1 Preface
Thank you very much for your decision to use an Otto Bock Mobility Solutions GmbH product. In order to ensure that
you will be completely satised when using this product, please read the following instructions.
The design, as described in these Instructions for Use, is subject to technical alterations without notice. If there are
any questions, do not hesitate to ask your rehabilitation technology supplier.
The “Accessories” section (page 21) presents additional parts for the Dino 3, which may extend the range of
application and increase comfort.
The “Adjustability / Assembly Instructions” section (page 23) describes the possibilities of adjusting the mobility base
to your individual requirements.
2 Indications for use
The Dino 3 mobility base for seating shells is designed solely for use with seating systems for people who are unable
to walk or who have a walking impediment. It can be moved either by the patient or by another person.
The Ottobock Warranty applies only when the product is used according to the specied conditions and for the
intended purposes, following all manufacturer’s recommendations.
3 Safety instructions
To avoid potentially dangerous situations such as tipping, you should become familiar with your new mobility base
with seating shell on level ground rst.
Do not use the footrests as a stepstool when getting into or out of your mobility base with seating shell.
Get to know how the mobility base reacts when the center of gravity shifts; for example on slopes or inclines or
when clearing obstacles, like steps and curbs. This should be done only with assistance from another person.
Using the anti-tipper is strongly recommended for untrained wheelchair users.
Park the mobility base with seating shell only on level surfaces. If you have to park it on an incline, make sure
that you bring the seat to an upright position because there is a risk that it can tip over backwards when in a
reclined position.
Please note, that the seat may only be tilted with the anti-tipper in operational position.
When reaching for objects in front, side or behind the wheelchair, be sure the patient does not lean out of the
seating shell too far since the shift in the center of gravity might cause the chair to tilt or tip over.
Use your mobility base with seating shell properly. For instance, do not jump it down from higher surfaces and
do not drive against obstacles (including steps, curbs) without braking.
The anti-tipper is a component that has been designed to prevent the wheelchair from tipping over backwards.
The anti-tipper should never be used to support the back of the wheelchair with the rear wheels removed.

Safety instructions
Dino 3 Ottobock | 23
Stairs should be ascended/descended only with assistance from attendants. If devices such as ramps or
elevators are available, they should be used. If such devices are missing, two helpers must carry the wheelchair
over the obstacle. If only one helper is available, this person should adjust the anti-tipper (if mounted) in such
a way that the anti-tipper does not contact the steps during transport. This will help avoid a potential fall.
Afterwards, the anti-tipper should be correctly readjusted. When using lifting platforms with mounted anti-tipper,
be certain that the anti-tipper is inside the standing area of the lifting platform.

Afterwards, the anti-tipper should be correctly readjusted. When using lifting platforms with mounted anti-tipper,
be certain that the anti-tipper is inside the standing area of the lifting platform.
Be certain that your mobility base with seating shell is lifted by the attendants only at rmly attached components
(for example not at the footrest).
Make sure that the clamping levers of the height adjustable push handles (Fig. 8, item 3) are rmly tightened.
Engage your locks when standing on uneven ground or when transferring (e.g. to a car).
Models with push rings can be additionally equipped with wheel locks.
The effectiveness of the wheel locks and the general driving ease are dependent on adequate air pressure.
Correctly inated rear wheels and equal air pressure on both wheels of one axle considerably improve
maneuverability of your mobility base with seating shell.
Therefore, before starting a journey in your wheelchair, check the pneumatic tires for proper ination levels. The
correct air pressure is printed on the side wall of the tire (or see air pressure table on page 26). Efciency of
the wheel locks can only be ensured if sufcient air pressure and correct adjustment (10 mm distance at the
maximum, subject to technical alterations) have been provided.
All brakes acting on the tires do not serve as service brake but are only designed as parking brake (wheel lock).
Make sure the tires have sufcient tread depth.
We would like to point out that persons seated in seating shells must at all time be secured with suitable
safety systems (straps/belts).
With some combinations or adjustment versions it might happen that the casters collide with the footrest.
Please note that if this is the case the steering range of your casters is limited and change the settings
if need be.
Please note that when using your wheelchair in public trafc, you are subjected to observe the trafc regulations
according to the vehicle regulations for your area.
Be sure you are visible in the dark. If possible, wear light clothes. We recommend attaching other lights as well.
For transfemoral amputee users, the rear wheels must be placed to the posterior. Use of an anti-tipper is
required.
To avoid hand injuries, do not grip between rear wheel and wheel lock while maneuvering your mobility base
with seating shell.

Safety instructions
Dino 324 | Ottobock
Be careful with your ngers when using the mobility base with seating shell or during adjustment and assembly
works (risk of injuries).
Be sure to re-tighten the screws after all adjustments.
Maximum load including seating shell is 120 kg.
Your hands may become warm due to slowing down from high speed or on longer slopes. This is especially
true if the push rings are aluminum.
When using your mobility base with seating shell outdoors, wear leather gloves. Gloves provide you with a
better grip and protect your ngers from dirt and hot metal.
Using your Ottobock product as a seat in vehicles for transporting persons with reduced mobility
Passengers should use the seats and vehicle restraint systems already installed in the vehicle whenever
possible while travelling. This is the only way to ensure optimum protection of passengers in the event of an
accident.
Your Ottobock product Dino 3 can be used as a seat in a vehicle for transporting persons with reduced mo-
bility with the use of the safety elements offered by Ottobock and appropriate restraint systems. For further
information please refer to our instructions for use „Using Your Wheelchair/Seating Shell Mobility Base or
Buggy as a Seat for Transportation in a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle“, order number 646D158.
While installing add-on drives on the product is generally not permitted, it can be reviewed by our Custom
Fabrication department on request.
Serious injuries due to exceeding the service life
• Using the product beyond the specied expected service life (see the section „Service life“) leads to incre-
ased residual risk and should only take place subject to the due diligence and deliberations of qualied
personnel.
• If the service life is reached, the user or a responsible attendant should contact the qualied personnel
who tted the product or the manufacturer‘s servicing department (see inside rear cover or back page for
address). Here the user can obtain information about known risks and the current options for refurbishing
the product.

Label/ nameplate Explanation
Fixation point to attach the product in vehicles for transporting
persons with reduced mobility
4 Exchanging/ Shifting the interface adapters
By loosening the screw connection (Fig.1, item 1) to the frame (Fig.1, item 2), the interface adapter (Fig.1, item 3)
can be shifted or exchanged. At the moment, interface adapters for the following seating systems are available:
• Type “Trapez” • Shape/Moss
• Type “Parallel” • Type “R82 /Ato Form”
• Type “Dräger”
5 Mounting of seating systems
When using seating systems of other manufacturers, please observe the corresponding manufacturer’s instructions
for use.
Ottobock will assume no liability for combinations of interface adapters which are not mentioned above.
5.1. Removing and mounting seating systems being equipped with the “Parallel” seating shell interface (Fig. 2)
The seat can be easily removed from the mobility base to lessen the weight of the chair during transport.
This also allows for easy transfer between indoor and outdoor mobility bases.
Position yourself on the right side (when in the forward direction) of the seating unit. Hold the head area of the back
part of the seat with one hand.
Now reach beneath the seat and pull the angled disengaging lever towards the footrest assembly to release the seat
attachment. Tilt the seat back to over 45° and remove it by lifting upwards.
To remount the seat onto the mobility base, hold the seat as described above and rst put the locking unit at an angle
of approx. 45° on the posterior tube of the seat adapter. Press the anterior seat edge onto the mobility base until the
seat audibly snaps in place. Make sure it’s secure by giving the seat a few short tugs.
5.2. Removing and mounting seating systems that have a Trapez seating shell interface (Fig. 3)
For transport in a car or to distribute the weight into two, more manageable loads, the seat can be easily removed
from the mobility base. This also allows for easy transfer of the seat between indoor and outdoor mobility bases.
To remove the seat, stand next to the seating unit and hold the seat with one hand at its back part. Then reach beneath
the seat and turn the release switch (Fig. 3, Pos. a) downward.
The locking bolt will then unlock and release the adapter. At the same time, push the seating shell forward (Fig. 3,
Pos. b).
You can then remove the seating shell unit.
To remount the seat onto the mobility base, place the back part of the seating shell interface onto the adapter carrier
and slide the seating shell backwards until the locking bolt audibly clicks back into locking position (Fig. 3, Pos. c).
Make sure the seating shell is secure by giving the seat a few short tugs.
5.3. Checking Static Stability before Using the Mobility Base with Seating Shell
After mounting a seating system, the stability of the entire product must be checked.
Attention!
Since stability is checked with the patient, you must proceed with upmost caution and with the help of
at least two attendants.
First prepare an area with an inclination of 10°. Place the mobility base with mounted seating system and the patient
sitting in the seating system on this incline. The wheels should be in driving position (see illustration).
Test the tilting behavior in the most unfavorable positions:
to the front - extended footrest assembly (if possible), upright backrest (pos. a);
to the rear - angled footrest assembly, tilted 30° to the rear, back angle 120° (pos. b).
