Sedus swing up User Manual Manual

P Sit well back in the chair The anatomically shaped seat should be fully occupied. Only then is proper contact with the supporting backrest assured. „swing up“ can be optionally fitted with seat tilt and seat depth adjustment. These allow the seat to be adjusted individually to suit most body sizes. P Adjust the height of the seat precisely The correct seat height means that the elbow joint adopts an angle of about 90°when the forearms are resting horizontally on the desktop. The knee joint will also adopt an angle of about 90°when the feet are flat on the floor. If your desktop is too high, and cannot be lowered to a correct position, you need a footrest with adjustable height and tilt. P Adjust the backrest Adjust the backrest so that the curvature of the back- rest supports the spine in the region of the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae (where the forward curvature is greatest). This stabilises the natural S-shape of the spine in every sitting position. Similar-Swing mechanism innovation How it works The mobile Similar-Swing shell in combination with the “Similar” mechanism allows perfect synchronism with an expanded range of movement. The flexible seat follows the body’s movements to the left and right for enhanced comfort. The backrest and the armrests are not coupled with the flexible seat, allowing the user to feel securely supported at all times. The dorsokinetic mechanism, offering central suspen­ sion of the backrest at only one point, ensures optimal support of the back during rotating and lateral move­ ments. P Dynamic sitting Dynamic sitting means changing your sitting posture frequently, or in other words shifting as often as possible between the front and rear sitting posture. You should therefore adjust the backrest dynamically. „swing up“ is equipped with a “Similar-Plus” mechanism, allowing you to adjust the backrest pressure as best suits you. This ensures that the backrest and seat automatically give your body support in every sitting/ reclining position. Healthy sitting is a question of personalisation
