• Check the adjustment of the drum brake from time to time (see section “Adjustable brake force for drum brake”,
page 24).
• Please note that the brakes must be readjusted in case of varying braking effect (see section “Adjustable brake
force for drum brake”, page 24).
Transport
Depending on the type of mobility base, several possibilities exist to render handling of the mobility base with seating
shell more easy, for example for car transport (when client is not seated in the chair).
The optional equipment includes removable quick-release axles on the rear wheels that facilitate transport.
• Place four fingers through the spokes and grasp near the rear wheel hub. Use your thumb to press the button of
the quick-release axle (Fig. 9). You can easily pull off then the rear wheel. Use corresponding procedure when
remounting.
• Be certain when remounting that the quick-release axle securely locks into the quick-release axle
housing!
Make sure you can’t remove the wheel without depressing the button!
• Press the locking lever (Fig. 11, item 2) downward to fold the back to the front until it rests on the seat tubes.
• When unfolding, make sure that the stud (Fig. 10, item 1) engages in the recess (Fig. 11, item 2) provided for this.
For better handling, the adjustment mechanism features a grip cover.
• Be certain when unfolding that the backrest snaps in correctly.
Accessories
The mobility base for seating shells is designed as a modular assembly system, which means that certain accessories
may be adapted to your it. The following options and accessories may make it easier to use your mobility base with
seating shell.
Angle adjustable back frame with loop spring mechanism (Fig. 8 and Fig. 12)
The angle between the back frame and seat frame can be adjusted continuously and variably using the lever (Fig. 12,
item 1). The inclination range is 80° to 120°.
• Attention: Increasing the angle between seat frame and back frame to more than 90° may only be done if the anti-
tipper is in operational position.
• Release the push handles or pushbar by loosening the clamping levers (Fig. 8, item 3) and move them into the
correct position. The adjustment range is 150 mm.
Back guide for seating shells (Fig. 13)
Insert the narrow side of the attachment plate into the long hole (item 1), rotate by 180° and tighten the plate with the
thumb screw (item 2). The back shell is now attached to the guide plate (item 3). When adjusting the back angle, the
back guide will move upward or downward correspondingly.
Wheel lock (Fig. 14)
If rear wheels with push rings are used, the Dino® 3 can be additionally equipped with wheel locks.
For adjusting the wheel locks please read section “Adjusting the wheel lock” on page 24.
Wheel lock with reverse-roll locking device (Fig. 15)
For adjusting the wheel locks with reverse-roll locking device please read section “Adjusting the wheel lock” on
page 24.
The wheel lock with reverse-roll locking device allows pushing of the mobility base with seating shell while preventing it
from rolling backwards (e.g. when pushing uphill). If this function is desired, the lever (Fig. 15, item 1) must be pressed
downward. To cancel the brake effect when rolling backwards pull the lever back to its initial position.
Plug-on wheel lock lever extension (Fig. 15, item 2)
For easy handling of the wheel locks, the wheel lock lever extensions are just plugged on.
Tip-assist (Fig. 16)
For clearing obstacles like curbs etc. it may be necessary to tip the mobility base at the front. The tip-assist is used
to make tipping easier.
Step onto the tip-assist with your foot and pull the push handles / pushbar to the rear.
Anti-tipper, swing-away (Fig. 17)
Prevents the mobility base with seating shell from tipping too far backward. With slight downward pressure on the
anti-tipper (item 1) it can be disengaged and swung to the inside (item 2) (for mounting instructions, refer to page 24).
It is absolutely necessary that the anti-tipper be in functional position when tilting the seating unit to the rear or when
adjusting the angle between seat and back to more than 90°!
