the Gill 2, the Seat Unit should be removed from the wheelchair, by lifting both 
sides  of  the  Seat  Unit  which  will  enable  the  wheelchair  to  partially  fold, 
sufficient to lift the Seat Unit clear of the wheelchair. 

     At this stage, make any minor adjustments to the Clamp positions before fully    
     securing the Clamps sufficient to prevent any movement. 

CAUTION:  Ensure  the  Clamp  securing 
nuts  do  not  foul  the  Parking  Brake 
Mounts  or  front  Seat  Rail  Saddles  when 
tightening,  adjust  the  Clamp  or  Hook 
Bracket  positions  accordingly  if 
necessary before fully securing.

      Tubes, then around the outside of the  
      Tubes, finally to be connected centrally  
      by the Main Buckles as Fig.4. 
12. With Buckles connected, the Straps can  
      be tensioned by pulling the free-end

between the Backrest Tubes before fully    

                                                             tightening Straps.
