5.1
Adjusting the length of the footrests
The height of the footrests can be adjusted to
suit the length of the user's lower leg.
To adjust the height, undo the Allen screw (1)
on each footrest. You can now adjust the
height of the footrests by selecting one of the
pre-defined positions marked by the holes in
the tubing (2). The ideal length of footrest is
obtained when your thighs are fully and
comfortably supported by the chair seat when
you place your feet on the footplates. To
complete the adjustment, tighten the Allen
screw securely in the hole you have selected.
5.2
Adjusting the backrest
The backrest is set in a predefined position
during manufacture and is likely to be suitable
for most users. However, it can be individually
adjusted by opening the Velcro fasteners and
loosening or tightening them in accordance
with the user's needs before closing them
again. After each adjustment, it is important to
ensure that the Velcro fasteners are firmly
attached to each other so that they do not
open accidentally.
Some possible adjustments are listed below.
•
To adjust the support for the lower spine
to a higher position, tighten the middle
fasteners (2) and loosen the lower fasteners (3).
•
To adjust the support for the lower spine to a lower position, tighten the lower fasteners
(3) and loosen the middle fasteners (2).
•
To increase the area of the support for the lower spine, tighten both the middle
fasteners (2) and the lower fasteners (3).
•
To decrease the size of the posture support for the lower spine, loosen both the middle
fasteners (2) and the lower fasteners (3).
•
To alter the posture support for the upper back and so change the backrest angle, first
remove the fixing screws (4). Next, tighten the upper fasteners (1) to provide a higher
level of support, or loosen them to provide a lower level of support. When the ideal
position has been found, screw the fixing screws through the material and back into the
frame.
