ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

 (RE552)

Tools needed – two 7/16" wrenches, two 1/2" wrenches

IMPORTANT ASSEMBLY TIP:  Do not tighten any nut and bolt combina-

tions completely until all parts are assembled together! Finger tighten 

plus one turn of a wrench only! This will temporarily hold the lock nut on 

the bolt while helping alignment of all parts! After all parts are assembled 

together, all nut and bolt combinations must be completely tightened.

1.  Attach the seat frame weldment (CXR15) to the seat post (CXR14) using 

(2) provided 1/4-20 x 2-1/2” bolts, locknuts and (6 to 8) nylon washers. 

SEE FIGURE 3. DO NOT tighten all nuts and bolts completely!

 

NOTE: You may need to place 2 nylon washers between seat post 

upright and seat frame to take up necessary gap.

2.  Attach cable (48212) ends to the platform (CXR12) using (2) provided 

5/16-18 x 1-1/2” bolts, locknuts and steel washers. 

SEE FIGURE 4. 

You must now tighten all nut & bolt assemblies securely. Be sure 

not to over tighten or crush tubing when tightening!

 

NOTE: Using powder graphite lubricant during assembly of moving 

parts will help eliminate noise during use!

3.  If included, attach backpacking straps (48067) at desired location 

on platform. Fold strap in half.  Feed folded strap through platform 

mesh.  Feed the two loose ends of strap through folded loop and pull 

tight forming a cinch knot. 

SEE FIGURES 5A AND 5B. 

Feed straps 

through platform mesh and secure with provided tri-slide buckles.  

SEE FIGURES 5C

4.  Attach padded seat (48103) by feeding straps around the lower portion of 

seat frame. Feed the long strap through both metal tri-slides that are sewn 

to opposite side of strap. Wrap the long strap back around one tri-slide 

and through the second tri-slide and pull tight. 

SEE FIGURE 6.

 Repeat 

the same operation for the other seat strap. Adjust as needed to achieve 

desirable seat height. Excess strap can be tucked away using provided 

Velcro tabs under the seat. 

5.  Attach (2) provided 9" camo arm pads (48736) to upper portion of 

seat frame weldment by wrapping around tubing and attaching 

Velcro together.
