1. Lift the skirt on the rear of the upholstered back. To make assembly easier, hold skirt up
with a small piece of tape to fully expose the knockdown brackets that are to be mated
to the two bayonet lugs on the recliner mechanism.

3. Carefully guide the upholstered back onto the mechanism, inserting both bayonet links
at the same time through the two cutouts located in the bottom of the back.
4. Push down firmly on the back until the recliner mechanism bayonet links are fully
engaged in the upholstered back knockdown brackets. The top of bayonet link should be
even with top of knockdown bracket, as shown above.
5. Once the back is properly seated on mechanism, insert the threaded knob through
bayonet link, knockdown bracket and steel tube (one on each side). Secure hand tight.
6. Remove tape and lower upholstery skirt. Secure back skirt with the skirt hook and loop
strips.
