Step 1/ 6 : Removing Screw #1
This picture shows that the screw has been removed.
The removed screw has a spacer sleeve on it.
Remove that from the screw and place it somewhere safe - we will need this spacer to hold the cap in step ***.
Step 3/ 6 : Re-Inserting Screw #1
Screw #1 needs to be re-inserted so that the wheelchair seat cross-member does not shift out of alignment, which would prevent proper re-assembly
using screw #1 that we just removed the sleeve from - re-screw it into the same hole.
Make sure to leave out the cap when you screw it in.
Using the 3/16" hex key, screw #1 should be inserted as far as it can - to allow the insertion of the T-Nut.
The screw does not need to be torqued down tight, but the screw-head should sit relatively flush with the track
The rear-side of the rail should have the bolt threaded thru, ensuring the cross-member does not shift.
Step 4/ 6 : Removing the spacer sleeve on Screw #2
The spacer sleeve on Screw #2 needs to be removed so that the T-Nut can be inserted into the track.
Using the same 3/16" hex key, remove Screw #2 completely.
Remove the spacer sleeve and re-install screw #2.
Once screw #2 is re-inserted, both bolt heads should be relatively flat in the track
- allowing the insertion of the T-Nut.
Step 6/ 6 : Re-installing the cap
Remove Screw #1
Insert the spacer sleeve onto Screw #1
Insert the cap into the track,
Using the 3/16" hex key - attach the cap with Screw #1 (that has the spacer sleeve).
Done!
Congratulations!
You should now have a set-up that looks like this.The next step is to attach either more wheelchair mounting hardware (for offset and spacing) or a Wheelchair Bracket!
