Note
    • Seat Height measurement is based on 15.5″ Seat Width. Seat Height varies +/- 1.2″ with other Seat Widths. Variance in seat height affects effective Back Height, and effective Back Angle Bend.
    • Track Length is the distance between where the front and rear wheels contact the ground. This distance varies with axle position.
    • Overall Length is the distance from the front to the back of the chair. This distance varies with axle position.
    • Upper Back Support Angle describes the angle of the back above the Lumber area. At 8.75″ above the seat the back tilt increases from 8 degrees to desired tilt.
