Lighting; Fig. 18 Mechanical Seat Tilt - Otto Bock B400 Instructions For Use Manual

Operation
CAUTION
Risk of injury as a result of abrupt lowering. Using the
release lever when the seat is tilted can lower the seat
abruptly.
INFORMATION
When getting into or out of the power wheelchair, bring
the seat to a level position.
The mechanical seat tilt adjustment lets you bring the seat
into a tilted position for pressure relief, for example. The
standard seat can be continuously tilted backwards up to
20°.
To tilt the seat backwards (see fig. 18):
n Use the release lever on the armrest (to unblock the gas
compression spring).
n Tilt the seat to the desired inclination.
n Let go of the release lever (to again block the gas com-
pression spring).

7.2 Lighting

INFORMATION
The B400 is delivered from the factory with a seat tilt of 3°.
The lighting is adjusted according to this seat tilt setting
and allows for non-dazzling drive for the oncoming traffic.
If you need another individual seat tilt setting during the
drive, it is necessary to adjust the lighting so as to ensure
the geometric visibility and not to dazzle the other road
users.
