Seat Position

Arm Rests

1.To adjust to the arm rest rotate the roller bearing, single- locking knob on the bottom of the arm. The angle of the arm can move up or down.

Mechanical Suspension Mechanism

1.To adjust the mechanical suspension mechanism, there is a lever on the front of the seat with an orange colored indicator arrow and guage.

2.Sit down in the operator’s position and look down at the center of the seat, flip the lever out towards the right and pull upward on the fold-out lever and “pump up” to increase seat load capacity and firmness. Push the lever downward to reduce the firmness and load capacity. Just center the orange-colored indicator on the guage to achieve your exact weight setting.

Lumbar Support
