Instructions for use
Installation of product
The following instructions describe how to assemble and mount the toilet lifter, as well as optimal placement of water and drain, based on whether the toilet lifter with floor drain or wall drain has been purchased.

It is recommended to always place the water connection as shown below. In
case of deviations, it’s recommended to place the water within the hatched
area.

Construction
Note!

Installation of accessories
Installation of height adjustable toilet support arms
a. Attach housing to the profile with 3x M6x12 and 1x M6x16. Use a
locking nut on M6x16.

d. Test the toilet support arms in the horizontal direction. If they can
twist significantly, dismount the assembly and leave <5mm between the
underside of the screw head to the plastic cover. There should be no clearance
between the aluminum bracket and plastic cover. Adjust until the support arms
are properly fastened.
