Adjusting the height of the front
of the seat
Figure 21
You can adjust the height of the front
of the seat using any of the methods
described below.
Move the front castor wheel to a higher or
lower position in the castor fork
By moving the castor wheel to a higher
position in the castor fork (21A) you lower
the seat height; by moving the castor
wheel to a lower position you raise the
seat height.
Change to larger or smaller castor wheels
Using a smaller castor wheel lowers the seat height, whereas a larger castor
wheel will raise the seat height. If you change the castor wheels to a smaller
model, this will reduce the turning circle and thereby make it easier to negotiate
tight spaces. It will also provide more room for your legs. On the other hand,
using larger castor wheels will increase the turning circle but will make it easier to
negotiate uneven surfaces.
Change to a longer or shorter front castor wheel fork
A shorter castor wheel fork will lower the seat height, reduce the turning circle
and make it easier to negotiate tight spaces. It will also provide more room for
your legs. A longer castor wheel fork will raise the seat height and will also give
you the option of changing to a wider range of castor wheels.
NB: Remember to adjust the angle of the castor wheel when you have changed
the seat height; you should also adjust the brakes when you have adjusted the
seat height at the back.
