NOTES:
1. Work Surface For Set-Up:
Use a flat surface, such as a table, to assemble, adjust and check your chair/scooter. This
makes the steps easier and helps ensure a correct set-up.
2. Fasteners:
Many of the screws and bolts on this chair/scooter are special high-strength fasten-
ers and may have special coatings.
Many nuts are of the Nylock type. They have a plastic insert to help prevent loosening.

2. Over- or under-tightened fasteners may fail or cause damage to parts.
3. If bolts or screws become loose, tighten them as soon as you can. Loose
bolts or screws can cause damage to other parts causing them to fail.

Note the position of washers and spacers before disassembly.
To avoid damage to the frame, replace all washers and spacers when you reassemble
parts.
