8.12.2 Mechanical seat tilt

The mechanical seat tilt function with a gas compression spring allows the seat to be tilted, for example to relieve
pressure. The seat can be tilted back continuously up to an angle of 20°.
This seat tilt adjustment is operated with a release lever at the push handles.

8.12.3 Mechanically elevating footrests

INFORMATION
► Please also observe the overriding safety instructions in the section "Manual seat functions" > "Safety instruc­
tions": see Page 42.
The mechanically elevating footrests let the user change the angle independently to prevent a constant pressure
load or to provide anti-shock support.
