Installing the Tube Connector - TC90
Connect the Horizontal and Vertical Tubes
A Tube Connector (TC90) joins the Vertical Tube to the Horizontal Tube at a right angle.
Separate the two halves of the Tube Connector and insert the Horizontal and Vertical Tubes into the half of the TC90 with the threaded holes. Align the Horizontal Tube straight across the wheelchair. Bolt on the unthreaded half of the TC90 and tighten the bolts alternately until they are fully tight. There will be a slight gap between the halves of the Tube Connector when the bolts are fully tight; this gap should be approximately even around the Tube Connector.
If the connection between the two tubes needs to be reoriented the Tube Connector joint must be fully dismantled. The tube holes in the TC90 are a tight fit on the tubes and will not rotate easily when the bolts are loosened. To release the two halves of the connector from the tubes when the bolts are removed it may be necessary to knock them against a firm surface to jar them loose.
