2.7 General settings
To use the FLOYD seat pan subframe correctly, it needs to be set right. Some im-
portant points are as follows:
• With the seat angled more, the rear wheels should be moved back – and
moved forwards with a slight tilt.
• The axle of the rear wheels are positioned vertically under the
hip joint for persons driving themselves.
2.8 Utilisation training
Carry out the rst driving attempts on an even surface without a passenger until you
have got used to the FLOYD seat pan subframe. You must take extra care when
driving hills and slopes or when overcoming obstacles.
Use the tip protectors for initial uses (optional).
Never carry the FLOYD seat pan subframe – risk of accident!
2.9 Climbing stairs
Stairs may only be attempted with a minimum of
2 accompanying persons. The helpers may only
hold the frame and xed frame parts without lif-
ting FLOYD (carrying)!
When driving up stairs, the helper at the back
holds the chassis on the xed handles and pulls
over the steps and the helper at the bottom holds
the front frame tubes and stabilises the position.
They also press the chassis into the steps parallel to the oor.
When lowering, the bottom helper brakes by pressing the chassis in stages. The
top helper provides counterpressure on the push bars and holds the chassis in the
right position. The chassis must be rolled down step by step.
Please check whether the groups on the back tubes are locked in
place! Bags and objects must be removed from the backrest to avoid
hindering the accompanying person.

3. Settings
3.1 Seat tilt
The FLOYD seat can be adjusted by 30° in
the basic position using the gas pressure
spring. You must press the trigger lever (A) on
the right side on the push bar or push handle
or assist by lightly pulling or pushing. Once the
required seat angle has been achieved, the gas
pressure spring is blocked again by releasing the
trigger lever.
A
There is an increased risk of tip-
ping over with a tilted seat! We
therefore recommend using the
optional anti tip bar.
3.2 Back angle adjustment with snap joint
The back frame can be precisely adjusted in the
angle to the seat frame. The adjustment is made
after loosening the two star handles (B) on the
right and left at the lower end of the back frame.
Always hold the back with one hand when adjus-
ting.
The back can also be fully folded down onto the
seat frame for easier transport.
There is an increased risk of tipping
over when adjusting the back more
than 90° to the seat frame!

3.3 Back angle adjustment with quick adjustment
The back can be adjusted with the fast mechanical adjustment at an angle of 90°
to 120° to the seat frame.
For versions with a gas pressure spring, the adjustment is made by pressing the
lever on the gas pressure spring (A) and by releasing the clamp lever (B) for the
mechanical version.

The back can be folded down onto the seat frame for
easier transport. Press the button on the quick release
axle on the lower end of the centralised fast mechanical
adjustment and take out the quick release axle.
When folding back, place the fast mechanical adjustment
in the adapter and reattach the quick release axle.

by loosening both screws (A) on the horizontal
tubes.
The setting may only may made with the seat unoccupied.
Max. height adjustment 8 cm!

The height of the gas pressure spring or the two
gas pressure springs for versions with double gas
pressure springs must then be adjusted. Loosen
the screw connections (B) for this and aligned
to the corresponding hole distance (in the same
way as the horizontal tubes have been adjusted).
Tighten the screw connections again after all ad-
justments.
