1. Raise up the backrest (see 4.2 Backrest inclination adjustment) (without Fig.).
2. Insert headrest correctly (see 4.3 Headrest adjustment) (without Fig.).
2.1 Mounting the guide rails (option)
The mounting of the optional guide rail set of the company GREINER GmbH is described here.
1. Move the two guide rails to the mounting position as shown.
If necessary, after loosening the locking mechanism (screwdriver), move the guide rails until the
two rear mounting points (A) are accessible.
A. Rear mounting points
Fig. 1 Mounting the guide rails (option) - move the guide rails into mounting position
2. Move the seat to the mounting position (seat in reclining position - seat and backrest upholstery
downwards - use a clean underlay, if necessary).
3. Align the two guide rails (B) as shown (do not mix up right and left or top and bottom).
4. First screw in the two rear fastening screws (C) together with the toothed washers (D) (only apply
the screw head - do not tighten).
B. Guide rail
C. Fastening screw
D. Toothed washer

cessible.
9. Then tighten each of the two rear fastening screws to 25 Nm.
Fig. 5 Mounting the guide rails (option) - tighten the rear fastening screws
10. Carry out a final functional check of the guide rails and their locking mechanism (see 4.1 Seat
length adjustment (option)).
WARNING
The fixing of the seat is relevant to safety and must therefore be strictly observed.
The standard screw set for fastening is matched to the optional guide rail set of GREINER GmbH.
When fastening to other guide rails or directly to adapters or brackets, the minimum or maximum
screw-in depth from the surface contour of the six screw-on points on the seat must be observed.
Minimum screw-in depth 20 mm
Maximum screw-in depth 25 mm
The selection of screws with regard to head shape and strength class must be based on the stand-
ard screw set for fastening by GREINER GmbH. When using screws not coated with polyamide, it
is essential to use a suitable liquid screw locking.

2.3 Installing the seat in the vehicle
The installation of the retrofit seat in the vehicle is described here. Globally it can be said that the fixing screws
(usually 4) have to be removed and the retrofit seat has to be fixed to the vehicle structure by means of adapters
or brackets.
NOTE
Due to the variety of vehicles, the enclosed instructions must always be observed, depending on
the version of the adapter or bracket used.
2.3.1 Electrical connection (option)
NOTE
The battery must be disconnected before working on the electrical system of the vehicle.
The security code for recommissioning the radio, navigation system etc. should therefore be avail-
able.
The switch can be positioned as required
(cable length).
When installing, observe the required di-
ameter of 20 mm and the position of the
recess for locking the switch.
