Adjust the AdvenChair for the Rider
Adjusting the AdvenChair for a rider is best done with the rider in the chair, the front wheel in
place, and two people to make the adjustments. These adjustments allow sizing the chair for a
rider from child sized to adult sized.
1.
Seat position forward and back:
People with longer legs typically need the seat positioned farther back.
a.
To position the seat base forward or back, unclamp the seat position ratchet handles
under both sides of the seat.
b.
Slide the seat forward or back to a comfortable position and clamp the ratchet handles.
2.
Angle (dump) of the seat base:
a.
People with longer legs typically need to recline more.
b.
The seat angle or dump is adjustable from zero degrees (level) to sixteen degrees in four
degree increments. The seat shown is currently level and pinned to the bottom hole.
c.
Loosen the seat angle ratchet handles under the back of the seat on both sides. They
should only be loosened one half to one full turn. Keep the handle pointed back to keep
it from getting stuck under the spring plunger.
d.
On each side of the chair, pull the round spring plunger out and turn it 90 degrees to
disengage. If the rider is in the seat, the spring plunger may be too tight to pull out. In
this case, lift the blue webbing strap at the top and back of the seatback to unbind the
spring plungers, after which they can be pulled out and disengaged.
e.
Adjust the seat to a comfortable angle. Use the blue web strap on the top of the
seatback to pull the seat up or down.
f.
Re-engage the spring plungers by turning them back 90 degrees. Then make minor
adjustments to the seat angle by using the blue webbing strap at the top of the seatback
to rock the seat up and down gently until the pins click into the desired adjustment
holes. This may require fitting one side and then matching the other side.
g.
Tighten the ratchet handles on both sides.
Note:
If the end of the handgrip tubes rubs against the tire, correct this with the following
adjustments:
Move the handgrips forward.
Move the seat forward.
Reduce the angle (or dump) of the seat so it is more upright.
