The Timy car seat helps keeping the
retention of a symmetrical and balanced
seat position with posture supporting
components. The seat shell can be
adapted on the various needs. Extensive
accessories take care that the
therapeutical demands are fulfilled.

A

use on the front seat is possible without reservations; merely, if the vehicle is equipped

with airbag, the passenger seat must be t

aken to the rearmost position.

This seat is suitable to use in vehicles
that are equipped with a 3-point seat
belt approved to ECE-regulations or
other comparable standards. The seat
is allowed for use within Europe and
other countries where this product
meets the appropriate regulations for
that country.

Take the seat from the packing and remove
the packaging also of the accessories. Put
the seat to a just and firm pad and adjust this
as follows:

Unpacking

The back and shoulder belt height is
adjusted with the headrest. Please take the
L-shaped hexagon key Sw2 from the device
(1) and solve the screws (2) at the back.
Adjust the head-rest, that between the
shoulder belts and the shoulder is as broad
as “one finger” distance. Fasten the screws
again.

The seat depth can be adapted by solving
the wing screws under the seat on the
needs. The hollows of the knee should have
distance to the seat edge as broad as
approx. “two finger”.

Back height

Seat depth

In case that the part of the belt going
diagonally, doesn't run over the shoulder of
the child but above (left picture), a running of
the shoulder belt must be appointed. The
running of the belt takes care of the correct
position of the belt in the shoulder area (right
picture).
For adjusting the running of the shoulder
belt solve the maggot screw with a L-shaped
hexagon key 3 mm. Through this the
running can be moved into the respective
position.
(page 4)

Running of the shoulder belt

Be a good example for your children and put on your belt before every
journey. Also take care that adults are strapped on. Don't put objects on the
back shelf of your vehicle. These objects can lead to heavy injuries of the
passengers at a braking action. Safeguard moreover all pieces of baggage
and make sure that bars are attached between pillion and load area at
station cars.
Respect: The plastic parts of the seat can cause burnings if they are
exposed to strong solar irradiation for some time. Activate the childproof
lock, provided that your car is equipped with that.

In principle, we warn against a re-use since it isn't to start out of complete
intactness of the product. Even if a previous accident has to be excluded,
the safety facilities of the seat can also by one drop strongly be damaged.
The seat hits at a fall from 80 cm (table edge) of height with a speed of
approx. 14 km/h.

The car safety seat Timy should as a matter
of priority be occurred on the right back seat
of the car. Therefore, the Timy car seat is
moved to the seat with an adapter and
pushed tightly against the back of the
vehicle. The back of the child's seat must be
at the cushion of the vehicle back.

The sticking joint (1) serves for higher curve
stability and should lie in the opening
between seat and back of the vehicle. The
sticking joint can be adapted with the
maggot screws in the angle.

This rigid version offers a stable seat­engaging surface and must not be adjusted.

Adapter

Adapter 300 120

The horizontal adjustment of the adapter is
made by solving the four maggot screws (2),
push the seat to the desired position.
The angle adjustment is done by altering the
front points, also with the enclosed L­shaped hexagon key.

This additional option to the adapter
300130, offers you a rotating of the seat to
the door and therefore greater comfort at
strapping on and putting in the child. To do
this, please press the lever (3). For this
adapter we recommend to put the footrest in
the lower attachment since this is fixed.

The light adapter connects the rotating
function with the angle adjustment at flat
style and low weight.
You accomplish the rotating function by
pulling the red belt webbing and swiveling
the seat. Different click in options are
predefined.

The angle adjustment is carried out with a L­shaped hexagon key and if necessary a
prolongation lever which are both put in the
upper footrest attachment (1). Solve the
adjusting screw (2) with that and take the
seat to the desired position. Make sure after
the adjustment that all screws are tight.

The footrest is put into the (fixed)
attachment, adapted in the depth and
fastened by means of the socket-head cap
screws.
The height can be adapted on the lower leg
length of the child. If the conditions shouldn't
allow it to use this footrest in the car, our
service has a smaller one for you.

Installing the Timy to the Vehicle seat

Shoulder belt guide:

At side of backrest, unwind
the small grub-screw to
position the belt guide
correctly for the child.

Swivel ‘D’ Bar:

Position the ‘D’ bar into the

gap between the seat, and
tighten the 2 grub screws. This
is to help hold the seat from
turning when the swivel
function is used.

Seat Position:

If the top of the backrest rubs hard against the seat back
and restricts the swivel function, this adjustment will allow
the seat to slide forward to enable it to function properly.

Use this adjustment to also ensure that the top of the
backrest is sitting against the vehicle seat back to increase
stability.

Timy Adjustments:

Headrest height:

At rear of backrest, unwind the
small grub-screw to raise or
lower the headrest.

Seat Depth:

Unwind the 3 bolts to change
the seat depth.

These bolts will need to be
inserted into the next row of
holes offered in the seat pan.
A hammer can help to ensure
these bolts are fully inserted.

Swivel Strap:

Pull the red strap to
activate the swivel
function.

Tilt adjustment:

Unwind this bolt on the LHS of
seat to adjust the tilt setting.

Harness Tension:

Underneath the seat, press the tension adjuster to
lengthen the belt length, and then pull to tighten.

Warning! Always ensure correct belt

tension when child is in the Timy car seat.

Cleaning

Please, on regular checking (every 3-6
months) clean the following parts at
the car seat: Wipe metal parts and

synthetic material parts with a damp
cloth. Take off the cushions and wash
these at max. 30 degrees C
