Manually using spindle

The seat angle is adjusted by means of a spindle, which is to be found at the front underneath the
seat frame.
When adjusting the seat angle it should be ensured that at least 1cm of the threaded bolt always
remains inside the spindle and is not completely unscrewed from the spindle.
NOTE
It is easier to adjust the angle of the seat when there is nobody sitting in the wheelchair.
