Back Assembly Instructions
1. Remove back assembly and chair frame from carton.
NOTE:
"Heat Only" and "Heat & Massage" chairs. AVOID disconnecting any "chair to back" wires.
NOTE:
Make sure the footrest is in closed position before installing the back.
2. Lock all casters on the chair base (see Lock/Unlock Casters page 12).
3. Remove
ALL
sets of clevis and bow-tie cotter pins located on the bottom left and right forks of the back frame
and on the operator of the gas cylinder.
DO NOT LOSE THESE PARTS, YOU WILL NEED THEM AGAIN
(FIG. 1).
4. Position the back frame forks over the seat frame rails and align holes
(FIG. 1)
.
HELPFUL HINT:
Align the holes on the lower back frame while allowing the upholstered back to rest on the
seat. This will help you steady the chair back. If possible, have someone help you hold the back assembly
while you install pins.
5. Align and insert the clevis pins (removed in step 4) through each back frame fork and corresponding hole
in the seat frame. NOTE: There are a total of
three (3)
pins on standard sized chairs and
four (4)
pins on XL
chairs.
•
The small hole in the clevis pin
MUST
be to the
INSIDE
of the chair
(FIG. 2)
.
»
MODELS 653 and 654 ONLY:
The clevis pin can only be installed with the small pin hole to the
OUTSIDE of the chair.
»
MODELS with "HEAT" or "HEAT & MASSAGE":
The wiring from the back should be positioned
between the back frame and the upholstered seat
(FIG. 2A).
DO NOT INSTALL WIRES BETWEEN BACK FRAME FORKS.
KEEP FINGERS AND HANDS CLEAR OF MOVING PARTS AND PINCH POINTS.
•
Make sure the clevis pin goes through the holes in the seat frame tube.
NOT UNDER THE SEAT FRAME
TUBE.
•
Insert bow-tie cotter pins into the small hole of each clevis pin
(FIG. 2B).
6. Align the gas cylinder operator holes between the seat frame bracket holes on the seat frame assembly. Install
the saved clevis pin through the aligned holes. Install the bow-tie cotter pin onto the clevis pin.
(FIG. 3).
Make sure all bow-tie cotter pins are securely inserted in all clevis pins and that the cable end is attached through
the slot of the gas cylinder operator. Failure to securely insert the bow-tie cotter pins into the clevis pin could cause
