D. Out of the Box Assembly Instructions

When unpacking a new Fuze wheelchair, you will need to assemble the 

armrests (T-style version only) and front rigging to complete the setup.

1. Install the T-style arm assemblies by inserting the metal locking

tab into the arm receivers on the chair (see Section 5-D for detailed

instructions).

2. Install the swing-away front rigging by inserting the front rigging

assembly at 90º to the chair, into the front rigging mount and swiveling

the front rigging forward to an in-line position with the wheelchair (see

Section 5-A for detailed instructions).

E.  Inspection

1. Examine the exterior of the PDG wheelchair for nicks, dents, scratches,

or other damages. Inspect all components. If damage is evident, notify

your Dealer/Carrier immediately.

F.  Storage

1. Store the repackaged PDG wheelchair in a dry area.
2. DO NOT place other objects on top of the repackaged wheelchair.
