Safety information

General information
General safety information
The Twister is a pre-assembled component that comes ready to install. It was
designed and built in line with carefully chosen harmonised standards that must
be observed, as well as further technical specications. Consequently, it is
a state-of-the-art product and provides the best possible level of safety while
in operation. The Twister left the factory in a awless condition in terms of
technical safety.
However, safety can only be achieved in practice if all the required actions have
been taken. The persons responsible for installation and operation have a duty
to plan these actions and monitor their implementation.
Observe the following in particular during operation:
• Please read these installation and operating instructions carefully before using
the swivel seat.
• Only accessories obtained from the manufacturer may be used with the Twister.
• Structural modications to the Twister may only be performed following
consultation with the manufacturer.
• Comply with the operating instructions when using and operating the Twister.
• Observe the applicable accident prevention and safety provisions when
operating the Twister.
• The Twister may only be operated if it is in a awless, functional condition.
Arrange for functional faults to be remedied immediately.
• The complete operating and installation instructions must always be carried
in the vehicle.

Product description
The Twister helps seniors and individuals with disabilities to get into and out of
a vehicle.
People with severely restricted mobility can use it to turn themselves into and
out of the vehicle with ease.
If the Twister is turned so it is facing fully outwards, it can also be pulled right out
of the vehicle until the seat is completely outside.

Twister must be locked in this position while driving.
2. 90° position: Twister turned outwards by 90°. The Twister can be pushed out
from this position, to make it easier to get into a wheelchair, for example.
The Twister has 2 positions:

Positioning the template
Figure 5.2: Positioning the template
Figure 5.3: Checking the clearances
Figure 5.4: Checking the clearance to the
B-pillar
Use the template to establish the
correct position.
Dimension X should be in the
bottom third of the B-pillar.
Make sure that this does not make
dimension Y too small and leaves
su󰀩cient clearance to the B-pillar.
Use the spirit level to ensure the
installation frame is straight, both
lengthwise and crosswise.
When aligning the frame, leave
a large enough clearance to the
centre console and the B-pillar.
The installation frame must
protrude at least 10 mm above the
door sill trim.
