INTRODUCTION Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of the PTA (POWER TOILET AID). We believe using the PTA will assist you in your everyday life and enhance your outlook on life. Read complete manual before assembly and use of the Power Toilet Aid

GENERAL INFORMATION The Power Toilet Aid (PTA) is designed for individuals with musculo-skeletal or neuromuscular limitations due to disease or injury. The PTA will help reduce stress on the knee and hip joints and is safe and comfortable for the user. Another benefit of the PTA is reduced potential of back injuries among attendants caused by lifting patients. The PTA is easy to use, a lift switch is mounted for finger tip control on the left or right side handle bar. When fully extended the PTA will lift the seat up to13” above the existing toilet height. The PTA is also great for traveling, it is collapsible into a 9”x 40”x22” package and will adapt to most standard toilets in minutes. The battery operated unit is made of steel tubing for strength and durability and will lift up to 400 lbs. You can use your own toilet seat with the PTA and still lift the seat for easy cleaning. The Unit is shipped complete (76 lbs. UPS) and requires only a few tools for installation. TOOLS NEEDED 1 – Flat Screwdriver 1 – Tape Measure 1 – 9/16” Open end wrench WARNING: Do NOT reverse direction of the motor, until the motor comes to a complete stop. Reversing the direction of the motor while running could damage the internal parts of the motor.
