To use this grab bar, first find a suitable location on a wall. Make sure the wall can support the weight. Line up the holes in the flanges with the spots on the wall where you want to install it. Use No. 10 self - tapping or oval head mounting screws (you'll need to buy these separately) to secure the grab bar. Tighten the screws well to ensure it's stable. When using the grab bar, hold it firmly. Avoid putting too much sudden force on it. For maintenance, clean it regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Wipe it dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and keep its satin finish looking great. If you notice any damage or loose parts, check the screws and make sure everything is secure. This grab bar is built to last, but proper care will help it serve you well for a long time.
