OWNER’S MANUAL PAGE 29
Install the seat
Lay the seat mesh on top of your Catrike with the patch toward the top of the seat.
Insert the buckles into each other on the back of the seat leaving the straps loose and
position the seat mesh so that it is square on the frame, with the cutouts for the lower
seat support tubes positioned properly and tighten all the straps.
You will find handy pockets on the underside and back side of the seat. There is one
pocket under the lower portion of the seat ideally sized for a cellular phone, another
pocket on the back side ideally sized for snacks or tubes and tools and a special pocket
just for a small tire pump.
Once installed and over time the seat mesh will loosen a bit. This is normal. Adjust the
position and re-tighten as needed. The seat mesh will stretch a bit at first, requiring re-
tightening the straps, but will soon break in and stop moving. The comfort of the
Catrike seat comes from the mesh cradling and supporting your body, so it’s ok if the
buckles slip a bit as they find their preferred tension. Trying to keep then drum-tight is
not only futile, it’s not as comfortable as letting them support your body fully. There are
elastic strap keepers on the male straps. When the seat is fully adjusted tuck the excess
straps under the elastic keepers. This keeps the straps nice and tidy and away from the
chain and idler pulley.
