To remove the seating shell, step to the right of the seating shell (in driving direction) hold the back of the seat near the 

head area with one hand. Now reach beneath the seat and pull the disengaging lever towards the footrest assembly 

to release the seat attachment. Tilt the seat by slightly more that 45° to the rear and remove it by lifting upwards.

To remount the seat onto the mobility base, hold the seat as described above and first put the locking unit at an angle 

of approximately 45° on the posterior tube of the seat adapter. Press the anterior seat edge onto the mobility base 

until the seat audibly snaps in place. Make sure it’ s secure by giving it a few short jerks. 

Possible adjustments and adaptations

Seat angle 

After loosening the clamping lever (1/A) or (1/B)

, the seat support fixture can be adjusted in angle.

Seat height

The seat height can be adjusted off-load only. To do so, undo the clamping levers 

(2/A)

 as well as the additional stud 

screws 

(2/B)

 and raise/lower the seat support fixture to the desired height.

( Height adjustment is restricted when the spring button locks 

(2/C).

 )

After that, firmly re-tighten all screw connections.

The clamping lever can, if pulled away from the screw a little, be moved off-load, thus enabling you to turn it 
into a more convenient operating position.
Brakes

To activate the brakes, press the brake lever 

(1/C)

 downwards with the tip of your foot.

To release the brakes, pull the brake lever upwards with the tip of your foot.

Anti-tip bracket

The chassis must be lowered due to the increased risk of tipping when adjusting seat inclination. In order to lower 

chassis, undo the stud screws 

(2/E)

 and pull out the rear frames (no further than the point at which the spring buttons 

engage). Then firmly re-tighten the stud screws.

Pushbar

Facilitates pushing and maneuvering indoors.

After all adjustments, retighten the screw connections that have been loosened.
