the toilet bowl.
Prior to use please
read all instructions

Installation

attached by a pair of bolts/
nuts located under the rear
rim of the toilet.
Unscrew and remove the
long plastic nuts from the
rear of the toilet seat raiser.
Check the toilet seat raiser
is firmly clamped against
the toilet bowl before use.
The position of the mounting bolts can be adjusted to match
dierent toilets. To adjust, slide the mounting bolts along the rear
bar to achieve the correct distance.

loose for mounting bolts to
slide freely along the bar.

nuts to the mounting bolts
and tighten firmly.

SET-UP AND OPERATION

Adjusting seat height
The toilet seat raiser can be adjusted to 3 dierent height
settings, adding 50, 100 or 150 mm to the height of the toilet bowl.
Height can be adjusted either before or after installation.
Ideal seat height
Ideal height is when the user’s feet
can completely touch the floor, and
the hip height is higher than knee
height (ie less than 90 degrees on
the knee joint or hip joint)
To reposition the bars, remove the bolt protector caps from each
side of the toil et seat raiser (front and rear).
Seat height is adjusted by setting both front and rear bars to 1 of 3
positions, as dictated by a set of 3 height adjustment holes.
When adjusting after the toilet seat raiser is installed, be
careful not to drop components into the toilet.
For 50 mm height,
set bars to top hole.
For 100 mm height,
set bars to middle
hole.
For 150 mm height,
set bars to bottom
hole.
Flip up the toilet seat for
easy access to the bars.
Using the inbuilt
adjustment knob, undo
the front bolt and remove.
Repeat on the opposite
side, holding the bar to
prevent it falling.
Reposition the bar to the desired height. Holding the bar in place,
reinsert the adjustment knob on both sides and tighten until firm.
The rear bar is adjusted in the same way, using the inbuilt
adjustment knob to remove side bolts. This adjustment can
be used to adjust the rear height setting to facilitate a forward
angled tilt for users requiring extra assistance when standing
(rear bar lower then front bar).
When adjustment is complete, replace all bolt protector caps.
Do not position the front bar higher than the rear bar, as this
will create a rearward tilt that may cause injury to the user.

Inserting armrests
The toilet seat raiser can be used with or without armrests. One
or both armrests can be used to suit individual users and/or
bathroom set up. A brass locking button is used to secure each
armrest.
To insert the armrests, press in the locking button located under
the frame of the armrest and slide the armrest into the arm hole at
the side of the toilet seat. Check the armrest is stable and secure
before use.
Using the toilet seat raiser
The toilet seat raiser operates
just like a standard toilet seat.
The seat may be flipped up
so the bowl can be accessed
without the seat.
Armrests may also be
removed completely
for ease of transfer
or cleaning. Swing
armrests up and flip up
the toilet seat to access
the armrest locking
button. Press the
locking button in and
pull the armrests out.
Store safely when not
in use.
Armrests may be swung
up and out of the way for
increased access. Pull gently
upwards to unclip the
armrest, and swing upwards
until vertical.
