8 Using your Kimba Spring as a Seat for Transportation in Motor
Vehicles
Danger!
We recommend that, whereever and whenever possible, Kimba Spring users transfer
to the seats installed in the motor vehicle and use the corresponding vehicle restraint
systems, because this is the only way to ensure optimal protection of the passengers
in case of an accident.
It is possible, however, to use your Otto Bock product Kimba Spring for transporta-
tion in a motor vehicle, provided that the Otto Bock safety components as well as
appropriate restraint systems are used. For further information, please refer to our
instructions for use manual “Using your wheelchair/ mobility base with seating shell
or buggy as a seat for transportation in motor vehicles“. Order no. 646D158)
Danger!
The Otto Bock Product Kimba Inline Twin has not been approved for use as a seat
in motor vehicles for the transportation of disabled persons!
Wheelchair users must always transfer to the seats installed in the motor vehicle with

Non-observance of these instructions could lead to injury of the user, as well as of
all other passengers in the motor vehicle, in case of an accident.

Information!
Before using your
Otto Bock product as a seat in motor vehicles, read the instruc-

Information!
For transportation in a motor vehicle, only Kimba Spring seating units with additional
lock of the backrest adjustment mechanism („positive lock“) may be used.
To adjust the angle loosen the screw connection with the clamping lever until the backrest al-
lows angle adjustment. Secure the backrest in the desired inclination position by tightening the
clamping lever. Before using Kimba Spring for transportation in a motor vehicle, you must secure
the backrest in defined upright position.
To do this, first loosen the screw connection. Pull the locking disk (Fig. 54, item A) out of the
back plate just as much as to allow the studs of the locking disk to protrude from the guiding
slot (Fig. 54, item C). Then rotate the locking disk by 90°. Move the backrest until the studs on
the locking disk engage into the two holes
(Fig. 54, item B) on the back plate. Close the screw
connection with the clamping lever and check if the backrest has safely locked in place. To
open the “positive lock“ and use the back angle adjustment when the product is not used for
transportation in a motor vehidle please proceed in reverse order. Make sure that the studs of
the locking disk properly re-engaged in the guiding slot (Fig. 54, item C).
