Using the Bobrick B - 5181 shower seat is easy. When not in use, it folds up against the wall. To use it, just pull the top of the seat away from the wall. The spring at the top of the baseplate holds it in the upright position. The mounting flanges and guide bracket let you adjust the mounting height and keep the floor clear for cleaning. Here are some important notes. First, safety comes first. The seat is only as strong as the anchors and the wall it's attached to. So, firmly secure it to the wall according to local building codes. If it's not properly secured, don't use it and remove it from service. Also, never use it to support weights over 360 lbs. (163 kg) to avoid malfunction and potential injury. For maintenance, the non - porous solid phenolic seat is easy to clean. You don't need to oil it, and it won't support bacteria growth. Just wipe it down regularly. If you need to reverse the seat, you can do it either before or after installation on the wall. Just remove the carriage bolts and acorn nuts, turn the seat over, and reinstall them. Remember to support the square frame tubes when doing this to prevent separation.
