Important Information – Driver's Swivel

If your van is fitted with a fixed double passenger seat, the driver's swivel may not rotate fully unless a swivel plate is also installed beneath the double passenger seat.

How to Rotate Your RIB Seat Swivel

1. Prepare the vehicle: Switch off the engine and put the vehicle in gear.

2. Release the handbrake: Temporarily release the handbrake to allow the seat to rotate.

3. Adjust the seat height: If your seat has height adjustment, raise it slightly if necessary to prevent it catching on surrounding components.

4. Check the handbrake cover: If your van has a plastic handbrake cover, it may need to be removed and replaced with a fabric slip-on cover.

5. Rotate the seat: Turn the seat to face the rear of the vehicle.

6. Re-engage the handbrake: Once the seat is facing the rear, re-engage the handbrake.

Important: Always follow the vehicle and swivel manufacturer's safety instructions, and ensure the seat is correctly locked in the forward-facing position before driving.
