4: Preparing for use and operation
The following pre-delivery procedures should be carried out to check that the seat unit has
not suffered damage during transit and that all features operate satisfactorily. Refer to the
user manual for detailed instructions on performing each action.
4.1 Fitting the seat to the chassis
Fit the seat unit into the chassis following the instructions in section 4.3 of the seat user
manual (note the mounting system is the same for all chassis that the Snappi Seat fits to).
Checks:
•
Check that the spring clips move freely and snap back to their closed position when
the lever is released
•
Make sure the seat interface latches down and locks securely to the frame
•
Check that the secondary latch mechanism functions correctly
•
Check that the seat interface releases correctly and that there is not excessive
friction on the lever when releasing it from the frame
4.2 Seat back recline:
Test the seat back recline mechanism is working correctly by following the instructions in
section 5.1.3 of the seat user manual.
Checks:
•
Make sure the gas spring moves freely through its entire range of motion when
released
•
Ensure that the gas spring locks when the lever is released.
•
Check that the fixing bolts for the gas spring are secure and that there is not
excessive play between the gas spring and the mounting points on the seat when
locked.
4.3 Seat standard adjustments:
All adjustments to the seat are made using hand wheels, or the 5mm hexagon key provided.
Test the adjustment ranges of the seat base, hip width, footrest depth, footrest angle and
back height as detailed in sections 5.1.1
– 5.1.3 of the seat user manual.
Checks:
•
Ensure all elements are free to move over their entire adjustment range (note that the
cover and harnessing may need adjusting to allow this- instructions on how to adjust
these are given in section 5 of the user manual)
•
Check that all elements lock correctly
•
Check that the framework is square and has not been damaged during transit.
