Congratulations on the purchase of a RUCK® STOOL BIOSWING
With the RUCK®STOOL BIOSWING, you are making an appreciable contribution to sitting er-
gonomically and you are supporting your back muscles in a particularly effective manner. The
BIOSWING system is a unique technology. Movable toward all sides, with controlled cushion-
ing effect and dynamic reflection of the body’s energy. Continuous micro-impulses influence
the postural muscles and encourage an active sense of equilibrium. This results in improved
concentration and higher performance throughout the working day.
In order to use all settings optimally, please read these operating instructions.
Kind regards, HELLMUT RUCK GmbH

OPERATIONSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS | OPERATION
Use the RUCK®STOOL BIOSWING exclusively for seating purposes according to the
intended use. Never step onto a swivel chair!
SEAT HEIGHT
The angle of the thigh and calf should range from a right angle to a slightly open
angle. The seat height should be set at the level of the hollow of the knee. Both feet
should be make contact with the floor across their entire length.
LOWERING SEATING SURFACE
Pull the control handle upward while seated and release at the desired position. Pay attention
to the risk of getting caught between the base and the seat workings when lowering the seating
surface.
RAISING SEATING SURFACE
Take pressure off the seat, pull the control handle upwards, and release at the desired position.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT INCLINATION
To support the physiologically correct pelvic tilt, you can adjust the seating surface either with
permanent contact or at any tilt. The tilt ensures the desired straightening of the spine in its
natural double-S position.
SEAT INCLINATION WITH PERMANENT CONTACT
While seated, push the control handle forward and then down. The seating surface tilts in
accordance with the shifting body weight and calf position. Deactivate it by pulling the control
handle upwards.
INDIVIDUAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE SEAT INCLINATION
While seated, press the control handle forward and determine the desired tilt by shifting your
weight/thigh position, and then release the control handle.

ADJUSTING THE SEAT DEPTH
With the seat depth adjustment, you can optimally adjust the seating surface to your thigh. Note
that the seat front edge is about 3 finger widths from the hollow of the knee.
INDIVIDUAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE SEATING SURFACE
While seated, pull the control handle up and simultaneously change the seat depth by pushing
the seat cushion forward or backward.
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE BACKREST
You can adjust the backrest individually to your height. While seated, use both hands to reach
backwards and raise or lower the backrest to the desired height by sliding it. Please note: The
backrest can only be slid down when it is in the highest position.

BACKREST TILT
The backrest adjustment enables stepless tilting. This can be fixed or follow your movements
with the permanent function. In this way you promote dynamic seating behaviour in particular.
For the permanent function, pull the control handle upwards while seated – the backrest fol-
lows your movements. If you release the lever, the backrest tilt is fixed. If you press the control
handle up and back, permanent contact is continuously activated.
VARIOBACKMATIC (BACKREST TILT/PRESSURE)
VarioBackMatic is the stepless back pressure adjustment for optimised seating. Try to choose
the setting so that you never have the feeling of using a great amount of force when you lean
back. While seated, pull the control handle up. The backrest follows your movements. Release
the lever and the backrest is fixed in its tilt. You can activate permanent contact by pulling the
control handle up and pushing it backwards. You can activate back pressure by pulling the
control handle up while seated and pushing it backwards. The backrest can be moved in the
tilt. Turn the hand wheel, at the front right under the seat, clockwise to increase the back pres-
sure; turning it anti-clockwise decreases the pressure.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTIONCLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Danger of damage due to incorrect care of leatherette, plastics and wood
surfaces!
Disinfect the contact surfaces after each treatment with RUCK surface disinfection wipes, al-
cohol-free (item no. 2967002, item no. 2967102 or item no. 2967202) for medical devices.
Please observe the exposure times of the disinfectants according to the product labelling. One
minute for bacteria, five minutes for fungi. Further information on the disinfectant.
Danger of damage due to improper care of surfaces. Do not use any concentrated disinfect-
ants, solvents, cleaning agents or liquids that contain alcohol (> 50 % alcohol content). Do not
use spray disinfection.
Take great care to ensure that the cleaning utensils used are clean. If mineral contaminants
such as grains of sand or dust are embedded in the cleaning agents, this can destroy the sur-
face. Do not use any scouring agents, such as abrasive cleaners, cleaning sponges or similar
items that may contain abrasive particles. Residues of leaked fluids must be removed from the
surface immediately with a soft cloth.
For gentle cleaning of the surfaces, use a soft cotton cloth or the RUCK microfibre cloth which
is gentle on surfaces (item no. 29616).
Caution: Other cleaning cloths with plastic fibres can have an abrasive effect and consequently
they can damage the surface.
Over time, traces of use can appear on the surfaces. These are more or less noticeable de-
pending on light incidence. They do not constitute a lessening of utility. As is the case with all
surfaces over the long term, due to the wear involved in the daily routine of the medical prac-
tice, they cannot be avoided. Spots or stains caused by liquids that may corrode the surface
(such as propolis, tea tree oil, cleaners that contain chlorine or similar substances) are categor-
ically excluded from the warranty.
Cushion discolouration due to articles of clothing
Clothing, such as jeans, can cause discolouration of the cushion surfaces. If possible, you
should attempt to remove discolouration residues with a soft cloth and the RUCK®leatherette
cleaner and care product, 500 ml(item no. 2947001). RUCK recommends that you use dis-
posable covers whenever possible. After cleaning and disinfection, surface disinfectants must
be allowed to effectively evaporate before the next treatment; i.e. allow surface disinfectants to
thoroughly dry as specified by the manufacturer, but do not wipe surfaces dry.

RECOMMENDATION FOR CUSHION REPLACEMENT
Because the cushions of the treatment chairs
are constantly subjected to significant stress, we
recommend reupholstery after approx. three years (with normal use).
As shown in the illustrations below, the cushions of the treatment chair can be replaced
individually.
MAINTENANCE
Your RUCK® STOOL BIOSWING is maintenance-free during normal use.
GAS-PRESSURISED SPRINGS
Replacement and work in the area of the gas-pressurised springs for height adjust-
ment may only be carried out by trained specialists. Do not heat or open gas-pres-
surised springs by force.
CASTORS
For your safety, the RUCK®BIOSWING CHAIRseries is equipped with self-braking castors to
impede movement in the unloaded state. When you change your floor covering, make sure
to choose the correct castors. When used on soft floors (such as carpet), the chair should be
equipped with hard castors. The hard castors are monochromatic. When used on hard floors
(such as parquet, tiles, linoleum), the chair should be equipped with soft castors. The soft cas-
tors are dichromatic, that means that the tread has a different colour.
If you have any questions, please also contact our RUCK SERVICE department.

TECHNICAL DATAWARRANTY
WARRANTY
The product comes with a 2-year warranty. Normal wear of surfaces, casters, handles etc., and
other moving parts is excluded from the warranty. Traces of use and signs of wear and tear
due to age and use, which are based on normal use corresponding to the performance values
and the nature of the product, are in accordance with the contract and are not defects in the
legal sense.
The warranty runs from the date of purchase when the product was first bought. The date of
purchase must be confirmed by the sales receipt. Within the scope of the warranty, HELLMUT
RUCK GmbH will, at no charge, either repair or replace the defective products, at RUCK’s
discretion.
The prerequisite is carriage-paid shipment of the defective product together with the purchase
receipt. The local agent is responsible for claims made outside of Germany. In case of doubt,
please check with RUCK before returning the device.
The warranty becomes null and void if we find that the problem was caused by improper or
incorrect installation/assembly or usage, by non-observance of the instructions for use, by ex-
ternal intervention or as a result of a non-authorised repair or modification.
The warranty is limited to repair or replacement of the product. Further liability (particularly
loss of revenue or earnings) is excluded. If however, it turns out that it is a problem that is not
covered by the terms of the warranty or that the period of the guarantee has elapsed, any costs
for inspection and repair must be borne by the customer.
We reserve the right to make changes to and deviations from the technical design.
