Adjusting The Electrical Seat Tilt 0 - 45°, The Minimum Tilt Angle (0 - 9°) - Sunrise Medical Puma 20 Service Manual

Puma 20/40
5.2.23 Adjusting the electrical seat tilt 0 - 45°, the minimum tilt angle (0 – 9°)
With this adjustment the minimum / down limit angle of the
tilt can be set. On the left rear corner of the tilt module a
limit switch is placed which stops the downward movement.
This switch is triggered by a set screw which moves past.
Standard it is adjusted to stop at 0 degrees. The angle at
which the switch is triggered can be adjusted by turning
the set screw. The more the screw is turned inwards
(clockwise), the earlier the switch is triggered, and the
bigger the angle will be at which the tilt stops.
Preparation
Switch on the wheelchair via the remote control.
Instructions
• Tilt the seat backwards about 10 degrees
• Turn the set screw with use of a size 2 Allen key (a
quarter turn equals approx. 1 degree).
• Turning it clockwise will result in a bigger down limit
angle
• Turning it counterclockwise will result in a smaller
down limit angle

• Carefully tilt the seat forward until it stops, and check if
the resulting angle is as desired
Notice
Minimum angle adjustments of greater than 9 degrees are
not recommended. This is the angle at which the inhibit
switch is activated (for safety reasons), and drive speed is
automatically limited.
