Removing the Bolster
Remove the Bolster (arm rest) by unscrewing its fasteners and lifting it off the front edge of the frame.
To remove the Bolster:
1
From underneath the Bolster, remove all Hex fasteners that secure it to the frame.
2
Pick up the Bolster using both hands. With Bolsters for larger systems (six or more chassis in width), get someone to help.
3
Lift the Bolster out of the receiving edge along the top-front edge of the frame, and set it aside.
Expanding a Bolster
If you are adding one or more chassis to an existing system, you must also expand the Bolster. The Bolster can be expanded by add-
ing an additional Bolster (two chassis in width, minimum) and combining it with the existing Bolster, or by replacing the existing
Bolster with a single new, larger Bolster. The way in which you can expand your Bolster is determined by the number of chassis
you are adding, and by the date that your system shipped from the factory.
• If you are adding two or more chassis, you can either add an additional Bolster extension or completely replace the existing
Bolster.
• If you are adding a single chassis to a Leg Frame system, or if your system shipped from the factory before July 2, 2014, you
must replace your existing Bolster. In addition, if your system shipped before July 2, 2014, you might also have to upgrade
your Extrusions (Beams) and Side Covers.
Contact your Avid S6 dealer, or Avid Customer Care for more information.
Have someone hold the Bolster in place while you remove the fasteners to prevent it from falling on you.
