Instructions for use of the ErgoDynamic
active position 3º forward passive position 6º backwards
Dynamic has 4 knobs
First set the chair in the passive position
(see diagram)
1.
Move the knob at the front of the chair (4) to its highest position. Place your buttocks
flush against the raised back edge of the chair. The saddle will ease downwards 6º,
automatically moving the lumbar back support towards the lower part of your back.
Important: first adopt a firm sitting position, and then lean back against the back of
the chair, hollowing your back slightly. If you are too hasty in leaning back before
sitting in the manner described above, the scissor mechanism will lock and you will
slip away from the chair; you will then be slouching in the chair rather than sitting
in it!
2.
With knob 1 adjust the height of the chair in such a way that your thighs slope slightly
downwards at an angle of approx. 100º - 120º from the hip. If your thighs bear down too
heavily on the saddle, or if there is a feeling of tightness in the crutch, the position of the
ErgoDynamic will need to be lowered slightly.
3.
Using knob 2 adjust the back rest at approximately waist level, or slightly above or below
it (at the deepest part of the lumbar-spinal column).
4.
With knob 3 the back rest can be adjusted to give varying degrees of support.
By following these steps you will have adjusted the chair correctly for the passive sitting
position.
