DF548
REV 12/09/15
Read all instructions and warnings prior to beginning installation of
this Assist Bar. Save this instruction booklet for future reference.
WARNING To reduce the likelihood of injury, thoroughly read
and understand all safety information and instructions provided in
this instruction booklet. If you are unable to understand any of the
safety information and/or installation instructions, contact a
professional for assistance before attempting to install.
SAFETY INFORMATION FOR INSTALLATION
WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! CUTTING OR DRILLING
INTO ELECTRICAL CORDS OR CABLES CAN CAUSE DEATH, SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY AND FIRE! ALWAYS make certain area behind
mounting surface is free of electrical wires and cables before drilling or
installing fasteners. Proper installation is extremely important. If in
doubt, installation should be done by a qualified professional.
WARNING To avoid injury to eyes, wear safety glasses during
installation of Assist Bar.
WARNING To help reduce the likelihood of serious injury, read
and comply with all safety information and instructions. Assist Bar
may not provide the designed amount of support unless these
installation instructions are strictly followed.
• Assist Bar was designed and tested for interior bathroom use.
Assist Bars add security for bath and commode areas if attached as
instructed. Location, size and angle of bars should be determined
by a qualified professional to provide optimum safety and function.
This Assist Bar can be installed in the bathing area. For placement
recommendations, please visit www.LibertyHardware.com.
• Both ends MUST be secured to a wall stud. If that’s not possible,
use only a Delta Hollow Wall Anchor (sold separately), DF548
(pictured to the left), or other wall anchor designed for Assist Bar
installation is used. DO NOT use plastic anchors, toggle bolts, or
similar devices. If a wall anchor must be used, the safest practice
is to have one side of the assist bar attached to a wall stud.
• At least two (2) of the three (3) screws on each end of the Assist Bar
MUST go through the wallboard or tile and be tightly secured into
the wall stud or wood blocking, unless a wall anchor is used.
• If using the Delta Hollow Wall Anchor (DF548), three anchors per
side MUST be used.
SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USE OF ASSIST BAR
WARNING This Assist Bar can provide support and increased
stability for an individual weighing up to 300 pounds. Assist bars are
NOT designed to support the total weight of an individual. To reduce
likelihood of falling serious injury due to failure of Assist Bar:
• Use Assist Bar for assistance ONLY.
• DO NOT stand, sit, or step on Assist Bar.
• DO NOT use Assist bar as a step or platform to reach area above the tub.
WARNING Falls can cause a serious injury. To reduce that risk:
• Grasp the Assist Bar when exiting or entering the bathtub or when
sitting down or rising from the commode.
• Use caution on wet tub or floor surfaces. Wet tub or floor surfaces
increase the risk of a fall.
• Supervise and/or assist users with limited physical capabilities in
bath and commode areas, even when using Assist Bars.
• DO NOT use Assist Bar if any looseness is noted. After ANY
adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure that all
attaching hardware is securely tightened.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Use of mild soap and water ONLY is recommended for cleaning.
• Periodically inspect the assist bar for damage or looseness.
