A. SET-UP

1. Fasteners

Use of improper fasteners may cause the chair to fail. Over or under-tightened fasten- ers may fail or cause damage to chair parts. If bolts or screws become loose, tighten them as soon as you can.

a.Many of the screws and bolts on this chair are special high-strength fasteners.

b.Many nuts are the Nylock type.They have a plastic insert to help prevent loosening.

c.ONLY use screws, bolts and nuts provided by an authorized supplier (or fasteners of the same type and strength, as indicated by the markings on the heads).

3.Washers & Spacers

a.Make a note of the position of washers and spacers before disassembly.

b.To avoid damage to the frame, position washers and spacers correctly when you reassemble parts.

Note on Torque Settings: A torque setting is the optimum tightening which should be made on a particular fastener. A torque wrench which measures in.-lbs should be used when tightening fastener on Breezy wheelchairs. Unless otherwise noted, use a torque setting of 50-65 in.-lbs. (5.6 -7.3 N.m) for all fasteners.
