4. Measure the approximate distance from the
center of the axle receiver to the slot where the
pin seats in the latch (Figure #2). Please note that
it may be necessary to find other more suitable
places to mount the pin latch mechanism. This
is most common on folding chairs where there is
less space available. Please refer to our installation
videos at www.rowheels.com for detailed instruc-
tions.

3. Loosely install the universal frame clamp (14) and the
pin latch mechanism (12) with the two frame clamp bolts
(15) so that the clamp will not fall off, but can move freely
along the frame tube. There may be a need to adjust the
placement of the seat straps or other accessories to make
room for the clamp (Figure #3). Rotate the pin latch
mechanism by loosening the set screw (16) so that the pin
sits properly as seen in Figure #4.
*Move seat straps to position universal frame clamp

5. (Refer to table on page 5 for part location). Slide the wheel axle (7) partially
into the axle receiver of the chair. With the axle in place, locate the torque arm
pin in the pin receiver slot (13) of the pin latch mechanism. Finish pushing the
axle into the axle receiver until the quick release balls are fully engaged.
Verify that the t-handle release knob is easily accessible and does not interfere
with any other parts of the chair. The universal frame clamp should be adjusted
and mounted to the frame such that the pin sufficiently extends through the slot
and is also able to swing freely for latching.
In order to have smooth engagement between the torque arm pin (9) and the
pin latch mechanism, the angle between the flat face of the pin receiver slot and
the torque arm pin should be as close to parallel as possible. To adjust the angle,
loosen the set screw (16) and rotate the pin latch mechanism until the correct
angle is achieved. Tighten the set screw after the parts have been adjusted.
The torque arm pin should sit snugly between the pin latch mechanism and
the flat area on the pin receiver slot (Figure 4). If the frame clamp is not close
enough to the torque arm pin, the pin may rattle. To reduce rattling, move
the frame clamp along the frame of the chair closer to the axle receiver. By
moving the frame clamp closer to the torque arm pin, it may become more
difficult to remove the wheel. If it does become more difficult, use the release
knob to disengage the latch before attempting to remove the wheel.
