Seat Position Adjustment (Standard Seat)
• Fore and aft adjustment – it is recommended that the
seat be adjusted so that the thigh is horizontal to the
ground so that the best ergonomic position is achieved.
See Figure 13.
Seat Position Adjustment (Swivel Seat)
• The seat swivels 12 degrees to the right to allow the
operator a more ergonomic position when driving in
reverse.
• The seat swivels 5 degrees to the left to allow an easier
exit of the truck.
• The neutral position is shown in Figure 13.

Seat Adjustment for Operator Weight
CAUTION
A major cause for high Whole Body Vibration is caused
by the operator not adjusting the seat to his/her weight.
NOTE: It is important to adjust the weight setting for each
operator.
NOTE: The seat is designed for a maximum weight of
135 kg (298 lb)
• The target is for the "ride indicator" to fall between the
arrows when the operator sits upright in the seat with the
feet positioned on the pedals. This ensures that the
operator is set at the midpoint of the 80 mm (3.5 in.) sus-
pension.
• The handle can be turned as shown to increase or
decrease the weight resistance, pull handle out before
turning. As the handle is turned the "stiffness" of the sus-
pension can be felt to increase or decrease depending
on which way the handle is turned.
