GENERAL TORQUE AND FASTENER GUIDELINES
Many of the fasteners used to construct the Xplore Mobility chair consist of a bolt with a
nut that contains a nylon coated thread (commonly referred to as “nyloc” nuts). These
connection and pivot points should be maintained and secured with the appropriate fas-
teners and hand tightened to eliminate a loose fit. In the case of a fastener that dictates a
pivot point, make the allowance to allow a pivoting motion, when in the unlikely situation
that these fasteners become loose, please first insure that the nut and bolt are in good
condition. If not in good condition, ascertain the cause and determine whether it can be
replaced with the equivalent new fastener. To ensure adequate grip of the nyloc nut,
make sure to tighten bolt until at least one full thread is protruding from nut. If a nut loos-
ens that does not have a nylon insert place a couple of drops of thread locker such as
Red Loctite on the tip of the bolt before inserting bolt into nut. If there is any doubt that
the item is not repaired and made to last, please contact the authorized dealer to confirm
that the chair is to be returned and repaired.
