effectiveness and safety are an exception to this.
2.2 Indications
Minor to pronounced or complete restrictions of mobility

Kiddo Up 6
2.3 Contraindications
2.3.1 Absolute contraindications
None known
2.3.2 Relative contraindications
Failure to meet physical or mental requirements
3Safety provisions
3.1 Explanation of warning symbols
Caution: Warning regarding possible risks of accident or injury.
Warning: Warning regarding possible serious risks of accident or injury.
3.2 Safety notices
Please read these instructions for use carefully before putting the product into use. All users
and/or their attendants must be instructed in the use of the product by qualified personnel. In
particular, users and/or attendants must be informed of the residual risks with the aid of the
safety notices in these instructions for use.
Failure to follow the safety provisions, instructions, warnings and advice may adversely affect
the functionality of the product and result in physical injury to the user or damage to the product
or the environment.
Warning
The Kiddo Up has been tested and approved for the safe transportation of children in
motor vehicles according to ISO 7176-19.
If possible, we recommend using a properly approved seat in the vehicle during
transport and storing the product securely in the vehicle’s cargo compartment.
Secure the seat with passenger in a transport vehicle with an approved 4-point restraint
system. The optional seat belt is not a safety belt.
Also use an approved 3-point safety belt for safe transportation of the user (in the
forward-facing position).
If you need to sit in the wheelchair for extended periods of time, you should regularly
change your sitting position, move around or try to stand up briefly. Check that there
are no seams, folds or other irregular pressure points on the back support and seat.
This helps prevent pressure sores (decubitus).
Check your skin for intactness before and during use of the product. If skin damage or
other problems occur during use, stop using the product. Consult the qualified per-
sonnel.
Never reach too far out of the product as you may fall over.
Drive slowly when crossing obstacles (e.g. steps, curbs) and negotiating upward or
downward slopes and inclines.
Never cross obstacles at an angle. Always approach obstacles head on (at an angle of
90°). Lift the caster wheels before crossing obstacles.
Avoid collisions with obstacles and dropping off curbs/ledges.
Avoid driving on unpaved ground.

Kiddo Up 7
Cross railway systems and railway tracks only in the designated areas. Negotiate level
crossings so the caster wheels of the product cannot get caught in the gap between
the rail and the road surface.
Speeds above 5 km/h can be dangerous if you do not have enough practice.
Never drive at too high a speed around a bend or make quick, sharp swerves. You could
fall over.
Do not cross over obstacles unless you are sure you can perform the manoeuvre safely.
Attaching loads (e.g. backpacks) can adversely affect stability. Therefore, suspending
additional loads on the product is not permitted.
Use anti-tipper supports unless you are an experienced wheelchair user.
Never lift the product by its moving or removable components. Only lift the product by
firmly mounted components.
If your wheelchair is equipped with height-adjustable push handles, ensure that the
clamping levers are always firmly tightened.
The seat and back support upholstery as well as seat cushions, padding and covers
comply with the normative requirements for flame resistance. However, they may still
ignite if fire is handled improperly or negligently. Keep away from all ignition sources.
The upholstery and the frame can become very hot during prolonged exposure to sun-
light. Do not expose the product to any extreme temperatures (e.g. direct sunlight,
sauna, extreme cold). Do not leave the product in the immediate vicinity of heaters.
When negotiating an incline, the centre of gravity shifts to the rear and the product
tilts more easily.
When ascending slopes or ramps and when crossing obstacles on upward slopes, al-
ways lean your upper body far forward. If users cannot lean their body forward, attend-
ants must secure the rear.
When driving down a slope, the centre of gravity shifts forward and the user can fall
forward out of the product more easily.
Do not reach into the spokes of the rotating drive wheel.
Take care not to pinch parts of your body at the wheel lock lever or between the side
or frame parts.
Do not reach between the drive wheel and wheel lock or drive wheel and side panel
when driving the product.
Never change the design of the product.
The product is marked with labels, safety symbols and instructions. They must not be
covered or removed. They must remain in place and be clearly legible throughout the
lifetime of the product.
Before using the product, verify that all components of the product are properly as-
sembled and tightened.
Check the product for safety and functionality after changing the settings. In case of
problems with the settings, please contact the qualified personnel who adjusted your
product.
Keep packaging materials out of the reach of children.
Note that the product includes small parts that can be loosened and removed without
tools. Ensure that small children, for example, do not swallow them.
Using the product beyond the specified expected lifetime leads to increased residual
risk. Observe the specified lifetime.

Kiddo Up 8
Ensure that examinations and treatments are carried out exclusively under the pre-
scribed conditions in order to avoid impairment of the results of the examination or
the effectiveness of treatment due to interactions between the product and the equip-
ment being used.
When using public transit, always observe the currently applicable legal requirements
and the safety notices of the public transit operator. Use the permanently installed
seats in the vehicle. If you need to use the product as a seat, please use the designated
wheelchair spaces and safety securing equipment provided. Always ensure that you are
held in place securely.
Incorrect application of the belt or positioning aid can lead to strangulation and suffo-
cation. Follow the instructions for proper application so that the user cannot slip into
a position that would endanger them. Note that the user’s back must be up against
the back support pad when securing the belt/positioning aid and during use of the
product.
Caution
When manoeuvring in confined spaces, make sure you do not get stuck. If you get
stuck, try to drive the same way in the opposite direction. Make sure there is help
around.
The product has protruding components that could cause injuries or damage in the
event of collision. Avoid collisions for this reason.
With a seat width of more than 420 mm and a wheel camber of 7°, there may be prob-
lems with the passage width.
Always have attendants help you negotiate steps and other obstacles. Use equipment
(e.g. ramps or lifts). If such equipment is not available, have 2 helpers carry you over
the obstacle.
Do not exceed the max. load (see nameplate and section 6 Technical data).
Please note that certain accessories and add-on components will reduce the remaining
load capacity.
The product may be used by only one person at a time.
As a wheelchair user, you are particularly at risk in road traffic. Make sure you are
always seen by other road users. Observe the applicable traffic rules. Wear bright cloth-
ing or clothing with reflectors.
Install active lighting on your product. Ensure that the reflectors on the product are
clearly visible.
If the product is stored for an extended period of time, this must be done in a dry
room. The checklist in section 13 must be followed when using the product again.
Make sure that the push bar, back support height, forearm supports, lower leg length
and, if applicable, the head support are set to the correct height.
Maintain a minimum distance of 5 cm between the foot plate and the ground.
Wear wheelchair gloves when driving at high speeds in order to protect yourself against
burns while braking with handrims.
If any faults, defects or other hazards that could lead to personal injury are detected,
the product must be taken out of service immediately. This includes uncontrolled
movements as well as unexpected or previously not noted sounds or odours that devi-
ate significantly from the state of the product at the time of delivery.

Additional information
Veldink4kids is not liable for damage or injuries caused by negligence or failure to
observe safety notices. Depending on the special circumstances or the accessories
used, additional safety notices may be required.
Ensure that the product is always in good condition.
Practise on level, open ground first.
With the support of a helper, learn how the product reacts to changes in centre of
gravity, e.g. on downward or upward slopes, inclines or when overcoming obstacles.
The maximum tyre pressure for the drive wheels is 6 bar (87 PSI). If this is exceeded,
the tyre can run off the rim. The information regarding the tyre pressure on the tyre
may differ from the maximum tyre pressure recommended by Veldink4kids. A tyre
pressure of 6 bar results in reduced wear and tear and improved driving comfort.
You can repair a flat tyre yourself or have it repaired in your local bicycle shop or by
your distributor. After repair, the tyre can be inflated by connecting the bicycle pump
to the valve nipple and pumping it.
Check the dimensions and adjust them to the optimum values as described in these
instructions for use.
In case of problems with the settings, please contact the qualified personnel who ad-
justed your product.
Only use original parts and accessories from Veldink4kids. These are tested and safe.

8Handing over the product
The following steps must be performed for the safe handover of the product:
A sitting test has to be conducted with the user of the product. Pay special attention to
proper positioning according to medical considerations.
The user and any attendants must be instructed in the safe use of the product by qual-
ified personnel. In particular, the enclosed instructions for use are to be used.
The instructions for use must be given to the user/attendant when handing over the
product.
Depending on equipment: The instructions for use supplied with accessories are to be
handed over as well.
9Settings
Based on the instructions, the user can adapt the product to changes in conditions without con-
sulting the manufacturer.
Since everyone is built differently and there are large differences in the degree and extent of
disability, the product was designed to be adapted to the person in question.
The many adjustment possibilities offered by a wheelchair of this kind provide numerous ad-
vantages when it comes to optimising the sitting posture and position.
Observe the following instructions for all settings:
Warning: Incorrect adjustment may reduce sitting comfort and impair the intended use
of the product! In case of problems with the settings, please contact the qualified personnel
who adjusted your product.
The product was preadjusted at delivery. However, you may need to adjust it again if you grow
in height or if required for medical reasons. Practical experience also indicates that users often
wish to adjust the settings slightly.
The following step-by-step guide is used to achieve the correct adjustment of the product in the
most logical and effective way. The steps must be completed correctly in order to adapt the
product correctly to the user. Each adjustment is dealt with separately. In practice, each setting
has a greater or lesser impact on sitting posture and/or sitting balance. Therefore, check after
each adjustment whether these factors have been affected and need to be corrected.
The description of the different settings refers to the “hand-tightening” of screws and nuts. This
refers to a tightening torque of 10 Nm.

9.1 Seat depth, back support height and back support angle
9.1.1 Adjusting the seat depth
The seat depth corresponds to the thigh length and is measured from the front edge of the seat
to the back support.
Figure 3: Seat depth
In connection with sitting stability, skewed sitting or swivelling of the legs, it is important that
there is sufficient support over the entire seat depth. The seat depth can be adjusted by 45 mm
from the initial size.
Option 1
1. Loosen the four hexagon socket screws (see Figure 4, item 1) slightly until the seat can be
pushed forward or back.
2. After making the adjustment, hand-tighten the four hexagon socket screws.
Figure 4: Adjusting the seat depth (illustration shows comparable model)
Option 2
The seat depth can also be adjusted by sliding the entire seat forward or back using the hole
pattern in the clothing guard.
1. Remove the nuts and screws from the seat brackets (see Figure 4, item 1).
2. Move the seat brackets according to the hole pattern in the clothing guard (see Figure 6).
3. Reattach the seat brackets with the existing nuts and screws.

Kiddo Up 18
Figure 5: Repositioning the seat brackets
Figure 6: Hole pattern in the clothing guard for adjusting the seat depth
There should be a distance of 2–3 fingers between the front edge of the seat and the hollow of
the knee. This space is necessary to ensure good blood circulation in the legs and to prevent the
pinching of nerves and blood vessels.
Warning: Adjusting the seat depth may affect the position of the feet in relation to the
foot support. This may need to be corrected before adjusting the seat angle (see sec-
tion 9.2.2 Adjusting the seat angle).
9.1.2 Adjusting the back support height
1. Loosen the two nuts (see Figure 7) completely and remove the two hexagon head screws
from the holes on both sides of the wheelchair.
2. Slide the back support up or down along the hole pattern (see Figure 8) until the desired
position is reached.
3. Insert the hexagon head screws into the holes of the new sitting position and then hand-
tighten the hexagon head screws on both sides of the wheelchair.

Kiddo Up 19
Figure 7: Adjusting the back support height
Figure 8: Hole pattern in the clothing guard for adjusting the height
9.1.3 Adjusting the back support angle
1. Loosen the upper nut (see Figure 7) and remove the hexagon head screw on both sides.
2. Loosen the lower nut (see Figure 7) by one turn on both sides and tilt the back support ac-
cording to the hole pattern until the desired angle is reached.
3. Hand-tighten the lower nut on both sides.
4. Insert the upper hexagon head screws into the holes of the new back support position and
then hand-tighten the hexagon head screws on both sides of the wheelchair.
9.2 Seat height, seat angle
9.2.1 Adjusting the seat height
The seat height is the distance between the top edge of the seat and the ground. Together with
the wheel size, this distance determines how well the child can reach the handrims of the drive
wheels and is therefore very important. The seat height can be adjusted in increments of 20 mm.
As a rule of thumb, the distance from the shoulder to the top of the tyre should be at least 2/3
and at most 3/4 of the arm length. To make adjustments, the child must get out of the wheel-
chair and both drive wheels and the seating unit must be removed.
The seat height can be adjusted by sliding the entire seat up or down using the hole pattern in
the clothing guard.
1. Loosen the nuts and remove the screws from the seat brackets (see Figure 10, item 1).

Kiddo Up 20
2. Slide the seat brackets along the hole pattern of the clothing guards to the new position
(see Figure 9). The possible positions for attaching the seat brackets are shown in Fig-
ure 10.
3. Use the screws and nuts to attach the seat bracket in the new position.
Figure 9: Screw connection of the seat bracket
Figure 10: Hole pattern in clothing guard
9.2.2 Adjusting the seat angle
The seat angle is the angle that the seat forms with a horizontal line. This angle can be set
between -10° and +10° on the Kiddo Up. In general, a seat angle of +5° is considered comfortable.
If the child drives primarily by themselves, a higher seat angle combined with a low seat height
is often selected. This contributes to stable driving characteristics and late tipping moment of
the seat.
If a child is working behind a worktop for extended periods of time, for example, a smaller or
even negative seat angle may be desirable because it activates a better sitting posture.
If a negative seat angle is desired, both seat brackets have to be replaced.
9.2.2.1 Adjusting the positive seat angle
1. Slightly loosen the four Allen head nuts (see Figure 11, item 1).
2. Move the seat up or down at the front.
3. After adjusting the seat angle, hand-tighten the four Allen head nuts.
