WARNING: Danger of crushing
The seat is very heavy. If the seat is swivelled upward it does not lock into place. There is
danger of injury to your hands.
• Always secure the seat against dropping down, if you swivel it upwards.
• You should seek help from a second person.
• Maintenance work should be carried out only when the seat is completely tipped forward in
the service position. Therefore you need to retain the screws at the rear of the seat frame.
