Electric Seat Tilt; Electric Back Angle Adjustment - Otto Bock Skippi Service Manual

Service Work

6.9 Electric seat tilt

The electric seat tilt can be added to the Skippi at any time.
First remove the manual seat tilt mechanism. Fold away the securing bow and pull the bolt out
of the respective bore hole (see section 6.6). Then unscrew the seat angle adjustment mecha-
nism from the upper attachment, below the seat plate, using two size 5 Allen wrenches.
Apply the actuator of the electric seat tilt so that the upper end with the cables fits the attach-
ment below the seat plate and tighten the screw connection.

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 actua-
tor 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.
