Seat Height
The Seat height can be adjusted by 45mm
(2in) at 15mm (0.6in) increments up and down
to customise to leg length and transfer heights.
The Seat dump can also be adjusted in this
process.
(Refer to
Testing for the appropriate Seat height:
1. Test the fit for Seat to Footplate by sitting on
your Omeo with the Stabilising Legs down.
Check to see if your feet are in contact with
the Footplate and that you have no undue
pressure on the Seat under your thighs
2. Have an Assistant / Spotter hold onto the top of
the Seat Back, ready to take control if required
3. Rock the Seat back and forward to check that
your feet stay in contact with the Footplate at
all times
4. Raise / lower the Seat to suit.
(Refer to
raise and lower the Seat height, Pg. 90
5. For a more level transfer, you can change the
Seat height to ground height in the same way
as above.
NOTICE
The ASC’s pivoting Seat and the self-levelling
function of your Omeo must be taken into
account when selecting the most suitable Seat
to Footplate height.
When braking or going down-hill, the Seat will
pivot back increasing the distance between the
front of the Seat and the Footplate. Conversely
the distance will decrease when going uphill or on
initial take off.
NOTICE
A good guide to indicate if adjustment may be
needed is if your feet lift off the Footplate when
braking hard or descending a steep slope.
(Refer to Riding Behaviour and Method Pg. 43).
For maximum adjustment both Seat height and
Footplate height may need adjustment in tandem
(Refer to How to raise and lower the Seat, (Pg. 90),
and Adjust the Footplate Height, (Pg. 91))
