Tilt-in-Space
The Kids UP Series Wheelchair is equipped with a tilt-in-space mechanism that pivots around a point near the child’s
center of gravity. Tilt-in-space reduces the sense of falling that occurs when the wheelchair is tilted. In addition, the
tilt-in-space keeps the child’s center of gravity nearly the same in relation to the wheelbase of the wheelchair, so the
wheelchair’s stability is not significantly changed by moving the tilt position.
See figures 43 and 44.
WARNING! Before operating the tilt-in-space, ensure the child’s arms are stable on the armrests
or within the armrests and the child’s legs and feet are stable on the footrest.
WARNING! Do not place hands, feet or foreign objects into the tilt mechanism.
WARNING! Do not add any accessories to the wheelchair not specifically designed for Kids UP
Series Wheelchairs.
WARNING! Never exceed a tilt angle greater than 90° from an upright position. Never allow the
seatback to be lower than parallel to the ground.
To adjust the tilt angle of the child:
1. Verify the wheelchair is in the locked state. See “ACTIVE Motion” in V. “Comfort Adjustments.”
2. While holding the handlebar, use the lever on the handlebar to release the tilt lock.
See figures 45 and 46.
3. Move the shell assembly to the desired tilt angle.
4. Release the lever on the handlebar to engage the tilt lock.
5. Verify the tilt lock is fully engaged by slightly moving the handlebar up and down.
