L Make sure that the maximum load (130 kg) is not exceeded.
MAKING REGULAR CHECKS
As with any technical product, your wheelchair, too, requires regular checks if it is to be kept fully-
functional. The steps to be taken to fully enjoy the advantages of your wheelchair even after protracted
use, are described below.
! BEFORE DRIVING
1. Check the tyres for visible damage and/or soiling. Remove any dirt as it could impair the
motion and road-holding capacity of the tyres. When a tyre is damaged, please go see an
authorized workshop for repair.
2. Use the drive electronics' display to check that the driving, braking and adjustment
features are fully-functional. If these functions are impaired, contact your dealer.
3. Check the pressure of the tyres and inflate them if necessary (see section "Technical
details").
4. Make sure that all screws are tightened properly (particularly: the folding armrest
mechanism so that they do not accidentally drop down forwards and cause injury.)
! APPROX. EVERY 8 WEEKS
Depending on the frequency of use check the following:
1. That the armrests are working
2. Movable parts of the footrests
3. The condition of the covers and cushioning materials.
4. The tread depth of the wheels
! APPROX. EVERY 6 MONTHS
Depending on the frequency of use check the following:
1. Cleanliness
2. General condition
3. That the charger is working
4. Operation of the steering wheels
If the rotation resistance is too large, clean the bearings of the steering wheels. If this is
insufficient, kindly consult your specialist dealer.
L In cases of lost functionality, repairs and inspections, consult your dealer. Only authorised
persons should do repairs.
INSPECTION
In principle we recommend annual inspections, but at least before usage is resumed. The following
checks must at least be performed and documented by authorized persons:
• Check the cabling (especially for: crushing, abrasion, cuts, visible insulation of the inner
conductor, visible metallic veins, kinks, lumpiness, color changes of the outer sleeve, brittle
spots)
• Visual inspection of the frame parts to check for plastic deformation and/or wear and tear
(basic frame, seat frame, back frame, side parts, leg supports, motor suspensions)
• Electric leads to be securely placed to avoid shearing, crushing and other mechanical stresses
and strains.
• Visually check all housings for damage, screws must be securely fixed, seals and gaskets
should not exhibit visible damage.
• Review the charger's residual diversion current (A) based on VDE 0702
• Review the charger's insulation resistance (MO) based on VDE 0702
• Check the functioning of the armrests and leg supports (locking, load, deformation, wear and
tear caused by loads)
• Check the functioning of the drives (during a test drive " noises, speed, free running, etc.), if
necessary: Measure the performance, first with no load, and then with the nominal load
("SWL") to investigate the wear and tear of the motors by comparing the values of the electric
current with the values at delivery, condition and function of the carbon rod.
• Check the condition of the batteries, covers, tubes, and tyres.
Checking measurements may only be carried out by skilled persons trained on the wheelchair at least
and at least under the supervision of an electrician who knows the checking instruments and
