2. Loosen off the wing nuts holding the wing nuts holding the cleats in position (see fig. 2)
3. Turn the board over so that the slats are facing upwards.
4. Place the board over the bath traversing its width.
5. Reach underneath the board and push both cleats outwards evenly until they are gripping the wall of the bath.
6. Tighten off the wing nuts. N.B. It is only necessary to tighten the wing nuts finger tight. Do not over tighten them as this can cause the threaded brass insert to come  lose, which could cause the product to fail.
7. Double check the cleats are friction tight to the wall of the bath before use.

Always check the tightness of the board before each use
Always repeat the installation every time the board is removed
Always make sure the correct width of board is installed to suit the bath onto which it is to be fitted.

FITTING BATH SEATS

1. Firstly, ensure that the base of the bath is free from grease or any form of obstruction .and is perfectly clean.

2. Take the bath seat and dampen the four suction pads on the underside of the seat (see fig. 3).

3. Place the bath seat onto the base of the bath (normally at the opposite end to the taps) with the slats of the seat traversing the width of the bath.

4. Push down firmly on the flaps ensuring that all four flaps make full contact with the base of the bath (see fig. 4)

5. Check that the bath seat is secure by trying to lift the seat without disengaging the flaps
   Always check the tightness of the seat before each use
   Always repeat the installation every time the seat is removed

6. Should you wish to remove the bath seat for any reason, this can be done by simply lifting the ears of the 4 suction caps (see fig. 5), this will cause the suction to be  released. To refit, repeat the fitting instructions above.
   The bath seat can move sideways until downwards pressure is applied to the seat. It may, therefore, be advisable to transfer to the bath seat from a bath board.
