DESCRIPTION

While tightening the seat anchorage torso bolts, top ceiling tends to twist around with the washer, which may result in tearing the ceiling material. Avoiding such damage and unnecessary repair work, it is recommended to remove the bolt and cut the top ceiling around the contacting surface of the washer with a knife or scissors. Then reinstall the bolt and tighten it with provided torque wrench.


Caution:
1. Care should be taken not to cut the top ceiling other than the area of the washer.
2. When reinstalling the bolt, check for proper installation of the bolt. Confirm that the anchor plate can move easily after tightening the bolt.
