Safety warnings and user tips

WARNING

Fasteners

•Many of the screws and bolts on this chair are special high-strength fasteners and may have special coatings.

•Many nuts are of the Nyloc type. Nylocs are single use fasteners and must be replaced when removed. They have a plastic insert to help prevent loosening.

•Only use screws, bolts and nuts provided by Sunrise.

1.Use of improper fasteners may cause the chair to fail.

2.Over or under-tightened fasteners may fail or cause damage to chair parts.

3.If bolts or screws become loose, tighten them as soon as you can. Loose bolts or screws can cause damage to other chair parts causing them to fail.

Washers and Spacers

•Note the position of washers and spacers before disassembly.

•To avoid damage to the frame, replace all washers and spacers when you reassemble parts.

Torque Settings

•A torque setting is the optimal tightening for a particular fastener. Use a torque wrench to secure screws, nuts and bolts on this chair.

NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, use a torque setting of 13.5Nm for all fasteners.

WARNING
