6. Seat settings 6.1 Seat height & seat angle With CESA, seat height and seat angle are adjusted by moving the front frame vertically in relation to the beams and moving the seat frame in the gridded slot of the base plate. Depending on the frame size and the selected footrest system, the following adjustment options are available: First, remove the front cover caps on the left and right. Loosen the screw connections on the left and right and remove the screws.
Page 15
After removing the foot- rest, set the desired front seat height and screw it back in place Then loosen the screw on the front frame Then, by loosening the screw connection to the base plate, move the seat frame up and down within the slotted hole and thus adjust or adapt the seat angle/rear seat height. Then tighten the screw connection again. 0° - 12° adjustment range Finally, tighten the side screw connection again.
6.2 Seat depth The seat depth is basically adjusted by moving the cross tube and the wheel axle relative to the frame. Seat depths between 24 and 48 cm can be realised. For a larger adjustment range, the seat plate may have to be removed beforehand. The measuring point is the front edge of the backrest tube to the front edge of the seat plate/covering. Small changes to the seat depth can also be made by moving the clamps on the seat frame. The front edge of the seat plate always follows the curvature of the front frame. Depending on the seat width and active degree, the following seat depth ranges result...
Page 17
Loosen the screw connection on the right and left at the clamps of the axle tube. Loosening the screw connection on the right and left to the base plate. The frame can now be adjusted to the appro- priate depth The seat plate itself can be moved slightly via the clamps. To do this, the marked screw connections must be loosened. The seat plate can then be realigned.
6.3 Active degree The active degree describes the ratio of the position of the backrest relative to the drive wheel axis. The further the backrest is set behind the the drive wheel axle, the more active CESA can be driven. Conversely, a setting above, or in front of, the drive axle means a more stable driving position. CESA offers an adjustment range of 1 - 8 cm. The larger the value the more active. The active level is set via the installation position of the back plate on the base plate. There is a choice of 3 different rows of holes, each with a spacing of 2.5 cm. 1 2 3 The elongated holes in the back base give an adjustment range of 3 cm. This results in a total adjustment range of 5 cm + 3 cm = 8 cm. 6.4 Back height CESA is equipped with either an adjustable back covering or a back panel. The back panel is available in different heights. However, small adjustments can be made by moving the back base to the base plates and sliding the panel along the tubes. The adjustable back upholstery is attached to the back tubes accor- dingly.
Page 19
The back height can be changed by means of individual push handles or telescopic tubes. If installed, the screw on the rear back tube must be opened. These provide 10 cm additional length (for back height 20 cm only 5 cm possible for structural reasons). This results in the following adjustment range - 20 up to 25 cm - 25 up to 35 cm - 30 up to 40 cm - 35 up to 45 cm The height can then be readjusted and additional Velcro strips added. The following basis applies for the dimensions of the Velcro strips...
6.5 Backrest angle The back angle is measured in relation to the seat surface. The „rigid“ back base allows an adjustment range of +- 10°, whereas the „angle-adjustable“ back base offers a range of 80° - 105°. If CESA is not equipped with the backrest base „angle-adjustable and foldable“, the backrest angle is adjusted by loosening the marked screw connection. The „angle-adjustable“ backrest base is operated by a locking bolt on the back. 6° each hole position 6.6 Lower leg length The lower leg length can be adjusted between 15 and 46 cm depending on the frame size and footrest variant. Adjustment is made by loosening the screw connection on the frame tube With the variant for short lower leg lengths it may be necessary to shorten the tubes, as otherwise contact with the floor may occur! 6.7 Footrest angle and depth Depending on the footboard version, the angle can be adjusted by loosening the front screw. The depth can be realised by repositioning the footrest and using the other the other holes.
