The Navigator chair 
 

The chair of the Navigator is equipped with a number of adjustment possibilities which improves your 
seat and driving comfort considerably. The entire chair can be height adjusted in a range of 10 cm in 4 
teps of 2,5 cm. This adjustment can be done by your dealer. 

 
Adjust backrest angle 
 

The backrest angle is stepless adjustable in a sitting position up to standard 105 degrees (picture 37). By 
replacing the hex bolt on the turning point this can be increased up to 135 degrees. The backrest can 
also be fully flipped forward to ease transport. On the right side of the chair (left shown on picture 37) is 
a lever. Pull it up and lean forward or rearward to adjust the desired backrest angle (picture 37). As 
soon as you reached it you release the lever> The backrest will fixate in your position.

Never operate the lever when you are not in the chair. The backrest will come forward with strength. 
 

Adjust lumbar support 
 

The chair is equipped with a lumbar adjustment in 4 steps, adjustable through a turning knob on the side 
of the backrest. This creates more or less support in the lower back. After adjusting position 4 
(maximum) the adjustment automatically falls back in position 1 (minimum) when the knob is turned 
further (picture 38).
