- Standard seats
• Nylon upholstery seat with or without Velcro fastener : the
Velcro fasteners are required for the proper positioning of
the cushion (photo 1) ; please make sure that the cushion is
properly positioned on the seat.
• Depth adjustable seat: fold the seat sightly. Lift up the front
part. Pull into required depth.
• Padded seat : it provides comfortable support to the user.
Standard seats are not adjustable; in the event that they
become slack, it is recommended that you ask your dealer to
replace them.
Always use upholstery equipped with Velcro fasteners
when you have a cushion in order to prevent sliding.
Adding a cushion to the seat will raise your height above
the ground and can affect your stability in all directions. If a
cushion is changed it may also change the users stability.
