Driver's seats that have been adjusted incorrectly have a smaller moving area. To prevent
damage to the driver's back and to the seat, the driver's 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's
seat.
Before commissioning of the driver's seat, possible packaging material has to be
removed from the seat cushion and the backrest upholstery.
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.
After removal of the backrest upholstery, the backrest frame must be supported, 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.
Never reach into the adjustment mechanisms and the suspension system of the seat.
– CRUSHING HAZARD FOR HANDS AND FINGERS –
Any changes to the series standard of the seat (for example fitting parts which are not
original GRAMMER parts) may impair the safety standard to which it has been tested.
Functions may be impaired, threatening your safety. For this reason, any change in
design of the seat must be approved by GRAMMER.
During the removal and installation of the driver's seat, the corresponding instructions by
the specific vehicle manufacturer must be strictly observed!
Do not hold onto the covers for lifting the driver's seats. If you do so anyway, there is an
increased risk of injury due to loosening or breaking covers.
Before you remove the driver's seat, disconnect all plug-in connections between the seat
and the vehicle supply network. When you replace the plug-in connectors, make sure they
are tight (dust, water).
Seatbelts can be retrofitted to the driver's seat. Seatbelts may only be fitted on the
approval of the vehicle manufacturer, as they increase the load in the seat mounting
area.
Seatbelts must be fitted in accordance with specific national regulations and guidelines,
and must be approved by GRAMMER.
Retrofitted seatbelts must be fastened before driving.
The seatbelts must be replaced after an accident.
Where seatbelts are fitted to the driver's seat, the seat and seat mounting must be
checked 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.
