Application area:
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.
The car seat is legally protected in shape and execution. We reserve
visual and technical changes which serve the regular product
improvement.
The Timy is an aid which was developed especially for disabled children. At the conception
we permanently take the various needs of the needy patients into account. A documented
quality control makes sure that your car safety seat fulfills the high requests.
Exceed the set maximum load of the car seat in no case. Make sure that after every
adjustment the screws are tight. Replace the child car seat after an accident with a new model.
Please, on the regular checking (every 3-6 months) clean the following parts at the car seat:
- Wipe metal parts and synthetic material parts with a duster off
- Take off the cushions and wash these at max. 30° C.
- Please, take care that no foam parts are washed.
Use the seat in no case without fabrics or lining, in the case of an exchange only use fabrics or
linings authorized by us.
Before you reinstall the car seat, you should check whether the cushion fabric has gone under
the running of the belt and all safety facilities are working.

and adjusted if necessary. Please, do this control on your own. You should repeat this general
examination every 3-6 months (also see cleaning). Never let your child in the vehicle without
supervision.
A loose twisted belt influences the protection function of the seat, therefore take care that the
belts always are pulled tightly and clicked in correctly. Don't carry out any technical change
since the general admittance and the guarantee for the seat is dropped at the seat, otherwise.
Also strap on the seat, if your child isn't in the seat!

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 seat-
engaging surface and must not be adjusted.

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
