where the ceiling surfaces are structurally sound. Recommended

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DETERMINE LOCATION OF GRAB BAR
Refer to Figure 1. The actual user of the e2™ trapeze should lie down
in bed in their normal resting position with their hands placed palms
down on their thighs. The grab bar will be mounted such that the strap
hangs directly down over the palms of the user as shown by "X". Hold
the trapeze handle under where the grab bar will go, with the upper rail
of the handle closest to the head of the bed. Ensure that the trapeze
handle is not too close to allow a comfortable sit up action.

The grab bar should also be installed so that it extends from the centre
of where the user will lie down to an area that they can slide the
trapeze when not in use, as shown in "Z" in Figure 1.

GRAB BAR INSTALLATION
Once the location is determined, mark the hole placement on ceiling.
It is necessary that both grab bar flanges are secured to joists in the
ceiling as shown below. In cases where this may not be possible (i.e.
one joist only), specialized fasteners must be used.

e2 TRAPEZE HANDLE INSTALLATION
Open the loop on the end of the trapeze strap, rotate the strap 180
degrees, and slide it on to the upper rail of the trapeze handle as
shown in Figure 2. Slide it past the grip and along the trapeze tube
until it reaches the top bend of the trapeze.

SETTING HEIGHT OF TRAPEZE HANDLE

1. Adjust the length of the strap to set the appropriate height of the
trapeze (when ones fingers can comfortably grasp around the bottom
rail of the trapeze when lying down in bed as shown by "Y" in Figure

1. This is done by pulling some slack through the cross pieces of the
strap buckle and pulling the buckle down to shorten the strap, or
sliding it up to lengthen the strap.

STRAP SLIDER INSTALLATION
Hook the strap slider to the ceiling grab bar with the open side facing
the foot of the bed, as shown in Figure 1.
