SECTION 12—DISASSEMBLING/ASSEMBLING THE M71
Assembling the Wheelchair
CAUTION
When reassembling the base frame be sure that the motor, battery and joystick leads are positioned away from any of the three side frame attachment points (FIGURE 12.2) and the four seat frame attachment points (FIGURE 12.2) - otherwise pinched cables could result. It is recommended that the cables from the controller are draped over the front of the shroud (FIGURE 12.1) and tuck the motor leads (from each side frame) behind the rear spring in the side shroud (FIGURE 12.1).
