Short product description
Gripo Alu is classified in NS-EN ISO 9999 as a medical device and within
the product group 180806, and is defined as a TELESCOPIC POLE to carry
support devices.
e pole is tested according to EN 12182 and approved for a horizontal
load of 100 kg on the middle of the pole with maximum length 3,0 meter.
It is produced in the materials of aluminum and plastic and intended for
clamping between the floor and ceiling of any room where the ceiling and
floor have enough strength to withstand a point load of 100 kg.
In each end of the pole there is a plate-shaped end plate with a friction
ring installed. e force between the plates is maintained by a gas spring
with an average pressure of 100 kg. is makes the pole possible to be
installed without use of any form of screw or nail connection, causing
perforation of floor or ceiling, and the dismantling of the bar leaves no
marks.
With support of different accessories the pole can be adapted to many
different pole use situations.e pole can be used in rooms with headroom
from 2,1 meter to 3,0 meter, and it is delivered in only one model in which
the aluminum tubes are in the natural aluminum colour, and all plastic
parts in black colour.

e installation of the pole should be carried out by a trained installer or, by someone that
has thoroughly understood the assembly user guide.
 e product should not be assembled without prior training and before the user
reference manual has been carefully read and understood.
 Any kind of support devices can be dangerous for the user, if assembled, installed or
used incorrectly.
 Any sign of loosening, it must not be used, and help should be called.
 e pole must not be installed in rooms with headroom exceeding the approved height,
or be placed where there can be any risk for pinching.
 When used in showers, a friction mat has to be used under the base plate. #52007
 If the red warning indicator is visible, the assembly is wrong and the pole must not be
used. Reassembly the pole and make sure to rotate the inner tube clockwise so that the
inner tube is locked in place with the outer tube before you lock the quick release lock
and press down the foot pedal.
Warning
Safety provisions
Test before installation
e ceiling should be examined beforehand, with regard to strength and accessibility
for the placement of the pole in the desired location. For false ceiling, the pole should
preferably be placed directly under the beams or battoning to prevent ceiling damage. If
the ceiling is made of concrete, the pole can be placed anywhere. If the ceiling is made of
gypsum, or other week material, e #35153 Top plate Big has to be used, or the ceiling
has to be reinforced by for instance using a more solid plywood between the pole`s top
plate and the ceiling.

Function verification and testing of product and accessories
After the installation is completed, it must be checked that the red mark in the upper part
of the inner tube just below the top plate is not visible. is should also be checked
regularly while the pole is in use.
If the red marking is apparent the cause may be:
- A weak ceiling structure that causes the power/pressure of the pole to push the ceiling up. To rectify this, use the Large Top
plate #35153, or reinforce the ceiling. Alternatively, the pole should be moved to an area where the construction is strong enough.
- e tightening screw on the quick release may have loosened. Tighten the nut on the quick release till it sits tight.
When recycling the pole, all surfaces must be inspected for damage. Take special care of
the rim in the top and base plate, which create the friction ring used for stabilising the pole.
If this shows sign of darkning, it should be replaced.
After this control, the pole must be installed in a room where the ceiling is solid, and the
Quick Release must be checked so that the red marking is not visible after installation.
Error indications and routines to follow
If the pole seems loose, out of line, or there are marks on the floor or ceiling that indicate
the pole has been displaced, assembly must be checked by a competent person. If the
red mark on the top of the inner tube appears, the pole must not be used before new
installation is completed and checked. is may indicate that the pole is either not
installed correctly or the ceiling is not strong enough.
If an error occurs, using problems or suspected wrongly installation, please contact your
supplier. By request, always give the serial number affixed to the pole.
Use Gripo user manual for installation instructions.
Installation

7
Normal dusting and cleaning with wet cloth and soap is sufficient.
GENERAL
It is sufficient to inspect the pole upon recycling. For poles that are older than 5 years, the
producer receommends inspection for potential recycling, once a year.
PRODUCTS WITH SPECIAL LOADS
e product has no particular need for periodic inspection, unless it is being used and
exposed to special or extreme loads, over and above standard usage.
If the pole is being exposed to special or extreme loads, it would be an advantage to both
the user and the supplier, that the special considerations be evaluated for usage and
maintenance needs.
Periodic inspection
Cleaning performed by user
Preparation for reuse
To ensure that the user receives a secure aid when the pole is recycled, it is important
that the aid undergoes a thorough technical inspection and is properly cleaned before it is
sent to a new user. As manufacturer and supplier, we believe that the inspection
described in section 2.3.2 is sufficient. Worn parts musy be checked and/or replaced if
they are considered to lead to reduced safety for the user.

gerous for use, or damaging to the environment.
