Seat Depth Adjustment - Thomashilfen Hercules XL Gebrauchsanweisung

Instructions for Use – Hercules XL

Seat depth adjustment

Place the seat outside the vehicle on the back plate to gain access to the seat from
below. Loosen the seat depth adjustment screws under the seat with an Allen key.
(fig. 7) Lock the nuts above the seat plate with an open-ended spanner. (fig. 12) Slide
the upper seat plate to the desired depth. Then retighten all the screws.
Crotch strap adjustment
Tip: Change the setting outside the car to allow for sufficient space.
The crotch strap can be used in two positions on the seat. Loosen the belt buckle and
remove the crotch pad and the seat cushion from the seat plate. (fig. 13) Before adjust-
ing the crotch belt, the upper small plate (seat depth plate) must be unscrewed. It is
best to place the Hercules XL seat on the back plate so that the 2 screws are easier to
reach from below. (fig. 11)
Now thread the crotch strap in the desired position and make sure that the hook and
loop fastener holds well in the new position. (fig. 14) Now tighten the seat depth plate
again and guide the belt buckle through the seat cushion and crotch pad.
5-point positioning belt
Please note: The 5-point positioning belt is used to position the user in the seat and
does not protect the user in an accident. To secure the user in the seat, the 3-point
safety belt available in the car must always be used.
Adjusting the height of the shoulder straps
Loosen the shoulder straps behind the back padding. (fig. 15) Then pass them through
the belt guides in the back plate at a height suitable for the user. (fig. 16)
Note that the shoulder straps must be positioned above the user's shoulder. The upper
shoulder straps must be adjusted so that the belt tensioners do not rest on the user's
collarbone. (risk of injury)
