9.6 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
GRAMMER SEATS
Adjustments must not be made while driving.
• After removal of the backrest upholstery,
the backrest frame must be supported, for
example held in place,
• before the backrest adjuster is operated. If
you fail to do so, there is a danger that the
backrest frame may jerk forward and
cause injury.
• Any changes to the series standard of the
seat (for example fitting parts which are
not original GRAMMER parts) may impair
the safety standard to which it has been
tested.
• Functions may be impaired, threatening
your safety. For this reason, any changes
in design of the seat must be approved by
GRAMMER.
During the removal and installation of the driver's
seat, the corresponding instructions by
the specific vehicle manufacturer must be strictly
observed!
• Do not hold onto the covers for lifting the
driver's seats. If you do so anyway, there
is an increased risk of injury due to
loosening or breaking covers.
• Before you remove the driver's seat,
disconnect all plug-in connections between
the seat and the vehicle supply network.
When you replace the plug-in connectors,
make sure they are tight to avoid ingress
of dust and water.
• Seatbelts can be retrofitted to the driver's
seat. Seatbelts may only be fitted on the
approval of the vehicle manufacturer, as
they increase the load in the seat mounting
area.
• Seatbelts must be fitted in accordance with
specific national regulations and
guidelines, and must be approved by
GRAMMER.
• Retrofitted seatbelts must be fastened
before driving.
• The seat belt must be replaced after an
accident.
• Where seatbelts are fitted to the driver's
seat, the seat and seat mounting must be
checked additionally by specialist
personnel after an accident has occurred.
