right into place. Do not litt the chair by the upper struc-
ture, although the chair may be tipped or slid by pushing
or pulling the upper structure.

Remove allwrappings. Onlythe headrest has been

2.2.1. Chair Cushions
The cushions on the back and seat of the chair are
identical. To vary stress points/wear patterns on the
upholstery, it may be desirable to periodically reverse
the cushions (back to seat, seat to back).
2.2.1. Mounting the Headrest
Remove the back cushion assembly by pulling
straight out from the chair. The seat cushions are both
attached with velcro strips. This will permjt access to the
seat-back. Slide the pivot bracket on the headrest into
the slot in the top of the back cover (Figure 1), and into
the bracket mounted under the chair back cover. lf the
pivot bracke't does nol drop in smoothly, the mounting
screw (slightly o{f-center in the chair back) may need to
be backed out 10 allow the bracket to fit. This screw is a
socket head set screw which requires a 1/8 hexagon key
allen wrench (included in the tool packet shipped with Y/
the chair) to loosen. When the bracket has been in-
stalled, tighten the screw until it is snug. Replace the
back cushion.
