3.6.5.1 Replacing the Headrest Supports

1) With a standard pad: Open the zipper at the top of the pad (see Fig. 70) and fold the backrest pad forward.
With a microfibre pad: Open the zipper. Do not fold down the pad; the supports must be threaded through
the slits in the pad for installation.
2) Loosen the knurled nuts on the back of the back plate (see Fig. 106).
3) Remove the mounting screws and supports.
4) Remove the covers from the supports (see Page 24) and replace the supports.
5) Pull the covers over the new supports with proper alignment (see Page 24).
6) Preinstall the supports on the correct sides with the mounting materials provided (see Fig. 107).
INFORMATION: With a microfibre pad, the supports first have to be threaded through the slits in the
backrest pad.
7) Put the mounting screws through the slotted hole in the support and the bore hole in the back insert, respect­
ively (see Fig. 108).
INFORMATION: If the headrest supports are to be mounted to the top holes (= mounting points of the
back plate), the longer mounting screws, which come with the device, will have to be used instead of
the regular mounting screws.
8) Fasten the headrest supports on the back of the back plate using the knurled nuts (see Fig. 106). Adjust the
width in the slotted holes if required.
9) Hand-tighten the knurled nuts.
10) With a standard pad: Fold the backrest pad back over the supports and close the zipper.
With a microfibre pad: Close the zipper.
