8.2.1.1 Kimba Neo seating unit

Adjusting the tilt-limiting mechanism after rotating the seat
The seat adapter is equipped with a tilt-limiter 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 limits.
The tilt-limiter must be adjusted as follows every time the seating unit is rotated:
1) Operate the seat angle adjustment (see fig. 35) and move the seating unit forward to the stop.
→ The seat bottom is now tilted forward approx. 10°.
2) Remove the seating unit (see seating unit instructions for use: reference number 647H893).
→ 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) to the desired position according to the installation direction
of the seating unit:
→ 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) Put on the seating unit (see seating unit instructions for use: reference number 647H893).
7) Check that the tilt-limiter 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.
→ The adjustment range of the seating unit must not exceed approx. 10° to the front and 40° to the rear. If this
is not the case, the limit hook (see fig. 33/see fig. 34, item 2) is not in the correct position and must be
adjusted accordingly (see steps 2–6).
