X. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS– POWER RECLINE
A. NOTES
Work Surface For Set-Up:
Use a flat surface, such as a table, to assemble, adjust and check your seating system.
This makes the steps easier and helps ensure a correct set-up.
Fasteners:
• Many of the screws and bolts on this seating system are special high-strength
(Grade 8) fasteners and may have special coatings.
• Many nuts are of the Nylock type. They have a plastic insert to help prevent loos-
ening.
• Only use screws, bolts and nuts provided by Sunrise.
a. Use of improper fasteners may cause the seating system to fail.
b. Over- or under-tightened fasteners may fail or cause damage to seating system parts.
c. If bolts or screws become loose, tighten them as soon as you can. Loose bolts or
screws can cause damage to other seating system parts causing them to fail.
d. Washers & Spacers:
• Note the position of washers and spacers before disassembly.
• To avoid damage to the frame, replace all washers and spacers when you reassem-
ble parts.
e. Torque Settings:
• A torque setting is the optimal tightening for a particular fastener. Use a torque
wrench that measures inch-pounds to secure screws, nuts and bolts on this seating
system.
• NOTE–
Unless otherwise noted, use a torque setting of 120 inch-pounds for all
fasteners.
