WARNING
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely. Otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable before using the recliner option. Ensure the spreader bar is attached and secured before using the 9000XT Recliner.

1.Rotate the jam nut clockwise and run the jam nut downward to the bottom of the threads.
2.Turn the swivel nut clockwise and run the swivel nut downward to the top of the jam nut.
NOTE: Turning the swivel nut clockwise will push the barrel end of the cable upward.

WARNING
When securing the release handle to the back tube mounting bracket, DO NOT overtighten the mounting screw. Overtightening the mounting screw will cause the release handle to jam when squeezed, and the recline mechanism will not disengage, possibly causing injury to the user and/or assistant or damage to the equipment.

NOTE: Tighten until snug fit. DO NOT overtighten.
