To adjust the headrest: 
1.  Loosen the headrest's screw with an 

Allen key. 

2.  Set the headrest at the right height and 

tighten the screw. 

3.  Loosen the headrest's nuts with an 

open-end wrench.  

4.  The height, depth and angle can be 

adjusted simultaneously. Now tighten 
the nuts again. 

 
 

Please note:

 make sure the handlebars can 

easily move after setting up the headrest. 
 
 
 

Adjustable seat width 

The width of the chair can be fully tuned to 
the passenger. 
To do this: 
1.  Loosen the two nuts on the back of the 

pillow with an open-end wrench. 

2.  Slide the supports so that they fit the 

body of the passenger. Tighten the 
nuts. 

 
 

 
 
 
 
Foot fixation 

The feet of the passenger can be fixed by 
means of two belts. When getting on and off, 
the footplates can be folded upwards. The 
footrest can be folded up by pressing the tab 
[A]. The footplates automatically lock 
themselves when folded back.
