How to mount and use the
metal and felt gliders
The “swopper” without rollers is usually supplied with metal
gliders. These are suitable for use on textile-covered floors
(carpet, felt etc.), but never on floors that might become wet or
damp. For smooth floor surfaces (stone, tiles, parquet, cork,
PVC and the like) please use only felt gliders. If these are
not included in the delivery package, we will be glad to send
them to you free of charge.
To change the gliders, carefully turn the “swopper” upside
down and remove the metal gliders using a pipe wrench.
Replace the metal gliders with the felt gliders and press or
tap these firmly into place. That’s it!
How to mount and use
the rollers
If you have chosen a “swopper” with rollers, then rollers
braked in compliance with DIN EN 12529 are included in
the delivery package. These universal rollers can be used
on practically any type of floor. Special “Speed” rollers can
also be fitted to the “swopper” for use on very deep pile
carpets or rough floor surfaces.
Please use the enclosed brush-like
“swopper” grip
when
using your “swopper” on smooth, hard floors (parquet,
laminate, stone etc.). This prevents unwanted rolling away.
You can easily mount it yourself by exchanging it for the
black rubber cap on the underside of the base ring. Carefully
turn the “swopper” upside down, remove the black rubber
cap on the underside and insert the “swopper” grip in
its place. Now, when you sit on your “swopper” on smooth
floor surfaces, the spring strut makes contact with the
floor for better support. To get the “swopper” rolling you
must slightly lighten the load on the seat.
Settings
You can adjust the “swopper” in three different ways to
meet your individual requirements: height, spring hardness
and sideways movement.
1. Height adjustment
Using the lever under the seat you can adjust the height
continuously. The open angle of your legs (thigh to lower leg)
should be just over 90°. We recommend adjusting the height
of your desk appropriately. If this is not possible, then please
adjust the seat height to achieve an optimum distance
between your eyes and the working surface.
2. Spring hardness
You can set the spring hardness according to your weight and
your personal preference (more or less movement). The optimum
setting is when you can move freely in all directions without
impediment. Set the spring hardness by turning the sleeve on
the spring strut - down for maximum movement or low weight.
Turn the sleeve up for reduced movement or greater weight.
3. Sideways movement
The sideways movement of the “swopper” is decisive for
activating your muscles. The softer the setting, the more you
strengthen your muscles. We recommend starting off with
a setting for reduced sideways movement and then gradually
adjusting the setting to provide as much movement as poss-
ible. For adjustment it is best to turn the “swopper” upside
down and turn the handwheel towards (+) for more sideways
movement and towards (-) for less sideways movement.
4. Backrest
The backrest height is adjustable. To adjust the height,
you press on the button on the inside of the backrest rod.
Move the backrest into the position that is most comfortable
for you and then let the button click into place.
