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

To adapt the mobility device optimally to the requirements of the user, we recommend that you ask your authorised
Invacare provider to adjust the seat depth individually. Adapting the seat to the user's seating position depends on which
seat has been fitted, and should be carried out in the following sequence.
1. Adjusting lower leg length and seat depth. See 4.3 Adjusting Lower Leg Length, page 9 and 4.4 Adjusting Seat
Depth, page 9 .
2. Adjusting seat height. See 4.5 Adjusting Seat Height, page 9 .
3. Adjusting centre of gravity of seat frame. See 4.6 Adjusting Centre of Gravity of the Seat, page 10.
4. Checking that castors can move freely.
5. Repetition of steps 3 to 4, if necessary.
CAUTION!

– Always check seat depth settings for both forward and reverse movement. Make sure that castors can rotate
freely and have not contact to any fixed mobility device component.

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