Assemble the seat as shown below and attach the
seat to the frame at the front mount. Check that the
bracket is aligned with the holes in the backend as
shown right. If it does not line up correctly you will
need to loosen the backend clamp bolts and slide
the backend in or out until it is correct.

2.3 Mesh seat cover
When new, both the seat cover and the straps
stretch a little, and in the first few weeks of
use you may need to re-tension the seat by
tightening up the straps. In time it will settle
down. For maximum comfort you may need to
tighten the cover more in some places than in
others. In general, the base of the seat should
be tight, and the back looser.
2.3a Seat angle
adjustment
The Mesh seat has 4 positions of adjustment,
and adjustment is simple and quick.
1. Loosen the seat angle adjustment
2. quick-release lever.
3. If you want to make the seat more reclined
set it to the slots closest to the seat cup. If
you want to make the seat less reclined,
then set it to the slots furthest from the seat
cup.
4. Re-tighten the seat angle adjustment
quick-release.
2.4 Hardshell seat
adjustment
In order to correctly mount your hardshell seat
onto the trike frame you will need to do the
following:
There are three positions where the top mount
brackets can be fitted. Bolt the brackets onto the
seat shell using the appropriate set of pre drilled
holes for the model of trike that you have.
Assemble seat then check / adjust the position
that the rear section of the frame is inserted into
the main frame.
Bolt the notched plates to the brackets if
required. The plates are used to give a range
of easy to adjust seat angles. On the Vortex the
brackets can be used on their own without the
notched plates if you require maximum recline.
