**INSTALLATION
**
WARNINGS
- Do not use or install this product unless you read and understand these warnings and assembly instructions to ensure the product is properly installed and used. If installer/user(s) are installing this product in a nursing home, assisted living center, or a similar facility, follow these and the facilities installation policies. If you have any questions regarding the installation, use, associated risks, or anything at all regarding this product call Stander Inc. at (800) 506-9901 or (435) 755-0453.
- Improper installation of this product significantly increases the risk of falls. This pole product secures between the floor and ceiling. Since there are many different types of floor and ceiling conditions, it is up to the installer and/or user of this product to determine if the product can be safely installed.
- IMPORTANT: The pole can become loose (not properly secured between floor and ceil) as a result of the myriad of conditions. It is the installer and/or users responsibility to periodically check and secure the pole between the floor and ceiling with the included wrench. Do NOT discard included wrench.
- Do NOT install product on angled ceilings, suspended ceilings, or any other type of ceiling that would not allow the product to be properly secured between a floor and ceiling. The pole must be installed perpendicular to the floor and ceiling. All protective rubber pads should engage the ceiling and floor with an equally distributed force.
- Do NOT install pole product on ceiling heights less than 7 feet or greater than 10 feet.
- Do NOT install the pole product on a platform or any other surface that is raised off the floor. If you have questions, it is the installer/user(s) responsibility to call Stander Inc. at (800) 506-9901 or (435) 755-0453. Do not install this product if you are not sure the product can be properly secured.
- Floor conditions also affect the ability to install the product securely. Do NOT install the product on rugs or any other moveable objects. Do NOT install the product on floor conditions that would allow the base of the pole to slide or slip. If the base of the product moves after installation, the product is not safe to use.
- This product is not intended to be placed inside a bathtub or inside a shower.
- The Security Pole uses a spring loaded pin that allows the handle to rotate and lock into several user positions. Make sure that the rotating handle is in a locked position before using the product. If the rotating handle is not locked before using, the user may fall and serious injury or harm could result.
- IMPORTANT: If installing the pole product next to a bed, couch, toilet, or any other object, Stander Inc. recommends NOT installing product closer than the user(s) ability to safely walk around the pole or there may be a possibility of becoming entrapped between the pole and the side of any object adjacent to the pole. Entrapment is a condition where an individual may become lodged between objects. The swivel handle must be taken into account when placing the pole next an adjacent object. In other words, the handle can rotate 360 degrees. The user(s) must be able to safely walk around the pole in every swivel handle position. It is the user(s) responsibility to ensure there is no possible way to become entrapped between the pole and/or pivoting handle and the side of any object adjacent to the pole. Since there are a myriad of user conditions, installer/user(s) should determine if the pole should be installed farther away from the side of a bed. If you have questions, it is the installer/user(s) responsibility to call Stander Inc. at (800) 506-9901 or (435) 755-0453.
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL CONDITIONS

Since these conditions are subjective and Stander Inc. has no control who chooses to use this product, it is the installer/user(s) responsibility to consult a physician before using this product.

Assembly Instructions
NOTE: This product is designed to be used with ceiling heights that range from 7 to 10 foot ceilings. All of the necessary parts are included in this package to accommodate 7, 8, 9, and 10 foot ceilings. (ITEM-2) is an adjustable Extension Tube that must be used for 8, 9, and 10 foot ceiling heights.
NOTE: (ITEM-2 will have non-painted area exposed.
Determine where you plan to use this product and the height of the ceiling
before continuing the assembly process.
-
Take all parts out of the box and lay them on a flat surface as shown in Figure 1.
-
If you have a 7 foot ceiling, do not use Extension Tube (ITEM-2). Attach the Upper Frame (ITEM-1) directly to ITEM-3 by aligning the holes in ITEM-1 and ITEM-3 and inserting the Clevis Pin (ITEM-6) through the holes. After the Clevis Pin is inserted, place the Cotter Pin (ITEM-7) through the hole of the Clevis Pin as shown in Figure 2.
-
If you have an 8 to 10 foot ceiling, attach the Upper Frame (ITEM-1) to the Extension Tube (ITEM-2) by aligning the holes and inserting the Clevis Pin and Cotter Pin as shown in Figure 2.
-
The Extension Tube (ITEM-2) has 3 sets of holes marked “8 Foot Height Hole”, “9 Foot Height Hole”, and “10 Foot Height Hole” as shown in Figure 1. Use the appropriate height hole that corresponds to the height of the ceiling this product will be installed.
-
For an 8 foot ceiling, align the Extension Tube (ITEM-2) hole marked “8 Foot Height Hole” (as shown in Figure-1) to (ITEM-3) and insert the Clevis Pin and Cotter Pin as previously done in Step 2.
-
For a 9 foot or 10 foot ceiling, align the Extension Tube (ITEM-2) with either the hole marked “9 Foot Height Hole” or “10 Foot Height Hole” (as shown in Figure-1) to (ITEM-3) and insert the Clevis Pin and Cotter Pin as previously done in Step 2.
-
Attach Base Plate (ITEM-5) to Handle Tube (ITEM-4), as shown in Figure 1, by aligning the slots in Handle Tube (ITEM-4) with the internal pin in Base Plate (ITEM-5) so the slots straddle the internal pin to prevent rotation as shown in Figure 3.
-
Insert the threaded portion of ITEM-3 into ITEM-4 and place the Safety Pole in the desired location with ITEM-5 on the floor and ITEM-1 on the ceiling.
NOTE: Make sure the Plastic Washer (ITEM-11) is placed between the Adjustment Nut (ITEM-8) and the Washer (ITEM-9) as shown in Figure 1 before inserting ITEM-3 into ITEM-4. -
To secure the pole between the floor and the ceiling, the Adjustment Nut (ITEM-8) must be tightened in a clockwise direction with the included wrench (Item not shown). Tighten the lower Adjustment Nut until the pole is secured between the floor and the ceiling.
WARNING: After the pole is secured between the floor and ceiling, check the length of exposed threaded area. Do NOT install if the length of exposed thread is longer than 11 inches.
WARNING: If the pole does not appear to be securely fastened between the floor and ceiling, loosen the Adjustment Nut (ITEM-8) and make sure the length of the Safety Pole is perpendicular to the floor and ceiling before tightening the Adjustment Nut (ITEM- 8) again as previously done in Step 8.
Slight movement of the pivoting handle is normal and safe. This movement allows the locking pin to easily lock into 8 user friendly positions. Pull the pin and rotate the curved handle. Release the handle and continue to rotate the curved handle until the spring loaded pin locks the handle into the desired position.
(OPTIONAL) INSTALLATION USING SCREWS
When the pole is installed properly there should be no movement between the Base Plate (Item-5) and the floor, or the Upper Frame (Item-1) and the ceiling when in use. It is important to inspect the pole frequently to ensure the pole does not move.
Since there are many unforeseeable conditions (conditions where the pole may
move or become loose), Stander Inc. has provided the installer/user(s) an
option to anchor the product to the floor and ceiling using the included
screws (Item-10).
The Upper Frame (Item-1) has two holes spaced 16 inches apart to align with
the wood ceiling joists. It is important that the screws pass through the
Upper Frame holes and are secure into the wood ceiling joists as shown in
Figure 4.
Tile floor conditions: If the Base Plate (Item-5) is to be mounted to a
ceramic tile floor, holes must first be drilled through the tile only before
using the wood screws. Place the wood screws through the Base Plate holes and
secure them into the wood floor as shown in Figure 5.
Linoleum or carpeted floors: If the Base Plate (Item-5) is to be mounted on
either Linoleum or carpeted floors, place the wood screws through the Base
Plate holes and secure them directly into the wood floor as shown in Figure 5.
