Attach armrest

  2. Insert the screw through the stand, upper shaft, and armrest. Tighten the screw carefully.
  3. With the velcro side facing upwards, thread the armrest strap through both slots in the armrest. Ensure the end of the strap will be fastened outwards from your arm.

Connect coil

  1. Wrap the coil cable around the lower and middle shaft enough times to take up the slack, but so the coil can still tilt without restriction.
  2. Use the velcro tabs provided to secure the coil cable against the shaft.
  3. Align the coil connector and plug into the socket in the back of the control unit, tightening the retaining ring.
