Acclaim Installation Instructions
(Note: See Exploded Assembly [Figure 4] and Floor Mounting Details [Figure 5] on following pages.)
1. Use approved floor plan to establish hole locations for the foot plates. Note that the chair radius line is 1-1/2”
behind 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. (See figure 4.) Bolt leg frames to floor as per the appropriate anchoring method. 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. (See figure 4.)
3. Attach back as follows: From the front of the legs, slip the back panel over the legs with the top brackets sliding
over the top of the frame and the bottom brackets sliding under the frame. Installing the back panel from the
front of the legs insures that the back brackets on the upholstered back do not scratch the paint on the rear of the
legs. Align slots in the back brackets with the threaded holes in the leg (4 locations for each back) and insert a
1/4-20 x 1/2” SEMS machine screw. Center the back panel between the legs, hand tighten all screws first, then
tighten securely.
4. Attach the seat as follows:
a. Attach one hinge to the seat with two 1/4-20 x 1-1/4” fillister head machine screws. Make sure that the
“L” part of the hinge is over the side edge of the seat and the rubber bumper on the hinge is toward the
front edge of the seat. Hand-tighten the screws.
b. Place a nylon washer over each forward pivot pin followed by a plastic bushing.
c. Slide the seat (with attached hinge) onto forward pivot pin on the leg.
d. Place the nylon washer, plastic bushing, and hinge onto the opposite forward pivot pin and pull seat to
hinge (“L” part of hinge is over the side edge of the seat and the rubber bumper on the hinge is toward
the front part of the seat). Insert two 1/4-20 x 1-1/4” fillister head screws and hand-tighten.
e. The seat hinges should be adjusted tight against the shoulder of the pivot pin and should be parallel to
the leg tube. The seat should be centered on the hinges. Securely tighten all four screws.
5. Flip seat up and down several times to insure that it pivots and returns to upright position freely. Adjust hinges as
necessary. If side-to-side play exists in the seat, readjust hinges moving them outward toward the legs, or if
hinges have been adjusted to their maximum, add additional nylon washers. It is critical to insure full
engagement of the hinge onto the hinge pin.
6. Attach armrest with #8 x 3/4” sheet metal screws; two per arm without tablet arm, three per arm with tablet arm.
Left and right aisle arms have partial cut out slots to allow clearance for a single back bracket. Center arms have
thru slots to allow clearance for two back brackets. Center the armrest on the leg and tighten securely.
7. Tighten all floor attachments securely.
