NOTE: When servicing seating with swivel return cylinders, check
to ensure that the arm yoke is aligned properly with the base. The
arm yoke should be aligned evenly between the “X” angle of the
base legs, as noted below.
1.If the yoke is not in alignment with the base and removal is
necessary, stand at the back of the chair and place both feet on
the outer ends of the nearest base legs.
2.Grasp both ends of the arm yoke and pull up while rocking the
yoke side to side, to dislodge it and the cylinder from the base.
3. Disengage the yoke and cylinder from the base and then allow
this assembly to rest loosely in the base.
4.Tilt the base and yoke together, backwards, until it is resting
on two (2) of the base legs and the arm yoke ends, on the floor.
This will align the yoke properly with the base.
5.Hold the yoke and cylinder and strike the base with a soft blow
mallet to reseat the cylinder into the the base.

NOTE: To ease reassembly and avoid damaging any components,
it is recommended that two persons be present when reassembling
this product.
1.To install tube frame assembly, align the two (2) holes on each
mounting plate in the frame with the mounting holes in the arm yoke.
Use an awl type tool to align holes and loosly install the screws. Prior
to tightening screws, adjust fabric evenly on the tube, then tighten all
four (4) screws. Make sure to secure the tube frame to the seat plate
with two (2) screws and branding badge and screws.
2 .To install the shell, begin by engaging the the upper most mounting
slots in the shell onto the upper most mounting lugs in the tube frame.
Work the shell, side to side, and force it down to engage the lower
mounting lugs and slots. Check to ensure the shell is completely and
evenly seated onto the tube frame. Make any required adjustments to
ensure the fabric on the tube frame is evenly dispersed. Install two (2)
screws to secure the front of the shell to the tube frame.
3. To install the seat cushion, begin by aligning the locating tabs at the
front of the cushion with the front of the seat plate. Rotate the cushion
back and engage the retaining tab with the slot near the back of the seat
plate. One installer must sit on the cushion to fully contact it with the seat
plate,
while the second installer secures the cushion with four screws.
Ensure that the fabric on the tube frame is evenly dispersed.
