7.2.1.1 Kimba Neo seating unit

Adjusting the tilt-limiting mechanism after rotating the seat
The seat adapter is equipped with a tilt-limiting mechanism as standard equipment (see fig. 33). This feature
ensures that the seat angle of the seating unit cannot be adjusted forward or backward beyond the permissible lim­
its.
The tilt-limiting mechanism must be adjusted as follows every time the seating unit is rotated:
1) Activate the seat angle adjustment (see fig. 35) and move the seating unit forward until it reaches the stop.
→ The seat is now tilted forward approx. 10%.
2) Remove the seating unit (Removing and mounting the seating unit).
→ The seat adapter is now freely accessible.
3) Pull the key ring (see fig. 33/see fig. 34, item 1) to release the locking pin.
4) Move the limit hook (see fig. 33/see fig. 34, item 2) into the desired position depending on the direction in
which the seating unit was installed:
→ Limit hook down (see fig. 33): mount seat facing forward.
→ Limit hook up (see fig. 34): mount seat facing backward.
5) Make sure that the locking pin clicks fully/audibly into place after adjustment.
6) Mount the seating unit (see Instructions for use – user, reference number 647G892).
7) Check that the tilt-limiting mechanism is functioning:
→ In order to do so, activate the seat angle adjustment (see fig. 35 for seat angle adjustment on the mobility
base: see next section) and move the seating unit forward/back.
