Accessories

The mobility base for seating shells is designed as a modular assembly system, which means that certain accessories
may be adapted to your it. The following options and accessories may make it easier to use your mobility base with
seating shell.
9.1. Angle adjustable back frame with loop spring mechanism (Fig. 8 and Fig. 12)
The angle between the back frame and seat frame can be adjusted continuously and variably using the lever (Fig. 12,
item 1). The inclination range is 80° to 120°.
• Attention: Increasing the angle between seat frame and back frame to more than 90° may only be done if the anti-
tipper is in operational position.
• Release the push handles or pushbar by loosening the clamping levers (Fig. 8, item 3) and move them into the
correct position. The adjustment range is 150 mm.
9.2. Back guide for seating shells (Fig. 13)
Insert the narrow side of the attachment plate into the long hole (item 1), rotate by 180° and tighten the plate with the
thumb screw (item 2). The back shell is now attached to the guide plate (item 3). When adjusting the back angle, the
back guide will move upward or downward correspondingly.
9.3. Wheel lock (Fig. 14)
If rear wheels with push rings are used, the Dino 3 can be additionally equipped with wheel locks.
For adjusting the wheel locks please read section "Adjusting the wheel lock" on page 24.
9.4. Wheel lock with reverse-roll locking device (Fig. 15)
For adjusting the wheel locks with reverse-roll locking device please read section "Adjusting the wheel lock" on
page 24.
The wheel lock with reverse-roll locking device allows pushing of the mobility base with seating shell while preventing it
from rolling backwards (e.g. when pushing uphill). If this function is desired, the lever (Fig. 15, item 1) must be pressed
downward. To cancel the brake effect when rolling backwards pull the lever back to its initial position.
9.5. Plug-on wheel lock lever extension (Fig. 15, item 2)
For easy handling of the wheel locks, the wheel lock lever extensions are just plugged on.
9.6. Tip-assist (Fig. 16)
For clearing obstacles like curbs etc. it may be necessary to tip the mobility base at the front. The tip-assist is used
to make tipping easier.
Step onto the tip-assist with your foot and pull the push handles / pushbar to the rear.
9.7. Anti-tipper, swing-away (Fig. 17)
Prevents the mobility base with seating shell from tipping too far backward. With slight downward pressure on the
anti-tipper (item 1) it can be disengaged and swung to the inside (item 2) (for mounting instructions, refer to page 24).
It is absolutely necessary that the anti-tipper be in functional position when tilting the seating unit to the rear or when
adjusting the angle between seat and back to more than 90°!
• Please note that with the anti-tipper swung to the rear, it will be impossible to clear obstacles (e.g. curbs) from
a certain height. To prevent a possible risk of accident, swing the anti-tipper to the front before driving over such
obstacles.
9.8. Spoke protectors (Fig. 18)
Prevent the fingers from getting injured between the spokes and improve the appearance of your mobility base.
9.9. Wheel cover (Fig. 19)
The wheel cover (Fig. 19, item 1) is plugged into the holding device (Fig. 19, item 2). To remove the wheel cover just
pull it out of the holding device.

9.9.1. Depth adjustment of the wheel cover

Loosen the screws (Fig. 19, item 3) and shift the wheel cover to the desired position. Fix in this position by tightening
the screws (Fig. 19, item 3).
9.10. Side panel with height adjustable armrests, depth adjustable (Fig. 20)
For adjusting the armrest height, loosen the screws (Fig. 20, item 1) and move the armrest to the desired height.
Secure this position using the set screw (Fig. 20, item 1).
For depth adjustment of the armrests please read section "Depth adjustment" under "Wheel cover".
9.11. Pushbar with ratchet joint (Fig. 21)
Allows height and angle adjustment of the pushbar to obtain a comfortable position for the attendant.
• By loosening the clamping levers (item 1) you can release the pushbar and bring it into the correct height. To adjust
the angle, loosen the clamping levers (item 2).
• Be sure to snugly retighten the clamping levers (item 1 and 2) after all adjustments.
9.12. "Parallel" seating shell interface (Fig. 22)
Easily attaches to the "Parallel" interface adapter by means of the clamping mechanism.
