Seat lift/seat adjustment
Koala is fitted with an electrically controlled seat lift. A position adjuster
operated from the control panel allows continuous adjustment of the seat to any
height between 370-610 mm, permitting simple matching with table, seat heights
etc. Whenever the seat lift is raised from its lowest position the chair's maximum
speed is lowered to 3,5 km/h.
If the seat angle catch (Fig. 2) is released, the chair will tilt back when the seat
lift reaches its highest position. Pull out the knob and twist to release the catch.
The chair will not tilt while the catch is engaged.
The chair is fitted with two safety switches which cut off current to the seat lift if
anything is trapped between the chassis and the seat. The safety switches are
located on the battery cover.
Make sure nothing is trapped between the chassis and the seat when oper-
ating the seat lift.
Raising the seat lift raises the center of gravity and increases the risk of tip-
ping. Therefore, you should only use the seat lift on level ground and not
on hilly ground.
