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, the condition of
the collector, remove debris from the motor housing and the collector, etc.)
• 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
processes. Only an electrician is able to release the electric wheelchair for use after successful
checking measurements or servicing. The service must be confirmed in the service plan when at least
the above-mentioned aspects have been checked.
L The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by deficient or improper inspections.
DISINFECTION
Only a hygiene technician or someone appointed by him can disinfect your wheelchair and this should
be done every time before its use is resumed or before it is provided to a different person. All parts of
the wheelchair can be treated with a disinfectant cloth. In principle all surfaces of a system or a
product have to be disinfected before passing it on to another user, or when it is known that the user
carries an infective vector. In these cases the measures of the federal law on epidemics have to be
considered.
Disinfectants may only be applied by authorised persons trained in the functioning and
application of disinfectants.
L Wear suitable protective clothing because the disinfectants can irritate the skin on contact. For
this purpose you should also take note of the product information for the solutions concerned.
L You employ unauthorised persons at your own risk.
L No liability is accepted by the manufacturer of the wheelchair for damage and injury caused by
the improper handling of disinfectants.
