Checking Static Stability before using the Mobility Base with Seating Shell | Adjustment and Adaptation Possibilities
Removing and Mounting Seating Systems equipped with the 'Horacek' Seating Shell Interface (Fig. 5)
For transporting the mobility base with seating shell or to divide its weight into two more manageable loads, the
seat can easily be removed from the mobility base. This also allows for easy transfer of the seat between indoor
and outdoor mobility bases.
Position yourself on the side of the seating unit. Hold the head area of the seat back with one hand. Now reach
beneath the seat and pull the disengaging lever towards the seat edge or footrest assembly to release the seat
attachment. Tilt the seat back by over 45° and remove it by lifting upwards.
To remount the seat onto the mobility base, hold the seat as described above and first put the locking unit at an
angle of approx. 45° on the rear tube of the seat adapter. Press the front edge of the seat down onto the mobility
base until the seat audibly snaps in place. Make sure it is secure by giving the seat a few short tugs.
Removing and Mounting Shells using the Trapezoid Adaption (Fig. 6)
For transporting the mobility base with seating shell or to divide its weight into two more manageable loads, the
seat can easily be removed from the mobility base. This also allows for easy transfer of the seat between indoor
and outdoor mobility bases.
Position yourself on the side of the seating unit. Hold the seat with one hand placed on the back. Pull down the
release button (Fig. 3) under the seat.
The locking bolt will unlock and release the adapter. At the same time, push the seating shell forward.
You can then remove the seating shell unit.
To remount the seat on the mobility base, place the posterior part of the seating shell interface on the adapter
attachment and slide the seating shell backwards until the locking bolt audibly clicks back into locking position.
Make sure the seating shell is secure by giving it a few short tugs.

9 Checking Static Stability before using the Mobility Base with Seating Shell

After mounting a seating system, the stability of the entire product must be checked.
If static stability is less than 10°, the EN 12183 standard stipulates that the user and/or attendant are informed
on this in a clear warning note to allow the user/ attendant to take corresponding precautions for the user's
safety.

Seat Tilt

Figure 7 Figure 8
Inclined and Upright Position – You can tilt the seat of your mobility base with seating shell by approx. 35° to the
rear (Fig. 8) by pressing the release lever (Fig. 7). This will cancel the blocking provided by the gas compression
spring. When the desired angle is reached, stop pressing the lever.
- Please note, that the seat may only be tilted with the anti-tipper in functional position.
- When using 22" and 24" wheels, the inclination range is restricted (see 'Technical Data').
