3. Safety Instructions
1. If you have to sit in the wheelchair for a long time, you should shift your position regularly.
Make sure there are no seams, folds or other irregular pressure spots on the back or the
seat. This is to prevent sores (decubitus).
2. In confined areas ensure you do not get stuck when manoeuvring. If you get stuck, try and go
back the same way you came, in reverse. Make sure assistance can be called.
3. A wheelchair has protruding parts, that may cause injuries or damage in case of a collision.
So avoid collisions.
4. Never reach too far out of your wheelchair, as you may fall over.
5. Never drive over a threshold or any other obstacle at an acute or obtuse angle, as you may
keel over or get stuck.
6. A speed exceeding 5 km per hour (3 mph) can be dangerous if you have not exercised it
sufficiently.
7. Never negotiate a bend at a high speed and do not make sudden, sharp turns as you may fall.
8. Do not negotiate obstacles if you are not a hundred percent sure you can complete the
manoeuvre safely.
9. Never hang heavy objects on your wheelchair; you upset the balance and you may even fall
over.
10. Use anti-tilt supports against falling over backward if you are not an experienced wheelchair
driver.
11. The maximum tyre pressure of the rear wheels amounts to 6 bar (87 PSI). If the pressure is
too high, the tyre may run beside the rim.
12. Never lift the wheelchair by movable or detachable parts.
13. Make sure the maintenance condition of the wheelchair is always perfect.
14. The maximum load of the Kiddo Tilt wheelchair is 75 kilos .
15. The wheelchair shall not be carry more than one person at the time.

16. If the width of the seat exceeds 420 mm at a camber angle of 7°, this may give problems
with the width of passageways.
17. The upholstery and the frame may get very hot if they are exposed to sunrays for a long
time.
18. You are strongly advised against sitting in the wheelchair while it is transported in a vehicle.
We recommend you use a properly approved seat in the vehicle and have the wheelchair
safely stored in the boot of the vehicle.
19. By travelling up a slope, the centre of gravity will move backwards, making it easier for the
wheelchair to tip over backwards.
20. By travelling down a slope, the centre of gravity will move forwards, making it easier for the
occupant to fall out of the wheelchair
21. In a wheelchair user you are vulnerable in traffic. Ensure that you are visible to other road
users. Observe the applicable traffic regulations.
The Kiddo Tilt has been successfully tested by TUV Rheinland to be a “crashtest safe” wheelchair, in
accordance with the ISO 7176-19 standard. It can therefore be transported with the occupant in it
(facing forward). Attach the wheelchair with its occupant in it in a taxibus with a four-point securing
system!
22. In addition, always use a 3-point safety belt to safely transport the occupant of the
wheelchair (forward facing position when used in motor vehicle).
The optional wheelchair seat belt is not suitable for use as a safe.
23. When transporting the wheelchair with the occupant in it, we recommends fitting the
wheelchair with a headrest

6.1 Foldable footplate
By the Kiddo Tilt there is the possibility to choose for the foldable footlate. This can be useful when
transporting the wheelchair or when the user is making a transfer. The act is shown below .(figures 3)

6.2 Mounting the wheels and drum brake
To mount a wheel with a quick-release axle (figure 4) you put the brake in neutral.* You lift the
wheelchair again by the arm rest with 1 hand. Take the wheel by the brake handle and press the
quick-release button(1). Move the axle(2) into the axle adapter(3) until the wheel locks completely in
the frame. Release the button, it will jump out and the axle will be locked in the guide..
Always make sure after mounting a wheel with a quick-release axle that the axle is locked in the
guide. You can do this by taking a mounted wheel by the hub through the spokes and try and move
it in a horizontal direction. If this proves to be impossible, the axle is locked.
* neutral = brake released

Drum brake
By moving the brake handle (figure 5) forward or backward (from a sitting position) the brake will be
put into the parking position with a noticeable click. This brake can also be used to brake during
travelling.
To carry out the following action it will be easier if something is placed under the anti-tilting device to
allow the wheel to turn freely or you can do the job with two people.
The brake drum can be adjusted and so optimal braking action is guaranteed. Below the brake
cover(2) a groove(3) is provided, allowing access to a setscrew (only in neutral*). With a 3 mm socket
screw key the setscrew can be adjusted. Allow the wheel to turn freely and at the same time turn the
setscrew inward (clockwise). At a certain moment the brake will start to rub. Then you turn the
setscrew back a quarter turn. Next check to ensure the brake no longer rubs.
* neutral = brake released

6.3 Anti-tilting device
The ant-tilting supports prevent the wheelchair from tilting over backwards. The ant-tilting supports
can be turned away, for instance if an obstacle has to be negotiated. Release the anti-tilting device(1)
(figure 6) by pushing it down with your foot on the pushrod (3) and next turn it inward. The anttilting support will move into the locked position and will spring upwards in the fixation.
Figure 6: Anti-tip system
To put the anti-tilt supports back in their active position, you unlock the anti-tilt support by pushing
it down. Next, you turn it to the outside again. The anti-tilt support returns to the operative position
and locks itself by swinging inwards. A clear ‘click’ can be heard.
Lenght adjustment anti-tilt support
In order to adjust the lenght of the anti-tilt support just loosen the socket screw(2) and place it in the
desired position. Next tighten the socket screw again(2).

6.4 Seat-unit tilting
To get the wheelchair to tilt you have to put down the control pedal(1) from the tilling system with
your foot. (figure 7 and 8)
