Using the ASI 3501-24 grab bar is easy. First, gather your No. 10 self - tapping or oval head mounting screws. Then, align the predrilled holes in the flanges with the desired mounting surface and insert the screws to secure it. Make sure it's firmly in place. When using the grab bar, hold it firmly for support. As for maintenance, simply wipe it down with a mild cleaner regularly to keep the satin finish looking good and to prevent fingerprints. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. Also, check the mounting screws periodically to ensure they remain tight.
