rest receiver bracket. See figure 14.
2. Loosen the knobs.
3. Slide the armrests in or out to the desired width.
4. Tighten the knobs.
Armrest Angle Adjustment
To change the armrest angle:
1. Lift the armrest straight up so that it is perpendicular to
the floor. See figure 14.
2. Loosen the jam nut.
3. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to raise the front of
the armrest, or turn the adjusting screw counterclock-
wise to lower the front of the armrest.
4. Tighten the jam nut to lock the adjusting screw into place.
Controller Position
You can position the controller for either left-hand or right-
