13.3 Make sure armrests are locked in position before entering or exiting chair.

14.0 CUSHIONS

15.0 FASTENERS

Many of the screws, bolts and nuts on this chair are special high-strength fasteners.
Use of improper fasteners may cause your chair to fail.
15.1 ONLY use fasteners provided by an authorized Gendron dealer.
15.2 Over or under-tightened fasteners may fail or cause damage to chair parts.

16.0 FOOTRESTS

If set too LOW, they may "hang up" on obstacles you can expect to find in
normal use. This may cause the chair to stop suddenly and tip forward.
