GRAND THRONE
Instruction Manual
Assembly and instructions for your Grand Throne.
Gently lowering you down and then
lifting you back up again.
www.babythrone.co.za

Keep your vitality. A life without
health is like a river without water.
The Grand Throne was designed to meet a real need. Through
our work with the Baby Throne, we learned that there was a
real need for more independence, dignity and health in the
bathroom and around the home for all ages.
We discovered that there are times in our lives when moving
from a standing position to a sitting position, and back up
again, is a real challenge.
The Grand Throne offers secure help in gently lowering you
down into that optimal seated position and lifting you back
up to a standing position again.
We hoped that by creating the Grand Throne we would give
people of all ages access to that freedom and dignity in their
own homes. The Grand Throne can be used in the bathroom
(toilet and shower) and around the home.
Using the Grand Throne in the home as part of medical care
will not only give you privacy and dignity, it will also support
your colon health and comfort.

Uses Health Facts
The Grand Throne frame provides both versatility and safety. The Grand Throne
supports the user from the back and the sides to ensure safety and stability, while the
handrails provide the option of additional support. The Grand Throne can be used
with either standard-sized toilet seat or with the Grand Throne Squat Seat (depending
on preference and comfort). The standard-sized toilet seat offers a 90 degree seated
angle whereas the Grand Throne Squat Seat offers an optimal seated position for
enhanced colon health. In cases of more complex needs, a medical professional can
advise you on what is appropriate for your individual medical needs.
The gas-lifts gently lower you down as you lean back into the toilet seat. These gas-lifts
also lift you back up again as you lean forward into a standing position. The amount
of lift required is a personal choice and generally depends upon the weight of the
individual. You can choose from the 3 models’, 100N (suitable for uses from 50kg to
60kg) or the 200N (suitable for users from 60kg to 90kg) or 300N (suitable for users from
90kg to 120kgs) individuals. The Grand Throne adds approximately 5 cm to the height
of a standard toilet. If this is too high for you simply use a step-up of your choice.
Sitting in the correct position is vital for colon health. Medical research shows that the
optimal squat position not only relaxes the puborectalis muscle (therefore triggering
the urge to push) but also enables the bowels to fully empty. The optimal squat
position prevents and eases constipation as it keeps the puborectalis muscle in a relaxed
position as the bowel empties.
Whether injured, frail or
convalescing, the Grand Throne
offers secure help in gently lowering
you down into that optimal seated
position and lifting you back up to a
standing position again.
In these images the Grand Throne is not fitted with a standard-sized toilet seat–or the
Throne Squat Seat–as it is easier to see how the Throne can be used for different purposes.

Although not essential, it is easier if two people assemble the
Grand Throne. One person to hold the sides of the frame, and the other

would like a standard-sized toilet seat or the Grand Throne Squat Seat and
secure this to the seat frame.

handles turn outwards.
2. Secure the back rest frame onto the two side frames, using 4 of the long bolts.
3. Secure the foot rest onto the side frames, using the remaining 4 long bolts.
4. Slide the back rest onto the back rest frame.

Care and Safety
The Grand Throne is not a toy. It is designed to help adults move from
a standing position to a seated position and back up again to a standing
position. To avoid injury ensure that the bolts are always secure as with any
moving parts it is possible for the bolts to become loose over time. Check
the bolts regularly. After use in the shower, wipe down your Throne with
a soft cloth. With good care the surface will not rust. Take care of your
Throne and it will take care of you!
We have taken great pride and care in creating the Grand Throne. All
parts are guaranteed for a year. The Grand Throne must only be used
for intended purposes; it is designed for adults’ use (children must be
supervised). It is essential that all foreign objects, fingers and materials
are kept away from any moving parts on the Grand Throne. Please follow
instructions carefully. Any issues, please contact us immediately.
Instructions: Using the Standard Seat
The Grand Throne (fitted with either the standard-sized toilet seat or
the Throne’s Squat Seat) has been designed to be used over the toilet.
However, it can be used in the shower or elsewhere in the house.
Step 1: Gently lean back onto the seat holding onto the supporting bars
of the frame. The seat will gently lower you into a seated or
squat position.
Step 2: Turn the brake handles inwards to lock the seat into position.
Place your feet onto the foot rest if you wish to raise your knees
further.
Step 3: Once ready, turn the handles outwards to release the brake and
