Using your Bobrick B-5192 shower seat is easy. First, make sure it's properly installed according to local building codes and firmly secured to the wall. When using, just unfold the seat and sit on it. It can support up to 500 lbs, but don't exceed this weight to avoid seat malfunction. If you notice that the seat isn't adequately secured to the wall, have the building owner or maintenance personnel remove it from service right away to prevent potential injury. To keep it in good condition, wipe it down regularly with a mild cleaner as it's made of water - resistant phenolic and stainless steel, which are durable materials.
