3. Position the round lower frame tube underneath
the two semicircular clamp blocks and tighten
down the clamping knobs.
4. Install the left and right side plates into the slotted
seat rails with the blue pointer positioned at the

6. Lock the rear wheel castors.
7. Carefully lift the seat sensor panel (using the pro-
vided handle) and position the forward locking clips
under the front horizontal support bar. Make sure
the rear rubber bumpers are seated forward of the
rear horizontal support bar (Figure 4). The seat
sensor panel is not overly heavy (46 pounds) but
its overall size (25" x 32" x 9") can make handling
the unit somewhat awkward until the process of
assembly has been practiced a few times. Please
be cautious and practice good body mechan-
ics when lifting this component into place.

8. Carefully lift the back sensor panel and place the
backs pivot pins into the side plate receiving
notches (Figure 5). This may require two people
as the back sensor is slightly larger and heavier
than the seat. Use the provided handles and once
again practice good body mechanics.
