Electric Back Angle Adjustment - Otto Bock Skippi Plus Service Manual

6.10 Electric back angle adjustment

For the electric back angle adjustment, a bracket is attached to the seat frame on the left side.
This bracket is part of the seat frame.

The actuator is pushed onto a bearing bolt with a diameter of 8 mm/0,3" on the left, front side of
the power wheelchair, below the seat plate. The bearing bolt is normally screwed into the rear
bore. Beforehand, two collar bushings are inserted into the bore hole to which the actuator will
be attached. These bushings reduce the diameter from 10 mm/0,4" to 8 mm/0,3" and at the
same time improve the bearing qualities. A self-locking nut M8 serves to secure this connection.
However, this nut may only be tightened to the extent that the actuator is still able to rotate on
the bolt.

The bracket of the back is inserted into the slot of the actuator attachment and secured with a bolt.
In case of the smallest seat depth setting, in which the back is attached more to the front by
20 mm/0,8", the bearing bolt for the actuator must be mounted in the front bore hole of the ac-
tuator bracket.
