LUMBAR ADJUSTMENT (FIG. F)
This increases the comfort of the seat and the driver's freedom of movement.
- Turn the handle either left or right to adjust the height or depth of the lumbar support.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE ANGLE OF THE BACK-REST (FIG. G)
- Support the back-rest, pull the lever and position the back-rest to find the desired
position.
If you do not support the back-rest when making adjustments, it swings completely forwards.
HORIZONTAL SHOCK ABSORBER (FIG. H)
In certain conditions (e.g. driving with a trailer) it is advised that a horizontal shock absorber
be used. The driver's seat is thus better able to absorb jerks in the direction of travel.
- Position 1: Horizontal shock absorber fitted.
- Position 2: Horizontal shock absorber removed.
LONGITUDINAL ADJUSTMENT (FIG. I)
- Adjust the locking lever until you reach the position required. This then locks and the seat
will not shift into another position.
SERVICING (FIG. J)
Dirt may adversely affect the correct functioning of the seat. For this reason, make sure
your seat is always clean.
- To clean or change the cushions, simply remove them from the seat frame.
A rocking head-rest increases the risk of an accident !
Avoid wetting the cushion fabric when cleaning. Check the resistance of the fabric on a
small hidden area before using any fabric or plastic cleaner.
2 - SAFETY BELT
- Sit correctly on the seat.
- Check that seat belt is not twisted.
- Place the seat belt at hip level.
- Attach the seat belt and check that it locks.
- Adjust the seat belt to your body shape without squeezing your hip and without over-slack.
In no event should the lift truck be used if the seat belt is defective (fixing, locking, cuts, tears, etc.). Repair or replace the seat belt immediately.
