6.2.5 Adjusting the seat angle

CAUTION
Incorrect use of the seat tilt feature
Tipping over, falling from the seating shell/seating system due to user error
► Practise the operation of the seat angle adjustment mechanism without the seated user at first.
► Only operate the seat angle adjustment mechanism on a level, firm surface.
► Only negotiate slopes and obstacles in the horizontal neutral position of the seat. Tilting the seat angle back
slightly when driving downhill is recommended.
► Only negotiate slopes where the holding forces remain manageable.
► When adjusting the seat tilt feature, secure the user from falling out to the front or rear. In order to do so,
firmly hold on to the push handle/push bar while operating the seat angle adjustment mechanism.
► Do not reach into the adjustment mechanism when changing the seat tilt settings.
INFORMATION
The function of the upper knob for the adjustment mechanism is not available on all outdoor mobility bases. The
procedure described below refers to the functions of the Kimba Neo seating unit when it is ordered and delivered
together with the Kimba Neo mobility base. Deviating from this, the seat angle adjustment release can be moun­
ted on the outdoor mobility base. Please observe the information given in the outdoor mobility base instructions
for use.
The seat can be adjusted as needed within a range of -10° to +35°:
1) Twist the upper knob clockwise to release the adjustment mechanism (see Fig. 13).
NOTICE! Damage to the seat adjustment. Turn the knob with normal manual force to the stop, until
you feel a clear resistance. Excessive turning of the knob will damage the adjustment mechanism.
2) Set the seat angle to the desired position (see Fig. 14).
CAUTION! With one hand, secure the occupant against falling out (e.g. by holding the upper body).
3) Release the knob.
→ The adjustment mechanism will lock automatically.
4) Press the backrest gently to the front/back to make sure that the seat angle is securely set. If this is not the
case, the position of the upper knob must be checked.
