4.1. Frame Installation

1. Place the three seat panels upside down on a flat surface.
2. Connect the U-shaped frame pieces to the seat panels. Ensure the side frame with the armrest base is correctly oriented. Listen for the click as the pieces snap into place.
3. Align the backrest tubes toward the armrest side.

5. Use the two short bolts to fix the last seat pad to the frame.

4.2. Leg Attachment

1. Identify the leg tubes with large suction tips. These legs are designed to go inside the tub. Ensure stainless washers are added before screwing on the suction tips.
2. Slide each leg tube into the corresponding frame opening until the brass pin clicks into place. Listen for the click to confirm secure attachment.
3. Adjust the leg height by pressing the brass pin and sliding the inner tube to the desired height. Ensure all four legs are set to the same height for stability.

4.3. Armrest & Backrest Attachment

1. Snap the armrest into place on the side that will be inside the tub.
2. Insert the backrest supports into the designated holes on the seat panels. The backrest can be reversed to accommodate left or right-hand entry, depending on your tub's layout.
3. Attach the shower head clamp to the armrest for convenience.

4.4. Reversing Backrest Sides

If you need to change the orientation of the backrest and armrest:

1. Unscrew the 4 knobs under the seat to unlock the backrest tubes.
2. Remove the backrest.
3. Rotate the entire bench 180 degrees.
4. Re-insert the backrest tubes into the new front of the bench and re-tighten the knobs to lock them in place.
5. Re-attach the armrest to the appropriate side.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Locate the brass pin on each leg.
2. Press the brass pin inward.
3. Slide the inner leg tube up or down to the desired height.
