Seats, General Information
Unless otherwise noted, all seat adjustments should
be made while seated and before the engine is
started.
Due to the high degree of adjustability of mid- and
high-back air suspension seats, it is possible to com-
bine the seat back recline adjustment and the seat
slide adjustment so that the seat back contacts the
back wall. Use care when adjusting the seat to pre-
vent damage to the seat and the cab interior.
WARNING
Keep hands, tools, and other objects away from
the scissor points under the seats. Failure to do
so could cause personal injury.
The following is a description of adjustments that can
be made to various Argosy seats. Not all seats have
all of the adjustments listed below. See
Fig. 7.1 .
•
Backrest Tilt enables the backrest to pivot for-
ward or backward.
•
Lumbar Support changes the shape of the
backrest to give more or less support to the
occupant’s lumbar (lower back) area. This ad-
justment is either mechanical or air controlled,
depending on the seat model.
•
Fore/Aft Isolator feature reduces the amount of
road shock by isolating the occupant from the
motion of the vehicle, and allowing the upper
seat to move in a simple pendulum motion. A
lockout feature is used whenever the isolator is
not desired.
•
Height Adjustment moves the entire seat up or
down. The adjustment is either manually- or
air-controlled, depending on the seat model.
•
Bottom Cushion Angle (fore-and-aft bottom
cushion height)
enables the occupant to raise
or lower the front or back of the bottom cush-
ion. This adjustment is easier to perform when
all weight is removed from the seat.
