Swing Away Armrest
(TR and YR Series 2 after October 2010)
To swing away the armrest, lift the armrest and rotate the armrest away from the chair. See Figure 5-4. Make sure to
lift the armrest until the armrest saddle is above the notch on the receiver.
To replace the armrest, rotate the armrest back towards the chair and gently push it down into place. See Figure 5-4.
Make sure the armrest saddle is in the notch on the receiver.
Note:
The Swing Away Armrests pivot on nylon sleeves, located inside the receiver. If the armrest does not rotate
properly, remove the armrest, clean the armrest and inside the receiver thoroughly. If this does not solve the problem,
check the nylon sleeves for wear.
