6. Seat settings 6.1 Seat height SWINGBO VTi offers seat height adjustment from 37 - 47 cm. The adjustment is influenced by 3 things: the wheel fork and the correspondingly selected hole position, the axle position and the seat position.

Depending on the wheel camber and individual requirements, the following guidelines result: Seat heights SWINGBO-VTi (3°) Rear Steering wheels wheels SH BB SH BB SH BB short short short 20" deep deep deep short short short deep deep deep short high short high short high short short...
SH = Seat height; SP = Seat position; AP = Axle positionn; CF = Caster Fork; SWP = Steering wheel position; AF = Amount; U-disc above fork 6.2 Seat depth SWINGBO VTi offers a seat depth adjustment range of 8 cm. Measured from the outer edge of the backrest plate to the front edge of the seat plate. General adjustment range: VTi 24 - 42 cm To adjust the seat depth, a total of 4 screws must be loosened.
After the front screw connections have been loosened, the rear screw connections must be found. Due to the design of the SWINGBO VTi and the individual seat height settings, the rear screw connections are not always directly visible. In this case, the seat unit may have to be moved to a different seat angle position in order to make the screw connection between the oblong holes visible.
After loosening the indicated screw connections, the back can be pulled out or pushed in. 6.5 Seat angle The tilt in space of SWINGBO VTi can be adjusted between -5° and +45°. 13 positions of 4° each can be individually adjusted.
The tilt is triggered by a locking pin pull, which is controlled by a release lever on the push bar or push handle. 6.6 Back angle adjustment The back angle adjustment on the SWINGBO VTi depends on the selected push bar/push handle variant and the corresponding back. A distinction must be made here: 1.
Page 20
Push bar/handles foldable with trough-shaped backrest In contrast to the detachable push handles, the back is directly attached to the foldable push handles. In addition, the back is always used in the shape of a trough. The back angle can be set to 5 different angles depending on how it is screwed to the seat mount.
Bolting point of the latch housing with locking bolt on the back base plate. 6.7 Lower leg length SWINGBO VTi can basically be equipped with 3 different footrest hanger Shown here is the footrest hanger 90°. The footrest hanger can be swivelled up via the towing latches, but not fixed.
The further the footrest is pulled out to the front, the the greater the angle. If the procedure is reversed the angle decreases accordingly. 6.9 Armrest height and angle SWINGBO VTi offers various adjustable armrest heights. Gr. 1: 14-21 cm Standard: Gr.
Page 23
The armrest with tilt compensation remains as horizontal as possible during the tilting movement and is therefore more suitable for use with a table. The height can be adjusted in x1.5 cm steps by repositioning the front and rear screw connections. To loosen the screws, first tilt the chair to 45°.
