Step 3:
Adjusting the seat tilt
Pull the handle (5) up as far as it will go, thus unlocking
the seat tilt function. The desired position can be individu-
ally selected by shifting your weight back or forward and
fixed it by releasing the handle.
The seat tilt must be selected in such a way that the
pedals can be fully pushed down with the legs slightly
bent. The thighs should rest lightly on the seat, without
feeling pressure from the front edge of the seat cushion.
Remember also, that if the cushion angle is too flat you
may slip forward which results in removal of support
from the backrest. On the other hand, too steep an
angle can increase the pressure on the lumbar spine
and thighs.
Step 4:
Adjusting the backrest angle
Move your buttocks as close as possible up against the
backrest. Release the backrest lock by pulling up the lever
(1). The backrest moves forward, spring-assisted. Through
upper body pressure, you move the backrest into the
desired position and fix it by releasing the lever.
Choose the backrest angle such that you can easily place
your arms round the steering wheel when they are slightly
bent. While turning the steering wheel, you should main-
tain shoulder contact with the seat. The angle should not
be set higher than 15° to 20°. A backrest that is adjusted
too far back increases the risk of neck pain.
