4.2 Seat height/seat
inclination
Customised setting of seat height and
inclination involves:
– Vertical displacement of the axle
mounting (fig. 58/
) within the hole
plate ( ).
– Vertical displacement of the hole plate
(fig. 58/
).
– Changing the swivel wheel size.
– Setting the angle on the castor con-
trol socket (fig. 59/
).

4.2.1 Driving wheel position

Attention:
!
A horizontal displacement of the axle
mount (fig. 58/
) alters the wheel-
base and therefore the driving be-
haviour.
– The danger of tipping over increases
with each forward displacement of
the axle mount!
– Always drive with stabilisers in the
case of a short wheelbase in order to
increase the tip-over stability (fig.
60)!

4.2.2 Swivel wheel position

The required swivel wheel position (fig.
61) is determined according to the po-
sition specified for the driving wheel.
Note:
Each time the position of the driving
wheel is changed, the castor control
socket (fig. 59/
) must be reset.
