Using the ASI 3401 - 12 grab bar is easy. First, choose a suitable location on a wall where you need support. Then, use No. 10 self - tapping screws or oval head mounting screws (not included) to fix the grab bar through the predrilled holes in the flanges. Make sure to tighten the screws well for a secure installation. When using the grab bar, hold it firmly with your hand to keep your balance. For maintenance, simply wipe it with a soft, damp cloth regularly to keep its satin finish looking good. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface. And always check the screws periodically to ensure they are still tight and the grab bar remains stable.
