Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Join the two halves of the steel seat frame.
Push the ends of the back section into the seat section.
Step 2
Fix each joint with a screw (106917).
Use the Phillips screwdriver — one screw on each side.
Step 3
Pull the fabric onto the frame.
Start at the front of the seat and slide it up towards the top of the back.
Step 4
Fold the top flap over the frame and press it closed.
The grey strips on the flap hold it in place.
Step 5
Push the 4 dowels (101350) into the ends of the 2 rails.
Step 6 · manual step 5
Stand the rails on one side frame and lower the other side frame on.
The dowels go into the holes in the side frames.
Step 7 · manual step 6
Insert 2 barrel nuts (121118), then fix the rails with 2 long bolts (147065).
Align the barrel nuts with a flat screwdriver. Use 147065 here — not 147064.
Step 8 · manual step 7
Turn the frame over.
Step 9 · manual step 7
Insert 2 barrel nuts (121118) and 2 long bolts (147065) on this side.
Same as step 6.
Step 10 · manual step 8
Find the 4 bolt holes through the fabric and pierce it with an awl.
Two at the back, two at the front of the seat — feel for the holes in the tubes.
Step 11 · manual step 9
Stand the frame up and lower the seat in between the armrests.
Step 12 · manual step 9
Fix the seat with 4 bolts (147064) — two on each side.
Through the armrest ends and the front of the side frames. Tighten with the Allen key.
Step 13
Fit the cushion.
Pull it over the top of the back and tuck it in at the front of the seat (manual p. 11).
Tips & safety
- Check that all 8 bolts are tight. Tighten them with the Allen key (100001) — keep it for later.
