Etac Flex can be mounted in different posi-
tions. The additional handle can be mounted
at angles of 22.5° between 0 and 90°. Etac
Flex can be extended by an unlimited number

Mounting options
Etac Flex has been designed to withstand a
maximum user weight of 100 kg (220 lbs)
and should only be mounted onto a wall with
sufficient load-bearing capacity.
Glue: The glue kit can be used to mount the
handle on tiles, glass, stone or metal walls.
Inspect the surface to be sure it is completely
flat at all fastening points. The bar should not
rock or have gaps between the base and the
wall.
If in doubt about the wall's load-bearing
capacity or the suitability of mounting with
glue, an assessment should be carried out by
a qualified person.
Cleaning prior to mounting ................
F1-F5. Cleaning: Ensure that limescale deposits
F1. Use a sanding sponge with sandpaper sur-
face (80). Clean the mounting surface using
the sponge and a detergent (PH 5-9) suitable
for the surface. Ensure that the surface
is completely free of limestone residues
and dirt. Note! Start by testing the sanding
sponge with detergent on a less visible area
to ensure that the surface is not scratched.
F2. Wipe off and dry the surface.
F3. Wash the surface with the wet wipe supplied
to remove any residues from the detergent
(the alcohol cleaning cloth should only be
used for its intended purpose. It can only
work adequately if opened directly before
Figure A
use).
F4. Wipe the surface with a clean, lint-free cloth.
F5. Wait until the surface is completely dry and
has had time to adapt to room temperature.
If you are not sure, wait for 15 minutes.
Other cleaning methods may be required to
ensure that the mounting surface is clean.
