WARNING
After ANY adjustments, repair or service
and BEFORE use, make sure all attachment
hardware is tightened securely - other-
wise, injury or damage may result.
The tautness of the back upholstery, knee
and/or foot position, as well as the user con-
dition directly relate to the stability of the
racing chair. Any change to one (1) or any
combination of the three (3) may cause
the racing chair to decrease in stability.
Refer to STABILITY in PROCEDURE 1 of this
manual.
ADJUSTING/REPLACING BACK
UPHOLSTERY (FIGURE 1)
1. Unlatch the three (3) fastening flaps that secure the
back upholstery to the racing chair frame.
Adjusting
1. Adjust back upholstery to the desired tautness.
TIGHTER upholstery will increase the stability and main-
tain normal maneuverability of the racing chair because
the user is pushed forward in the racing chair slightly.
LOOSER upholstery will increase the maneuverability
and make the racing chair less stable because addi-
tional weight is being distributed onto the rear wheels.
Replacing
1. Unlatch the foot pouch of the leg cushion from the
back upholstery (kneeling upholstery only).
2. Unlatch the bottom of the back upholstery from the
seat sling upholstery.
3. Remove the existing back upholstery from the racing
chair.
4. Feed the top two (2) fastening flaps of the new back
upholstery through the slots on the racing chair frame.
5. Feed the bottom fastening flap of the new back upholstery
between the racing chair frame and the clothing guards.
6. Adjust the new back upholstery for desired tautness.
