D. TILT-IN-SPACE
The Kids FAST Chair is equipped with a tilt-in-space mechanism that
pivots around a point near the child’s center of gravity. This
mechanism reduces the feeling of falling that occurs when the chair is
tilted. In addition, the tilt-in-space mechanism keeps the child’s
center of gravity nearly the same in relation to the wheelbase of the
chair so that the stability of the chair is not significantly changed by
moving the tilt position.
To adjust the tilt angle of the child:
1. Verify that the ACTIVE handle is in the locked state. See the
operating instructions for the “ACTIVE handle” in part H for
instructions on the active feature.
2. While holding onto the active cross bar [A], use the tilt lever [B]
to release the tilt lock (
Fig. 26
).
3. Move the child to the desired tilt angle.
4. Release the lever to engage the tilt lock.
5. Pull up and push down slightly on the active cross bar [A] to
verify that the tilt lock is fully engaged.

WARNING: In preparation to operate the tilt:
Always verify that the arms of the child are
stable and within the seat base side plates.
Always verify that the child’s legs are sta-
ble on the footrest.
Never place hands, feet or foreign objects
into the tilt mechanism.
Never add chair accessories that are not
specifically designed for the Kids FAST
Chair.
Never exceed a tilted position that aligns
the backrest parallel to the ground.
WARNING: Always verify that tilt brackets
are fully engaged into black plastic plate.
