6. Seat settings
6.1 Seat height
SWINGBO VTi-XL offers seat height adjustment from 41 -51 cm.
The adjustment is inuenced by 4things: the wheel fork and the
correspondingly selected hole position, the axle position and the seat
position.
Axle position
Zuletzt besteht die Möglichkeit die Achse auf verschiedenen Höhen
zu positionieren. Die Basisplatte bietet hier 6Positionen zu je 7,5 mm.
Hierraus ergibt sich ein Verstellbereich von insgesamt 3,75 cm
Seat position
The seat unit can basically be inserted into the upper or lower slotted
hole of the base plate. This results in aseat height difference of 2 cm.
To loosen the seat unit completely, remove the marked screws on both
sides. Then the base plates can be carefully moved apart and the seat
can be removed.
Steering wheel fork and hole position
2different fork types are available. Short or long.
The short fork offers 3hole positions, the long 4.
The holes are spaced 12.5 mm apart, giving an adjustment range of
2.5 cm for the short fork and 3.75 cm for the long fork.
Frame alignment
The frame of SWINGBO VTi-XL can be aligned in two ways. This results
in different adjustment ranges.
Frame alignment high

6.2 Seat depth
SWINGBO VTi-XL offers a seat depth adjustment range of 12 cm.
Measured from the outer edge of the backrest plate to the front edge of
the seat plate.
To adjust the seat depth, a total of 4 screws must be loosened.
First, the chair is tilted to 45° to reach and loosen the front screw
connections.

17
After the front screw connections have been loosened, the rear screw
connections must be found.
Due to the design of the SWINGBO VTi XL and the individual seat
height settings, the rear screw connections are not always directly
visible.
In this case, the seat unit may have to be moved to adifferent seat
angle position in order to make the screw connection between the
oblong holes visible.
Here it is also possible to work through the hole on the pressure plate
with a4mm Allen key.
The seat plate can then be moved forwards and backwards.
6.3 Active degree
The active degree describes the ratio of the position of the backrest
relative to the drive wheel axis. The further the backrest is set behind
the the drive wheel axle, the more active SWINGBO VTi XL can be
driven.
SWINGBO VTi offers a total active degree adjustment range of 10 cm.
Setting active degree 0-5cm:
If the pressure plate is attached to the base plate as shown, moving the
seat unit results in an adjustment range of 0-5cm.
Setting active degree 6-10 cm:
If alarger active degree range is to be set, both pressure plates must
be loosened and removed.
Then the plates are exchanged from the left side of the chair to the right
and vice versa.
The resulting attachment is shown in the picture.
0 - 10 cm
6.4 Back height
First of all, a distinction must be made between a trough-shaped back-
rest and an angle-adjustable backrest.

18
6.5 Seat angle
The tilt in space of SWINGBO VTi can be adjusted between -5° and
+45°.
13 positions of 4° each can be individually adjusted.
After loosening the indicated screw connections, the back can be
pulled out or pushed in.
After loosening the indicated screw connections, the back can be
pulled out or pushed in.
The angle-adjustable back offers the following ranges:
The trough back offers the following adjustment ranges depending
on the seat width:
Seat width (SW) 32 36 40 44
Backrest height for
trough shaped back 40-50 43-55 45-57 48-60
Seat width (SW) 32 36 40 44
Backrest height for
angle adjustable back 41-50 45-54 50-59 54-63

19
The tilt is triggered by alocking pin pull, which is controlled by arelease
lever on the push bar or push handle.
6.6 Back angle adjustment
The back angle adjustment on the SWINGBO VTi XL depends on the
selected push bar/push handle variant and the corresponding back.
A distinction must be made here:
Push bar/handles removable with back angle adjustable
The angle of the push handles themselves cannot be adjusted, but they
can be removed for small transport dimensions via clamping levers and
tripod springs.
Depending on how the back plate is screwed to the base, the
adjustment range is either 75°-115° or 80°-120°
If the back plate is screwed in the positions shown on the left,
the adjustment range is 80°-120°.
If the backrest plate is screwed into the positions shown on the right
the adjustment range is 75°-115°.
The back itself offers a total adjustment range of 40° and can be
operated via the release strap on the back.
In addition, the back can be folded forwards for small transport
dimensions.
1. Push bar/handles removable with
angle adjustable back
2. Push bar/handles foldable with back in
trough shape
3. Angle-adjustable and foldable push
bar with trough-shaped backrest
The back sits here in front of the of the
push handles or the push bar and remains
unaffected by their function.
!!

20
The back angle can be set to 5 different angles depending on how it is
screwed to the seat mount.
Front hole: 105°
Second hole: 100°
Third hole: 95°
Fourth hole: 90°
Rear hole: 85°
In addition, the back can also be folded down with the push handles/bars
to achieve a small transport size.
To do this, the releases on the left and right are pushed upwards and
then the back is folded down.
Angle-adjustable and foldable push bar with trough-shaped
backrest
As with the foldable push handles/ bar, only the moulded backrest can
be used!
Push bar/handles foldable with trough-shaped backrest
In contrast to the detachable push handles, the back is directly attached
to the foldable push handles. In addition, the back is always used in the
shape of a trough.
The back with the push handles/bars offers an adjustment range of of
40° and can be operated via the release strap on the back.
