Adjustment 3: Gravitational centering 

 
Adjust  the  seat  plate  to  position  yourself  so  you  satisfy  the 
gravitational centering necessary for the Personal Transporter 
to effectively respond when you lean forward and backward 
for safe, controlled travel and stopping.  

To perform this adjustment, place one hand on a solid surface. 
In  one  swift  motion,  fully retract  the  parking  mechanism  by 
pushing the lever.  

If you drift forward while sitting upright, you are positioned too 
far  to  the  front.  To  correct  this  issue,  deploy  the  parking 
mechanism and dismount. Now loosen the 4 bolts described in 
Adjustment 2  and  slide  the  seat plate  back  a  bit. Be  sure to 
tighten the bolts before testing your new seating position.  

If you drift backward while sitting upright, you are positioned 
too  far  to  the  rear.  To  correct this issue, deploy the  parking 
mechanism and dismount. Now loosen the 4 bolts described in 
Adjustment 2 and slide the seat plate forward a bit. Be sure to 
tighten  the  bolts  before  testing  your  new  seating  position. 
Please be aware, that only securely tightened bolts allow safe 
using of Blumil.  

When  the  seat  is  properly  positioned  your  Personal 
Transporter will remain stationary.
