SPEX ARM & THIGH SUPPORT USER MANUAL

WWW.SPEXSEATING.COM

To adjust the height and angle of the arm support, loosen the four 
M6 fasteners with a 4mm Hex Key and adjust the angle until the arm 
support pad is at the desired height and angle.

Ensure all four fasteners are tightened up correctly once the arm sup-
port pad is in position.

Underneath the arm support pad, the outside fasteners allow for a 
slight angle adjustment of the pad in relation to the arm support 
post. 
Further angle adjustment can be achieved by adjusting the Seat pan 
mounting bracket angle when a Spex seat pan is installed.

The inner fasteners underneath the pad allow for the forward and 
back adjustment of the pad in relation to the arm support post.
