8.2.1.1 Kimba Neo seating unit
Adjusting the tilt-limiting mechanism after rotating the seat
The seat adapter is equipped with a tilt-limiter as standard equipment (see fig. 33). This feature ensures that the
seat angle of the seating unit cannot be adjusted forward or backward beyond the permissible limits.
The tilt-limiter
must be adjusted as follows every time the seating unit is rotated
:
1) Operate the seat angle adjustment (see fig. 35) and move the seating unit forward to the stop.
→
The seat bottom is now tilted forward approx. 10°.
2) Remove the seating unit (see seating unit instructions for use: reference number 647H893).
→
The seat adapter is now freely accessible.
3) Pull the key ring (see fig. 33/see fig. 34, item 1) to release the locking pin.
4) Move the limit hook (see fig. 33/see fig. 34, item 2) to the desired position according to the installation direction
of the seating unit:
→
Limit hook down (see fig. 33): mount seat facing forward.
→
Limit hook up (see fig. 34): mount seat facing backward.
5) Make sure that the locking pin clicks fully/audibly into place after adjustment.
6) Put on the seating unit (see seating unit instructions for use: reference number 647H893).
7) Check that the tilt-limiter is functioning:
→
In order to do so, activate the seat angle adjustment (see fig. 35 for seat angle adjustment on the mobility
base: see next section) and move the seating unit forward/back.
→
The adjustment range of the seating unit must not exceed approx. 10° to the front and 40° to the rear. If this
is not the case, the limit hook (see fig. 33/see fig. 34, item 2) is not in the correct position and must be
adjusted accordingly (see steps 2–6).
INFORMATION
Further settings are described in the seating unit instructions for use.
