Adjusting The Back Support Angle - Otto Bock Kimba Instructions For Use Manual

CAUTION
Incorrect handling of the seat tilt
Tipping over, falling out of the seating shell/seating system due to user error
► First practise operating the seat tilt without the user.
► Operate the seat tilt only on a firm, level surface and with the wheel lock engaged.
► Before negotiating slopes or obstacles, always have the seat in the neutral, upright position. When driving
downhill, the seat should be tilted slightly backwards.
► Drive only on slopes where the holding forces remain manageable.
► When operating the seat tilt, always secure the user against falling out of the seating unit either forwards or
backwards. Do this by holding onto the back support of the respective seat with one hand.
► Do not reach into the adjustment mechanism when operating the seat tilt.
The seat angle (seat tilt) is adjusted on the Kimba outdoor mobility base/seating shell mobility base. For further
information, see the respective instructions for use.
• Kimba outdoor mobility base, Kimba Cross, Kimba Inline: see 647H1655=* instructions for use

7.1.4 Adjusting the back support angle

CAUTION
Change in centre of gravity following back angle adjustment
Falling over, falling out of the user due to adjustment errors
► After each modification of the back angle, check the tilt stability. To do so, hold the product with both hands
by the push handle/push bar.
CAUTION
Exposed pinch points
Crushing, pinching due to incorrect handling
► When folding the back support up or down, grasp only the specified components.
INFORMATION
Note that when adjusting the back support angle, the leg support must also be adjusted in such a way as to allow
a comfortable position for the user's feet.
The back support angle can be set in 11 locking positions in a range of 80°–180°.
1) Gently press the lateral supports on the sides of the back support slightly inwards to avoid damaging the
material (see fig. 10, item 1).
2) Press the child safety lock on the locking pin (red release button) (see fig. 11, item 1). While pressing the child
safety lock, pull the locking pin outwards (see fig. 11, item 2).
INFORMATION: As you do so, use the other hand to secure the back support to prevent uncontrolled
movements.
3) Set the back support to the desired angle.
INFORMATION: If the back support angle is set to 180° (maximum setting) the seating unit is in the
lying position (see fig. 12).
4) Let the locking pin audibly engage in one of the 11 locking positions. The locking pin locks automatically; the
red release button protrudes slightly (see fig. 13, item 1).
