9 ADJUSTMENTS
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 prevent ingress of dust and
water.
Seatbelts must be fastened before driving. The seatbelt 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.
Fasteners must be checked regularly for a tight seat. If the seat wobbles there may be loose bolts or other
faults.
If you notice that the seat does not function correctly (for example a defective seat suspension; improper
curvature of the lumbar support or damaged bellows), contact a specialist workshop immediately to arrange for
repairs to be carried out.
If you fail to do so, your health may be affected and the risk of accident increased.
Before the vehicle is used, switches that might be in the seat (for shutting down mechanical equipment when
the driver leaves his/her seat) must be checked for proper function
If malfunctions are detected, the vehicle must not be driven.
– INCREASED RISK OF ACCIDENT –
Loads must not be placed on seats with a built in switch, except for the driver's weight during normal use, as the
vehicle may otherwise start to move by itself.
– INCREASED RISK OF ACCIDENT –
If you take off the weight from the seat while driving, this will cause the vehicle to stop.
Do not indent the bellows while there is load on the driver's seat.
– RISK OF CRUSHING –
Make sure that the interior of drivers seat remains free of foreign particles or liquids.
The driver's seat is not watertight and must be protected against splashes of water!
Any conversion or refitting work on a GRAMMER driver's seat must be performed exclusively in authorised
workshops by trained or suitably qualified personnel and in adherence with the applicable operating,
maintenance and installation instructions and in compliance with all relevant national regulations.
Improper installation and assembly bear the risk of personal injury or property damage and the proper function
of the driver's seat or mounted parts can no longer be guaranteed.
