Planar Installation Instructions
(Note: See Exploded Assembly [Figure 3] and Floor Mounting Details [Figure 4] on following pages.)
1. Use approved floor plan to establish hole locations for the foot plates. Note that the chair radius line coincides
with the front hole of the foot plate. Accurate center-to-center width spacing is critical to a proper installation.
Tolerance on the chair width dimension is plus or minus 1/8". It is critical not to exceed this tolerance on width
spacing.
2. When mounting chairs over carpet, punch two 5/8" diameter holes in carpet to match holes in the chair base
plate. Bolt leg frames to floor as per the appropriate anchoring method. (See figure 4.) Use 1/4" flat head
machine bolt or wood screws and countersink lock washers. Hand-tighten bolts to allow for some slight
movement in the leg frame.
3. Attach the back as follows (see figure 3):
a. Place inner upholstered back in front of the back attachment wing brackets, aligning threaded inserts in
the back with slots in the wing brackets. Insert (4) 1/4-20 x 5/8” Allen-drive low-profile machine screws
through the slots in the wing brackets and tighten while insuring that the back is centered between the
leg frames.
b. Place the outer back panel behind and slightly above the inner panel and slide downwards to engage
the flush-mount brackets. Use pinch clamps to draw the bottom of the panels together. Secure the
panels by installing (2) 1/4-20 x 1-1/8” Allen-drive low-profile machine screws through the predrilled
holes in the bottom of the inner panel and into threaded inserts in the outer back panel.
4. Orient the seat to the approximate occupied position and lower onto seat hinges (C). Install (4) 1/4-20 x 5/8
SEMS machine screws through slots in seat brackets and fasten to hinges. Insure seat is centered between legs
prior to final tightening.
5. Flip seat up and down several times to insure that it pivots and returns to upright position freely. Adjustments can
be made to the attachment bolts in either the seats or the backs.
6. Attach armrest by placing the routed area on the underside of the armrest over the mounting plate at the top of
the leg frame. Secure using (4) #8 x 5/8” pan head sheet metal screws (see figure 3).
7. Tighten all floor attachments securely.
