine a proposed
location for installation of the floor receptacle(s).
2. Check that the concrete floor is in good condition, and
that the depth of the slab is at least six inches prior to
drilling. IMPORTANT - Determine if there are any
conduits, wires, pipes or such within the floor to be
avoided during drilling, or a potential for the bottom of the
hole to fall through.
3. Select a locally available anchoring cement or
embedment grout to be used for the installation. It should
have a hardened bond and pullout strength of at least
2000 psi, compatibility with your floor cleaning chemicals,
and a pourable semi-liquid like consistency. (Suggestions
for this grout include HILTI HIT-HY150, from HILTI or
Anchorite Embedment Grout from C.C. Chemicals
Canada). Your selected grout should be confirmed to be
in accordance with any local codes in your area for safety,
disposal, and germ prevention.
4. Prepare to drill the hole for the receptacle. It is
recommended to create the hole with a 2" to 2-1/4"
diameter diamond type coring hole saw. The two inch size
results in the cleanest appearance of the hole with a
minimal appearance of grout around the receptacle, but
requires a flowable grout to fill into the small area around
the receptacle.
5. Referring to Figures 1, 2 & 3, the hole should be drilled
to 4-1/4" to 4-1/2" deep, and aligned as true vertical.
Follow the grout manufacturers’ guidelines for hole
preparation such as cleaning and roughening the hole
prior to using grout.
6. Referring to Figure 2, prior to mixing the grout, make a
test and lower the receptacle into the hole. Test that the
top of the receptacle does not sit above floor level. You
may choose to use thin metal pieces such as large
washers to place under the receptacle to shim it such that
the top of the receptacle is flush with the floor surface.
7. Once the hole and receptacle have been prepared for
installation, prepare the grout following manufacturer’s
directions. Referring to Figure 3, place/pour an amount of
the grout in the bottom of the drilled hole. You may also
apply some of the grout onto the sides of the receptacle to
pre-coat it for better adhesion.

FLOOR RECEPTACLE INSTALLATION (con't)
8. Next, referring to Figure 4, remove the cap of the
receptacle (as shown on page 2) and place a crumpled
rag/towel inside the receptacle to guard against any
grout entering the receptacle. Next, twist and force the
receptacle down into the grout until the top of it is
exactly flush with the floor surface. If the grout does not
rise up around the outside of the receptacle to within
approx. 1/2" of the top of the receptacle, remove the
receptacle, add more grout, and repeat. If the grout
overflows prior to the receptacle being fully lowered,
remove the receptacle and take out an amount of the
grout and reinstall the receptacle. Referring to Figure 5,
once the level of the grout has been finalized at 1/2"
below the floor surface, ensure that the receptacle is
exactly vertical. This may be accomplished by inserting
the FRS pole as a guideline, and correcting with the
guidance of a bubble level.
9. IMPORTANT - During installation take great care to
prevent the liquid grout getting down into the inside of
the receptacle. This can foul up the thread and pin holes
at the bottom of the receptacle. When sinking the
receptacle into the grout, keep the receptacle covered
or use a cloth rag inside the receptacle . Should any
grout enter the receptacle, immediately remove the
receptacle, and clean it out to prevent it from hardening.
10. Referring to Figure 6, after the initial grout has
hardened, add more grout around the top of the
receptacle and smooth it to be flush with the floor. Wait
the recommended time for hardening of the grout prior
to use.
