4.1 General information on setup

The tasks described in this chapter are intended to be performed by trained and authorized service technicians for initial
setup. They are not intended to be performed by the user.

4.2 Adjusting Seating Position

Adjusting the seating position in order to adapt the mobility device optimally to the requirements of the user, we
recommend that you ask your authorised Invacare provider to adjust seat depth individually. Adapting the seat to the
user's seating position depends on the seat that has been fitted, and should be carried out in the following sequence.
1. Adjusting the lower leg length and seat depth. See 4.2.1 Adjusting Lower Leg Length, page 9 and 4.2.2 Adjusting
Seat Depth, page 9 .
2. Adjusting the center of gravity of the seat frame. See 4.2.3 Adjusting Centre of Gravity of Seat, page 10.
3. Checking that the swivel castors can move freely.
4. Repetition of steps 2 to 4, if necessary.

– Always check the seat depth settings for both forward and reverse movement. Make sure that steering wheels

warranty for safe vehicle driving behavior - especially the tipping stability - for this standard drive program.
