Assembly takes just a couple of minutes, once you have the sections out and ready to go. There are 5 to 6 sections, the heaviest and bulkiest being the zero gravity chair itself. Shown below, the zero gravity chair has already been collapsed with its binocular holder/stabilizer attached.
Start with the easily stacked sections: Lay the octagonal base down onto a ground sheet. Adjust its legs to prevent wobbling on uneven ground. It doesn’t need to be completely level. Then simply stack the turntable bearing section onto the octagonal base, which has a cavity for the large bearing. The top side of this section has a platform for the chair to sit on. Open up the collapsed chair assembly. Place this chair assembly onto the four rubber guides on the platform.
Clamp on the remaining sections: Slide in the chair front counterweight, which normally doesn’t require any weight adjustment. Clamp on the wheel mount crossbar with the two nylon wingnuts. This mount self-adjusts to the chair frame geometry and to the required height off of the octagonal base. Finally, install your binoculars and adjust the rear counterweight if necessary.
