German translation:schwergängig

Explanation:
bad English

the rear backrest is probably split 60:40 (in German often called 2/3 to 1/3), and the mechanism for folding down the smaller section is stiff

sth. like:
Mechanismus zum Umklappen des "Ein-Drittel-Teils" der hinteren
Rückenlehne ist schwergängig

I'm sure the native Germans can improve on that...
