3.2 Mounting the Raised Toilet Seat

1. Lift your existing toilet seat and lid.
2. Position the base mounting strip of the TSE 120 Plus over the toilet bowl, aligning it with the existing toilet seat hinge holes.
3. Utilize the innovative top mounting mechanism to secure the seat. This typically involves tightening knobs or levers from above the seat, which expand fasteners into the toilet bowl's hinge holes. Ensure these are tightened firmly but do not overtighten.
4. Height Adjustment: The TSE 120 Plus offers a three-position height adjustment. Before fully securing, adjust the height to the desired level by manipulating the adjustment points on the side or rear of the seat. Ensure both sides are set to the same height for stability.

Using the Raised Toilet Seat TSE 120 Plus is straightforward once installed.

• Lid Operation: The integrated lid features a recessed grip, making it easy to lift and close.
• Armrest Use: The non-slip armrests can be folded up or down as needed. When using the armrests for support, ensure they are fully locked in the down position. To fold them up, gently lift and pivot them upwards until they lock into the raised position, providing clear access for transfers.
