Slide the 1″ PVC pipe vertically into the seat section until the last vertical adjustable hole is exposed. The four wire lock pins fit into each fitting that accommodates the 1″ PVC pipe. The T fittings and the four four-way fittings take 1 wire lock pin each to secure the 1″ PVC pipe from moving.

3. Secure the 1″ PVC pipe with one 1″ stainless steel screw.

Assemble PVC Back Section
Add the PVC back to the rear section of the arms. Secure the PVC back into the female fitting with one each 1″ stainless steel screw.

Assemble Swing Gate

2. Facing the walker, insert the shorter pivot pole into the T fitting into the left side. Secure with one 1″ stainless steel screw.
