1.2 Explanations/symbols in this manual and on the handle
Follow the instructions for use!
For persons with visual impairment, the font size for this on-line manual can be set accordingly at
https://www.mobeli.de/download-bereich.
Warning (indicates a dangerous situation)
Manufacturer (additionally, year of manufacture on the handlebar)
Order number
Maximum user weight
The mobile MOBELI grab handles comply with the directive 93/42/EEC on medical devices of class I.
Batch designation
Allergy Notice: The high-quality rubber pads contain natural rubber latex.
Natural rubber latex can cause allergic reactions including anaphylactic reactions.
1.3 Intended use
As grab handle or stand-up handle for adults and children. The angel angle adjustable handrail has been developed
to support natural movement. They are not designed to carry the full body weight.
Any other use, e.g. as a seat, carrying handle or climbing aid, is not permitted.
1.4 Application range of the product
As grab handle for largely independent use indoors, as in shower cubicles, bath tubs, toilets, and at washbasins.
For the vacuum suction generated by the rubber pads to be effective, the grab handle may only be attached to
smooth and non-porous rigid surfaces that are pore- and steam-tight, clean, dry, and free of oils and grease.
On rough or porous surfaces, the vacuum hold will be diminished or does not exist at all. Please bear in mind that
tiles are not necessarily always smooth and steam-tight (i.e., suitable for vacuum generation).
Test your tiles and the wall prior to use (with the help of another person, if necessary).
Since the MOBELI vacuum suction pads are made from strongly adhesive and flexible natural rubber, they can
usually adapt to slightly textured tiles. (Attention, reduced holding time! Pay attention to the safety indicator!)
The mobile grab handle is ideally suited for use at home where there are no permanently fixed rails, e.g. for short-
term use after a stay in hospital or for testing of a new accommodation. It is also well suited at hospitals and nursing
homes as an additional and short-term supplement for stationary rails.
The mobile grab handle can also be used where it is not possible to install permanent rails, e.g. in glass shower
cubicles or in bathtubs. or if drilling in walls is not allowed (or not possible), e.g. in a rented flat or in a wall where
water and/or power lines can be located. Also, during doctor's visitations, office visits, journeys etc., the MOBELI
grab handle finds its ideal use.
1.5 For your information
In hotels and public establishments in Europe, tiles must be non-porous and steam-tight (as per DIN/EN 159 and
176). According to the tile adhesives material standard DIN 12004, tile adhesives must have a minimum adhesive
strength of 0.5 N/mm². E.g., for two tiles with a tile size of 147 mm x 147 mm x 0.5 N/mm², this would result in an
adhesive strength of approx. 2,160 kg. Even with an effective adhesive surface of only ⅓ of the tile surface (e.g.,
due to a rough serrated trowel) and tile joints not filled-in, there would still be an adhesive strength of approx.
700 kg.
Unfortunately, though, one cannot always rely on this assumption; therefore, it is absolutely indispensable to test
the adhesive strength of the respective tiles or other surface materials on the wall.
Furthermore, due to material aging or in prefabricated construction there might be a reduction of the adhesive
power, therefore testing is essential (e.g., by abrupt application of force).

1.6 Useful life
The expected useful life is six years (if used daily and in accordance with the intended purpose) in an institution or
public facility. The prerequisite for this is compliance with the maintenance and safety regulations specified in these
operating instructions. The actual service life may vary depending on the frequency and intensity of use. These
handles have been tested according to ISO 17966:2016.
1.7 Reuse
The product is suitable for repeated use. How often the product can be used depends on the type of use. Clean and
disinfect the product thoroughly before re-use and check the handle carefully, especially the function of the vacuum
safety indicator.
2. Safety information
•Prior to any use of the mobile grab bar, the vacuum safety indicator must be examined and acted upon
according to the instructions (cf. page 10)
•Even on fully impermeable, flush tiles it can never be determined exactly when the vacuum will
decrease (e.g. due to hairline cracks), therefore always pay attention to the vacuum safety indicator!
•Use the mobile grab handle only when you have experience in handling it or while you are under supervision of
a person who has experience in handling it. Children may only use the handle under supervision or if you have
secured the rocker arms with a rocker arm lock (cf. accessories on page 11).
•Before each new attachment, make sure of the proper functioning of the mobile grab handle. Pay particular
attention to the rubber suction pads; they must be clean and intact and must not have any tears or scoring.
Never use mobile grab handles with damaged rubber pads and/or with reduced retaining strength.
•Remember that the suction cup only adheres as well as the substrate, so check the adhesion of the substrate
(e.g. the tile on the wall) before using the grab handle in a new place.
•After applying the vacuum tilting levers, the sucking adhesive strength created by the vacuum can be entirely or
partly absent, in particular with unglazed tiles, natural stone, wood, as well as ceramic coating that has been
textured/grinded or given a rough grain to provide a non-slip finish.
With grab bars with vacuum safety indicator this becomes visible by the rising of the flip-up tab!
•Attention! Usage under water reduces the suction power.
•The suction strength stated above refers to normal room temperature (10 °C –30 °C); at high temperatures,
e.g. in a sauna, the suction strength will be reduced. Attention! Temperatures higher than 41 °C can be
reached due to solar radiation or by contact with hot water which can lead to skin damage and/or burning.
•The indicated suction strength is calculated at about 300 m above sea level. At higher altitudes, the suction
strength diminishes (by approx. 10 % per every additional 1,000 m of altitude).
•Never expose the rubber pads to UV radiation (sunlight) for any prolonged periods of time; otherwise they will
quickly lose their elasticity. For this reason, never attach the grab handles to any surface (e.g. window) that will
be illuminated from the outside.
•Do not place anything underneath the grab handle that could be damaged by the rail suddenly releasing and
dropping on it, or remove the grab handle after use.
•The detachable mobile grab handles must only be used with the tilting levers perfectly engaged (i.e.,
vacuum tilting levers level with the surface).
•Do not attach the mobile grab handles to vehicle metal panels, foils, or thin glass panes because the vacuum
created by the suction pad might deform and damage these materials.
•If the mobile grab handle remains attached over prolonged periods of time, there is the risk that the
underground (e.g. bath tub) gets permanently stained by the rubber pad.
•Never combine MOBELI products with parts from other manufacturers. This will invalidate any warranty or
liability. Risk of accident!!!

3. Operation / assembly
3.1 Mounting (see page 9)
a. Push the quick lock of the joint holder with the joint (arrow left Fig. 8) in and insert it into the suction head
until it engages in the hole of the suction head (click noise). Then take the quick lock (right arrow) from the
1st position. Push in the handle bar and insert it into the joint holder.
b. Push in the quick lock of the 2nd handle bar and insert it into the joint (arrow Fig. 9).
c. Push in the quick-release latches of the handlebars and insert the handlebars into the suction heads
(arrows Fig. 10 a and b) until the quick-release latches are engaged in the holes.
Test the secure hold of the snap pins by trying to pull the components apart!
The grab handle must not be used if not all snap pins on both sides are securely locked!
3.2 Attaching / suction: (see page 8 and 9)
1. Examine the vacuum suction pads and the surface they are to be attached to.
2. Clean the surface thoroughly (fig. 1) so that it is clean (e.g. from etched lime sludge) and grease-free.
Likewise, the surface of the suction disc must be clean.
3. Firmly press the mobile grab handles onto the surface where they should be sucked on (figs. 3 to 5).
a. The tilting vacuum levers must be loose at this point.
b. It must be taken care that both rubber pads are always positioned with their full suction area on
the tiles or other surfaces so that no grouting line or tile joint (figs. 8 and 9) lies under a rubber pad
and the pads are attached at least 10 mm above the lower edge of a joint (fig. 2).
With the telescopic grip (order nos. ROTH order no.: 14002-21S,-22S,-1400222H2S,-
1400223H3S), you can adjust the length of the grip to achieve this (fig. 6 and 7).
4. While simultaneously pressing the handle and the toggle lever against the surface to be sucked in
(Fig. 2, 3, 4, 5),fold the toggle lever over. This is best done in the order A-B-C as shown in Figure 7. Swivel
to the desired position for C.
5. The vacuum safety indicators continuously monitor the current vacuum state.
After the rocker is pressed and turned, the red-coloured safety tab must be completely recessed flush
with the surface in the rocker (page 10, figs. 13 and 15)! In the course of time when the vacuum
decreases, the safety rockers will extend.
•If a red side edge of the safety tabs (figs. 14 and 16) has become visible, the grab bar must not be
used under any circumstances and must be reattached immediately!
•The clearer a red side edge of the tabs (figs. 14 and 16) can be seen, the lower is the actual
adhesive strength!
6. Check the vacuum safety indicator prior to any use. This can be felt by visually impaired or blind people. If
the vacuum safety indicator is not retracted (as just described), reattach the bar. If the indicator tabs are still
raised after the rocker has been turned and also are still sticking out after the tabs have been pressed, the
grab bar must be reattached (cf. malfunctions on page 7).
If this has not been achieved, do not use the bar under any circumstances!
3.3 Releasing:
1. Put a finger under the vacuum tilting lever in order to raise it; at the same time set your thumb on the
structured recess of the vacuum tilting lever to prevent a recoil effect. Caution! With wrong operation
there exists danger of squeezing.
2. Wait a little while! The rubber pads will relax after approx. 30–60 seconds and return to their original shape,
and then the suction device can be removed from the wall. Now the suction cup can be removed from the
wall. Should the rubber pads keep adhering longer, you can additionally raise the pads at one side
(between wall and rubber disc) with a finger so that air can penetrate underneath.
3. Do not try to loosen the rubber pads with sharp edged items or tools; you would damage them.
4. When not in use, store the mobile grab handle with the rubber pads relaxed (i.e., with vacuum tilting levers
disengaged), flat and plane. Protect your mobile grab handle (e.g. in the box) from UV rays.
3.4 Disassembling (see page 9)
Push the snap pins in (fig. 10) and while holding the suction housing, pull the telescopic bar out of it. Store
the suction housings with the tilting levers pointing upward on a flat surface.
Now (if desired) the joint holder with joint can also be dismantled (Figs. 8 and 9)

5. Maintenance
5.1 Maintenance (cleaning/disinfection):
•Clean the handle with a cloth using standard household detergents such as soapy water, but do not use
abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents. Do not use thinner or petrol and do not use detergents that attack
plastics.
•Rinse the handle thoroughly with warm water until all soap and foam residues have been removed. (Otherwise
rust can adhere to the stainless-steel parts.)
•Keep the rubber pad always free from oil, dust, and dirt by rinsing with warm water and then drying with a lint-
free cloth.
•A basic cleaning with our special cleaner (order no. 1400677) or isopropyl alcohol will increase the suction
effect and is recommended in larger time intervals (dependent on the frequency and conditions of use, e.g. after
use of bath additives containing oil).
Use these cleaning agents only on the rubber pads but never on the plastic parts.

•Disinfect the product by wiping all surfaces with a cloth with disinfectant.
•In a medical environment, also refer to the "Recommendations of the Commission for Hospital Hygiene and
Infection Prevention" on the website of the Robert Koch Institute www.rki.de.
•The grab handle is resistant to the active agents in the hand and surface disinfectants certified by the DGHM
(Disinfection Commission of the German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology) with the exception of phenol
ether, pyridine derivative, and thiocyanate.
•Only alcoholic disinfection without re-fattening component may be used for the rubber discs.
5.2 Maintenance (service):
•If the handle has been attached to the wall for a prolonged period of time, the rubber discs will overstretch. We
therefore recommend that you remove the handle from the wall approx. every 14 days and leave it overnight on
a flat surface with the rubber washers relaxed, then reattach it the next morning.
•Examine the rubber pads for possible functional deterioration because of reduced elasticity due to age, wear,
exposure to sunlight, uneven storage, scoring, etc.
If the rubber pads are damaged and therefore the adhesive strength is limited, the complete suction heads
(spare part no. 14002S) are to be replaced or the rubber pads (spare part no. 1402721) must be exchanged by
trained specialist staff.
•Keep the vacuum safety indicator always free from dirt!!
•Check the handle regularly for damage and do not use the handle under any circumstances if it is
damaged.
6. Recognizing and remedying malfunctions
Malfunctions
Possible causes of
malfunctions/test
Corrective measures
With new handle: safety
indicator pops up after a
short time
Lime or other dirt on the surface.
Clean the surface thoroughly.
The surface is not non-porous even if it
looks smooth, or it is damaged (e.g. hairline
crack in the tile).
Possible test procedure: Attach the handle
to a glass pane or mirror and pay attention
to the safety indicator.
If now the safety indicator does not move
any more, the fault is in the substrate.
If possible, attach the handle at another location
where the underground is non-porous.
If this is not possible, self-adhesive stainless-steel
plates (order no. 1461414) to which the handles can
be attached can be glued on. See accessories.
With older handle: safety
indicator pops up after a
short time
Rubber discs scratched or damaged.
If there is damage, the rubber discs (order no.
1402721) can be replaced by a specialist dealer or
the complete suction head (order no. 14002S) can
be replaced.
Indicator rocker is still
slightly raised after
mounting
1. Toggle lever not firmly pressed down
before turning over!
Attach the handle again while beforehand pressing
the rocker arm firmly down. (Page 8 fig. 3 arrow 2)
2. The rubber pad is overstretched.
This happens when the handle has
been attached to the wall for a long
time.
Store the handle overnight on a flat surface with the
rocker arm pointing upwards. (Page 9 fig. 12). Attach
again the next day while beforehand pressing the
rocker arm firmly down. If the mounting rocker still
protrudes after pressing it in, the rubber discs (order
no. 1402721) must be replaced by a specialist dealer
or the complete suction head (order no. 14002S)
must be replaced.
7. Disposal:
The product packaging should be recycled.
The metal parts can be recycled as scrap metal.
Disposal must be carried out according to the respective national statutory regulations.
Please ask your local or communal authority about local disposal facilities.
These ROTH mobile grab handles may not be exported to the U.S. (cf. U.S. version).
