OPERATION OF SLIDING SEAT
1.
The sliding feature of the seat allows quick adjustment of the seat position while
sitting in the seat. To change seat position grasp the Seat Back and lean forward,
pulling the Seat Back forward with you.
NOTE:
Lean forward far enough to allow the 1/4" Quick Pins to disengage
from the notches in the Sliding Seat Position Rail bolted under the square
fuselage seat rail.
2.
Grasp the Main Spar Carry-thru Tube as a handhold and use it to pull or push
yourself and seat to desired position. Lean back allowing the 1/4" Quick Pins to
lock into position between the notches under the square seat rail. Check to be
sure seat has locked in position.
3.
To aid exiting and entering the aircraft adjust seat to aft most position.
4.
The seat is also adjustable in recline by selecting the proper set of holes in the
Seat Side Plates for 1/4" Quick Pin insertion.
NOTE:
This adjustment may only be done while out of the aircraft.
5.
Apply White Lightning bike chain lube, liquid paraffin wax or similar to the Sliding
Seat Rail Plates to make seat movement easier. Let dry before using. The seat
will slide very easy when lubed with this waxy stuff. Reapply lube when the seats
seem to be less easy to move.
CAUTION
It is NOT recommended to move the seat while occupied and operator of the
aircraft. If moving is required, allow a qualified second occupant to operate the
aircraft until desired position is obtained.
