All seats have forward and aft
movement, controlled by the bar
under the front of the seat cushion.
The reclining seat has a fine adjusting
wheel on the side of the back rest,
which changes the angle when
rotated forward or backward. A small
lever below the wheel allows the seat
back to be folded down onto the
cushion.

when raised back up. The locking
point will vary with the angle set on
the wheel.
On the Sports seat, the whole seat can
be pivioted at the front to improve
access to the rear. The catch is
released by pulling the small loop
below the front of the cushion, above
the slider release. The loop must be
pulled to secure the seat again.
