The locking screws must be released, otherwise it may not be possible to insert the back tubing properly.
Check that the back tubes are not jammed or skewed and that they are pushed in fully.

Place the armrests in the receivers provided on the base frame, by rotating the armrests to the front from below on their screw fixings.

The footrest receivers are located on the front frame tubes of the toilet chair.

1. Fold the footplates open.
2. Place the footrests on the side into the two guide bolts and swing inwards until they lock in place. If this does not happen immediately, try again while gently pressing the retaining mechanism (inner side of footrest hanger).
3. Mount the calf strap over the hooks.
