- The lower shaft can only be inserted into the upper shaft in one orientation. Ensure that the key stop on the lower shaft is aligned to the upper shaft.
- Slide the lower shaft into the upper shaft until the coil cable and key stop appear at the top.
- Rotate the upper shaft 90° so that the control panel points upwards.
- Lock the cam lock by pushing the lever towards the shaft
WARNING
PINCH POINTS – CONTROL BOX. Take care when sliding the control box onto the chassis and when operating the control box latch.
Attach Control Box
- Slide the control box partly onto the upper shaft. When it reaches half way it will click into place to hold the control box while the connectors are fitted. Attach the coil and control panel cables to their respective connectors, and firmly tighten the retaining rings.
- Slide the control box further along the upper shaft until it locks into place.
- Fit the battery pack onto the control box and close the latches to secure it in place.
- Fit the headphone module onto the control box. Use a screwdriver or coin to gently tighten the bolt taking care not to damage the thread by over-tightening.
NOTE
The headphone module is NOT waterproof. Refer to the CTX 3030 Instruction Manual for further information on using the waterproof headphones.
Attach Armrest
