Adjusting Power Recline Backrest
djustments of the New Recline for seat pan are
similar to the old perfect fi t recline.
Refer to that portion of the Rhythm and Groove
service manual for those procedures.
1. The seat-back angle is adjusted thru
a change in programming. No mechanical
procedures are required.
2. The Pivot point may be moved up in
the seat-back bracket. The factory setting is 4”
measured from the top of the seat pan to the pivot
point. This may be adjusted in ¾” intervals. (fi g
8.1).
3. Use a 7/16” socket and ratchet to remove
the pivot point A. Raise it to the desired location
(fi g 8.2).
4. Reinsert and tighten the bolts securing the
pivot point.
5. As the pivot point is raised, the Recline
actuator and gas strut MUST also be raised
an equal amount. This is done by removing the
bolts B. (fi g 8.3).
Note: If the pivot is raised, it is suggested to
replace the back pan with a larger pan to
decrease the gap from the bottom of the backrest
to the seat pan.
