Seat tilt-in-space adjustment
To adjust the seat tilt-in-space, use the pedal on the
left
side of the rear frame (fig. 2-3). First,
engage the brakes. Now either push the seat unit forwards (at the back, the armrests or the
push bar, if available) or pull it backwards until the desired angle is reached. To keep the
angle, remove your foot from the pedal. The seat tilt-in-space can also be adjusted during
use of the chair. It may then be necessary for two people to adjust the desired seat angle. For
safety reasons the seat tilt-in-space adjustment can be locked. The adjustment is locked when
the locking pin to the left of the pedal is engaged (fig. 2). To unlock, pull out the locking pin
and do a quarter turn.
IMPORTANT:
The seat height adjustment and seat tilt-in-space adjustment should always be locked during
use of the chair.
CAUTION:
When adjusting the seat height or seat tilt-in-space one person must secure the seating systems with both
hands to avoid sudden changes of the child’s position. We recommend carrying out this setting without
the child in the seat unit.
Parking brake function
Locking / releasing the castors
The rear castors are equipped with easily accessible and easy to use brakes. To lock the castors press the locking device
down. By pushing the locking device up again the castors become flexible. The brakes prevent the castors both from
turning and from swivelling, so that the base frame can be safely parked via the rear wheels alone (fig. 6).
