Operation Description:
The following three positions are available:
1, conventional seating (back down and seat base horizontal)
2. Lean into bolster (back down and seat base vertical)
3. Stand up bolster (back up and seat base vertical)
The seat base is changed from one position to the other by gripping the
front of the seat base and pivoting it up or down. Pushing on it will
release the snap clips holding it. After pivoting, the snap clips will
hold it in place.
The seat back is moved to the upper position by gripping the side
handles and pulling the seat back up and forward until the hooks are
engaged and latched. Latches are spring loaded and will engage
automatically. To lower the seat back, release the latches, pull the
seat back up to disengage the hook, then move it aft while lowering it
until the collars drop into their notches.
