6.2.2 Adjusting the seat height and seat inclination

INFORMATION
The Zenit CLT version is delivered preconfigured with permanently welded side supports for attaching the drive
wheel attachment devices, a permanently welded back support and permanently welded caster attachment
devices. Subsequently changing the seat height and seat inclination with effects on the centre of gravity is not
possible. Therefore, the adjustments described below must not be carried out on the CLT model.
The seat height and the seat inclination are adjusted by moving the drive wheel attachment device vertically in con­
junction with the quick-release axle mounting. This has the following effects:
Position of drive wheel
Move upwards
Move downwards
The drive wheel height is individually pre-adjusted for the user at the factory. The drive wheel height can be correc­
ted by repositioning the drive wheel attachment device in the side support.

adjustment of the caster wheels.
