Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Screw a hook (150022) onto each armrest with screw 101084.
One hook and one screw per armrest. Use the Phillips screwdriver.

Not the short studs 151907 — see the info box in step 2.
Step 3
Lower the seat section onto the 4 rods.
Underside towards you — the rods go through the holes in its back rail.
Step 4
Fit a flange nut (114254) on each rod.
Tighten the 4 nuts with the box spanner (120202).

Hook both armrests into the slots at the ends of the back frame.
Push them on until they are flush at the bottom — see the info box in step 5.
