Using the ASI 3501 - 12P grab bar is simple. First, find a suitable location on the wall where you need support. Mark the positions of the holes on the wall through the predrilled holes in the flanges. Then, drill holes in the wall and insert the appropriate screws (not included). Attach the grab bar to the wall using the screws. Make sure it's firmly in place. When using the grab bar, hold it firmly with your hand to avoid slipping. For maintenance, clean the grab bar regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Wipe it dry with a soft cloth to keep its satin finish looking good. Don't use abrasive cleaners as they may damage the surface. Also, check the screws periodically to ensure they're still tight. If you notice any signs of damage or looseness, replace the grab bar or tighten the screws as needed.
