8.2.1.2 Alternative seating systems without own seat angle adjustment
CAUTION
Incorrect handling of the seat tilt
Tipping over, falling out of the seating shell / seating system due to errors in handling the product
►
Before operating the seat tilt (seat angle adjustment), practise without the seated user.
►
Check the tip resistance each time after changing the seat tilt, especially in combination with a back support
angle setting. To do so, hold the product with both hands by the push handle/push bar.
►
When operating the seat tilt, always secure the user against falling out either forwards or backwards.
►
Only operate the seat tilt on a level, firm surface.
►
Before negotiating slopes or crossing obstacles, the seat tilt must be lowered (horizontal neutral position of
the seat). It is advisable to slightly tilt the seat to the rear when driving downhill.
►
Drive only on slopes where the holding forces remain manageable.
►
Do not reach into the adjustment mechanism when using the seat tilt.
With alternative seating systems that do not have a seat angle adjustment feature, the seat angle can be adjusted
using a rotary knob on the Kimba Neo outdoor mobility base. The alternative seating system can be adjusted as
needed within the range from
–10° to +40
1) Stand to the left of the rehab buggy and hold on to the back support for safety reasons (see fig. 36, item 1).
2) Twist the knob on the upper front part of the frame in the direction indicated by the arrow to release the adjust
ment mechanism (see fig. 36, item 2).
NOTICE! Damage to the seat adjustment. Turn the knob with normal manual force only to the stop
(until you feel a clear resistance). Excessive turning of the knob could damage the adjustment mech
anism.
3) Set the seat angle to the desired position (see fig. 37).
4) Let go of the knob and the adjustment mechanism will lock automatically.
5) Press the back support gently to the front/back to make sure that the seat angle is securely set. If this is not the
case, the position of the knob must be checked.
