Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Screw 2 threaded studs (130646) into the seat by hand.
They go into the 2 holes at the back of the seat.
Step 2
Lower the backrest onto the 2 studs.
This takes two people.
Step 3
Fit a washer (100854) and a nut (100712) on each stud.
Turn the nuts on with the spanner (128632) but don’t tighten them yet — see the info box.
Step 4
Screw 3 threaded studs (130646) into each side frame.
6 in total, by hand, into the holes on the inside of the frames.
Step 5
Push a dowel (101350) into each side frame.
Step 6
Screw a connector bolt (100498) into each side frame.
Use the Phillips screwdriver.
Step 7
Stick a felt pad (10050334) under each of the 4 legs.
Step 8
Fit the first side frame onto the seat and backrest.
The studs go through the holes in the side of the backrest and seat.
Step 9 · manual step 8
Fix it with 2 washers (100854) and 2 nuts (100712).
From inside the backrest. Tighten with the spanner.
Step 10 · manual step 8
Fit the second side frame the same way.
Again 2 washers and 2 nuts inside the backrest.
Step 11 · manual step 9
Insert a cam lock (110837) on each side and turn it to lock.
Use the Phillips screwdriver.
Step 12 · manual step 10
Now tighten the 2 nuts at the bottom of the backrest.
Use the spanner until the nut sits tight on the washer — see the info box.
Step 13 · manual step 11
Open the 2 zips at the bottom of the back cover.
Step 14 · manual step 12
Through each opening, fit a washer and nut (100712).
Tighten them with the spanner (128632).
Step 15 · manual step 13
Close both zips.
Tips & safety
- Loose first, tight later The 2 nuts under the backrest stay loose until the side frames are on (steps 3 and 10).
- Work on a soft surface A rug or the flattened box protects the fabric and the wooden frames.
