Setup and Assembly
The GYMAX Toilet Safety Frame is designed for tool-free assembly. Follow these steps to set up your frame:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Ensure all frame sections, handles, clips, and foot mats are present.
- Assemble Base Frame: Connect the horizontal and vertical frame sections. Ensure the spring pins snap securely into place.
- Adjust Width: Position the frame around your toilet. Adjust the width of the frame by pressing the spring pins and sliding the horizontal bars to either the 22.5-inch or 24.5-inch setting. Ensure both sides are set equally.
- Adjust Height: Adjust the height of the legs by pressing the spring pins and sliding the lower leg sections to your desired height (between 25 and 30 inches). Ensure all four legs are set to the same height for stability.
- Attach Handles: Insert the padded handles into the top vertical frame sections. Ensure they are securely seated.
- Secure with Clips: Position the frame firmly against the toilet. Rotate the 360° clips to engage with the toilet bowl. The EVA cushions should protect the toilet surface. Tighten the clips to ensure a snug fit.
- Apply Bandage (Optional but Recommended): Use the provided bandage to further secure the connection between the frame and the toilet, enhancing overall stability. Wrap it around the frame and toilet as indicated in the product diagrams.
- Final Check: Before first use, gently test the frame's stability by applying downward pressure. Ensure there is no wobbling and all connections are firm.
