cardboard packaging and place them all on
a level, clean, sturdy surface (the oor or a
table).
2. The seat can be set to one of three widths
(560/630/700 mm). The backrest is pre-as-
sembled for a seat width of 560 mm.
3. The rst step is to slot the backrest into the
side elements (1, Fig. 4). During assembly,
take care to ensure that the parts are all
aligned correctly and facing the right way.
The side element sockets for the plug-in
tubes should be pointing inwards. When
slotting the backrest into the side elements,
make sure that the backrest cushion is
facing forwards.

4. Align the side elements so that they are
parallel with each other (Fig. 5). Working
from the front, insert a bolt (M6 x 50 mm)
into each side element on the left and right
(1, Fig. 5). Then secure them rmly with the
knurled nuts on the rear of the product
(2, Fig. 5).
5. To adjust the seat width so that it is right for
you, proceed as follows: Loosen the knurled
nuts on the rear of the backrest cushion
(1, Fig. 6). Tilt the backrest cushion down
towards the oor (2, Fig. 6).
6. The bolts on the rear of the cushion are now
readily accessible and can be easily pulled
out of the cushion (1, Fig. 7).
7. The middle section inside the backrest is
now free to move. There are three holes on
each side for setting the required seat width
(560/630/700 mm). To adjust the width, pull
the side elements outwards (1, Fig. 8). When
adjusting the seat width, make sure that the
backrest remains centrally aligned.

You can mount the seat surface in one of two
positions (450/510 mm). The seat depth is mea-
sured from the backrest tube to the front edge
of the seat surface (see Chapter 5.1).
1. Select the seat depth that is right for you
(Fig. 11, 12). Please note that the select-
ed seat depth also determines where the
hygiene opening is located with the cover
attached to the seat surface.

gers during assembly to avoid getting them
trapped in moving parts.
Risk of accident: If you are able to lift the seat
surface up at either the front or the back follow-
ing assembly, it means that the plug-in tubes
have not been assembled correctly.

sockets between the side elements, ensuring
that it is lying straight (1, Fig. 13). To check
that it is tted correctly, shake the seat
surface gently. If the seat surface no longer
moves, it means that the locating bracket
underneath the seat surface has been posi-
tioned correctly.
3. Working from the side (left or right), insert
both plug-in tubes into the sockets under-
neath the seat surface (if necessary, gently
twist the plug-in tubes to make them slide
in more easily). Please ensure that the plug-
in tubes are fully inserted.
4. Try lifting up the seat surface to check that it
has been securely mounted. You should not
be able to lift it off the tube sockets at either
the front or the back.
5. Twist the plug-in tubes so that the openings
of the holes are pointing forwards and back-
wards. Insert the four tube linch pins from
the front and back (1, Fig. 14).
6. Finally, lock the tube linch pins around the
plug-in tubes (2, Fig. 14).
NOTE
If the plug-in tubes cannot be fully inserted, pro-
ceed as follows: Loosen all four knurled nuts on
the backrest and gently shake the side elements.
You should now nd that the plug-in tubes can
be inserted with ease. Finally, retighten all the
knurled nuts.
