Adjusting the seat
2.1.1
Adjusting the seat height
The entire seat can be adjusted in height in order to obtain the optimal seating position. This adjustment is carried
out by the dealer.
2.1.2
Adjusting the seat depth (sliding system)
(
seat may vary from the illustration
)
The seat depth can be adjusted as follows:
•
Lift and hold handle (A).
•
Slide the seat forwards or backwards.
•
Release the handle once the seat is in the required position. Now slide the seat
slightly forwards or backwards so that it locks into place.
•
The seat depth has now been adjusted.
2.1.3
Adjusting the backrest
The backrest angle can be adjusted as follows:
•
Lift handle (A) whilst sitting on the seat.
The backrest now automatically moves forwards.
•
Push the backrest to the rear by leaning against it until it is in the position
you find the most comfortable.
•
Once adjusted, release the handle. The backrest remains in the position
you selected.
Caution: Exercise caution when using the handle when no
one is sitting on the seat. The backrest is equipped with a
spring mechanism which causes it to be driven quickly
forwards with some force.
The backrest can be adjusted to provide good back support while driving.
If the backrest is adjusted to an angle too far to the rear, the driver’s seating position is then less
stable, particularly on slopes.
It is therefore important never to drive your scooter if the backrest is inclined too far back.
