6. Seat settings
6.1 Seat height
SWINGBO VTi-XL offers seat height adjustment from 41 - 51 cm.
The adjustment is influenced by 4 things: the wheel fork and the
correspondingly selected hole position, the axle position and the seat
position.
Steering wheel fork and hole position
2 different fork types are available. Short or long.
The short fork offers 3 hole 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.
Seat position
The seat unit can basically be inserted into the upper or lower slotted
hole of the base plate. This results in a seat 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.
Axle position
Zuletzt besteht die Möglichkeit die Achse auf verschiedenen Höhen
zu positionieren. Die Basisplatte bietet hier 6 Positionen zu je 7,5 mm.
Hierraus ergibt sich ein Verstellbereich von insgesamt 3,75 cm
Frame alignment
The frame of SWINGBO VTi-XL can be aligned in two ways. This results
in different adjustment ranges.
Frame alignment high
14
Frame alignment low
Depending on the wheel camber and individual requirements, the following guidelines result:
15
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.
16
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 a different 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 a 4 mm 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.
0 - 10 cm
Setting active degree 0 - 5 cm:
If the pressure plate is attached to the base plate as shown, moving the
seat unit results in an adjustment range of 0 - 5 cm.
Setting active degree 6 - 10 cm:
If a larger 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.
6.4 Back height
First of all, a distinction must be made between a trough-shaped backrest and an angle-adjustable backrest.
17
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
After loosening the indicated screw connections, the back can be
pulled out or pushed in.
The angle-adjustable back offers the following ranges:
Seat width (SW)
32
36
40
44
Backrest height for
angle adjustable back
41-50
45-54
50-59
54-63
After loosening the indicated screw connections, the back can be
pulled out or pushed in.
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.
18
The tilt is triggered by a locking pin pull, which is controlled by a release
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:
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
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.
!
The back sits here in front of the of the
push handles or the push bar and remains
unaffected by their function.
!
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.
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°.
19
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 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!
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.
20
Depending on how the latch housing is screwed to the back base plate,
there is an adjustment range of either 75°-115° or 80°-120°.
If the housing is screwed in the upper position shown, the adjustment
range is 80°-120°.
If the housing is screwed in the lower position shown, the adjustment
range is 75°-115°.
Bolting point of the latch housing with locking bolt on the back base
plate.
6.7 Lower leg length
SWINGBO VTi-XL can basically be equipped with 3 different footrest
hanger.
Shown here is the footrest hanger 90°.
The footrest hanger can be swivelled up via the towing latches,
but not fixed.
Version for short LL (20-36 cm) or long LL (20-41 cm)
Footrest hanger angle adjustable
Adjustable between 85° and 160° via clamping lever.
Version for short LL (20-36 cm) or long LL (20-41 cm)
Single foot rest hanger, for individual adjustment of both legs
Adjustable between 85° and 160° via clamping lever.
Version for short LL (20-36 cm) or long LL (20-41 cm)
21
The height of the footrest is adjusted by loosening the wing nuts on the
back.
The footrest mounted on the support can then be adjusted to the individual needs.
6.8 Footrest angle
The footrest angle is preset to 90°. The adjustment range is +- 10°
(80°- 100°).
After loosening the four marked screw connections on the footrest holder
the footrest can be adjusted in depth.
This changes the anchor point of the footrest and thus also the footrest
angle. The further the footrest is pulled out to the front, the the greater
the angle. If the procedure is reversed the angle decreases accordingly.
6.9 Armrest height and angle
SWINGBO VTi-XL offers various adjustable armrest heights.
Size 1: 14-21 cm
Size 2: 19-26 cm
Standard:
Kantelausgleich: Size 1: 15-23 cm
Size 2: 18-26 cm
The standard armrests always remain firmly in position and move analogously to the wheelchair movement during the tilting movement.
The height can be adjusted in steps of 7x1.25 cm by repositioning the
front and rear screw connections.
22
The armrest with tilt compensation remains as horizontal as possible
during the tilting movement and is therefore more suitable for use with a
table.
The height can be adjusted in x1.5 cm steps by repositioning the front
and rear screw connections.
To loosen the screws, first tilt the chair to 45°.
Then the front screws can be loosened first.
Then loosen the rear screws and adjust the armrests to the desired
height.
By using a different hole position, the general angle of inclination can
also be adjusted.
If the front hole is used as shown here, the armrest is aligned more
steeply.
If the rear hole is used, the flatter and more horizontal the armrest is in a
tilted position.
