Swivel Function - Thomashilfen Hercules Prime R129 Gebrauchsanweisung

8.1 Swivel function

The swivel function allows the carer to turn the unbuckled seat to the right or to the
left towards the vehicle door to facilitate getting in and out of the vehicle.
To turn the Hercules Prime, press the red release button (Fig. 28) and turn the seat
towards the open vehicle door. When turning back, make sure that the release
mechanism engages audibly with a "click".
Changing the direction of rotation is not recommended. The direction of rotation (to
the left or right) can be selected when ordering. If the rotation function is retrofitted,
this must be carried out by a trained and qualified person!
Attention: If the vehicle seat does not have a straight support surface for the position-
ing seat, the accessory "cushion for function plate" is strongly recommended. The
seat surface of the Hercules Prime must rest on as large an area as possible, espe-
cially when using the swivel function.
8.2 Cushion for function plate
Place the cushion for function plates under the Hercules Prime seat on the vehicle
seat. (Fig. 29) It is used to compensate for the shape of the vehicle seat. In some
car seat models, there is little direct contact surface for the Hercules Prime, which
can cause damage to the car seat, especially when turning. To minimise this risk, the
cushion compensates for the shape of the seat.
Caution: Using the cushion may increase the overall height of the Hercules Prime.
Before driving, check that there is still enough room to cover the car's roof. A distance
of approx. 20 cm / 7.9" between the top edge of the positioning seat and the car
headliner is recommended.
8.3 Tilting function
The tilting function allows Hercules Prime to be tilted backwards in 2.5°-steps. To set
the desired tilt, loosen the two screws located in the upright rows of holes. Change
the tilt and fix the tilt plate back in place with the screws. (Fig. 30)
The tilting function is available in two versions: 0° to 10° and 10° to 20°.
The 10° to 20° tilt function requires the 0° to 10° tilt function.
• "Mounting kit A" is required if the seat was previously equipped WITHOUT a tilt
function.
• "Mounting kit B" is required if the seat was previously equipped with a swivel func-
tion.
• "Mounting kit C" is ALWAYS required.
You can put aside the unused mounting kit ("A" or "B").
