WARNING!
Use of HEWI shower and bath grab rail
The HEWI shower and bath grab rail is designed to withstand a maximum static working load
of 150 kg. Do not use this support rail for weights in excess of this. Any non-compliance with
loading limits can cause permanent damage to the support rail. In such cases, the support
rail must be examined by an specialised company prior to the support rail being used again.
If in doubt, contact HEWI's after-sales service team (sanitary) on tel. +44 1634 258200 (UK),
+49 5691 82-0 (International) for further assistance.
An additional wall fixing will be required for the use of an removable hanging seat if the
horizontal rail is longer than 1200 mm. The distance between the two supports should not
exceed 850 mm.
Only use the HEWI shower and bath grab rail in the manner described in the instructions.
Any improper use e.g. as a gymnastic apparatus or climbing aid can cause an accident with
persons potentially suffering serious injury.
Assuming normal use, the support rail is of a flexible nature thanks to the materials used in
its manufacture. This flexibility reduces the risk of injury if anyone bumps into the support
rail. The fact that the support rail bends to a certain extent under load is normal. Should
however the support rail become permanently deformed, you should immediately contact
the company appointed to carry out maintenance work or HEWI's after-sales service team
(sanitary) on tel. +44 1634 258200 (UK), +49 5691 82-0 (International).
Installation of HEWI shower and bath grab rail
The smooth and safe functioning of the HEWI shower and bath grab rail largely depends
on its correct fixing to the given wall, which is why this work should only be entrusted to
a licensed contractor (sanitary fitter). Serious impairment to the support rail's proper func-
tioning can occur if its installation is not carried out professionally, potentially resulting in
accidents with persons suffering serious injury. This is why we advise you not to install the
support rail yourself.
When the licensed contractor mounts the HEWI shower and bath grab rail, he should ensure
that the entire area of the wall to which the wall mounting plate is to be fitted is flat (no projec-
ting joints or tiles sticking out), that the structure of the wall is suitable for the installation of
the support rail and has no weak points. Only use fixing materials approved for this purpose
by the anchor/rawlplug manufacturer. If in doubt, contact HEWI's after-sales service team
(sanitary) on tel. +44 1634 258200 (UK), +49 5691 82-0 (International) for further assistance.
