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.
• Fasteners must be, checked regularly for 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.
