Safety instructions
• The operating instructions should be read in full before use.
• The operating instructions should be kept in the vehicle and always be at hand.
• The driver seat may only be fitted, serviced and repaired by specialist personnel, in
accordance with national regulations and the vehicle manufacturer’s fitting instructions.
In the event of incorrect assembly and/or repair, all warranty and liability claims shall be
null and void.
The national fitting regulations can be obtained from or from agencies of the
company (see dealer directory), or from the vehicle manufacturer.
• A correctly functioning and individually adjusted driver seat is essential to your health. Take adequate care of your seat and have it serviced regularly to ensure that it functions correctly.
The functional checks should be carried out at least as regularly as vehicle services (see
maintenance plan for vehicle).
Safety instructions
• When making connections to the vehicle electrical system, pay attention to the information
on the rating plate (on the rear spring; push seat right forward to read). The seat connection must be separately fused:
•
-at 12V 10A (15A at seat heater)
-at 24V 10A (15A at seat heater)
•
• To prevent damage to the driver’s back, the seat must be adjusted for the driver’s weight
before use and before every change of driver.
• To prevent injury, no objects should be placed within the moving area of the driver
seat.
• To eliminate any risk of accident, the settings must be checked to ensure they are correctly engaged before the vehicle is driven.
• Adjustments must not be made while driving.
• When the backrest upholstery has been removed, the backrest frame must be sup-
ported, for example held in place, before the backrest adjuster is operated. If you fail to do
so, there is a danger that the backrest frame may jerk forward and cause injury.

in design of the seat must be approved by .
• Seatbelts can be retrofitted to the driver seat. Seatbelts may only be fitted on the approval of the vehicle manufacturer, as they increase the load in the seat mounting a-
rea.
Seatbelts must be fitted in accordance with specific national regulations and guidelines,
and must be approved by
• Seatbelts must be fastened before driving.
The seatbelts must be replaced after an accident.
Where seatbelts are fitted to the driver seat, the seat and seat mounting must be che-
cked additionally by specialist personnel after an accident has occurred.
• Fasteners must be checked regularly for tightness. If the seat wobbles there may be
loose bolts or other faults.
If the seat does not function correctly (for example the seat suspension), contact a speci-
alist workshop immediately to arrange for repairs to be carried out.
If you fail to do so, your health may be affected and the risk of accident increased.

vehicle) may only be installed with the prior approval of the vehicle manufacturer, and
may only be operated together with additional safety devices in the vehicle.
• Before driving the vehicle, the function of any switches fitted in the seat must be checked.
If malfunctions are detected the vehicle must not be driven.
