WARNING

•

DO NOT install this equipment without first reading and understanding this instruction sheet. If you are unable

to understand the warnings, cautions and instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or technical

personnel if applicable, before attempting to install this equipment - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

•

ALWAYS check the tub bar for proper tightness before using.

•

Hold the tub bar securely when entering or exiting the bath tub.

•

DO NOT use the upper gripping position (handle) of the tub bar when lowering or raising yourself into or

out of the bathtub. The upper gripping position (handle) is NOT designed to support an individual's total

weight. Pushing or pulling the upper gripping position (handle) in a sideways motion will loosen the tub bar

from its secured position and may cause injury.

•

ALWAYS observe the weight limit on the labeling of your product. Check that all labels are present and

legible. Replace if necessary.

•

Apply downward force on the lower gripping position only when lowering or raising yourself into or out of

the bathtub.

•

Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with Invacare

accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested by Invacare and are not

recommended for use with Invacare products.

•

After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure that all attaching component parts are secure.

•

Bathtub construction varies and this product may not be appropriate for use on all bathtub styles. Bathtubs

with sloped inner walls may not provide the tub bar sufficient holding ability. Given this condition the

assembly can become dislodged during use. After installation, verify that the device holds as expected.

ALWAYS verify that the device is secure prior to use.

•

DO NOT use this device on bathtubs with lipped walls.

•

Ensure that inside and outside area of bath tub wall where tub bar will be placed is clean and dry. Otherwise,

once installed, the tub bar may not be fully secure to the tub wall and cause injury to the user.

•

DO NOT overtighten gripping device. Instability to the tub bar and/or bath tub damage can occur.
