1. INTRODUCTION
Netti III HD is a comfort wheelchair meant
for both indoor and outdoor use. It is tested
to DIN EN 12183:2009. The tests were
carried out by TÜV SÜD Product Service
GmbH in Germany.
In Alu Rehab we believe that wheelchairs
should be chosen based on a thorough
assessment focusing on the needs of the
user and demands from the environment.
Therefore it is important to know about
the possibilities and restrictions of the
wheelchair. Netti III HD is a wheelchair designed
for users with the need for comfort and relief.
The combination between the seating system
and the ergonomical solutions in the frame
construction, oers many possibilities for
adaptation and adjustments.
The wheelchair is constructed for indoor and
outdoor use, and oers the possibility to
vary the sitting position from activity to
rest using tilt and recline functions.
Max user weight: 160 kg.
When mounting accessories such as
power kit etc, the weight of the
accessories must be subtracted from the
max user weight.
Specications varies between countries.

1.3 Quality and durability
The Netti III HD wheelchair is tested
at TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH
in Germany, following the European
Standard DIN EN 12183:2009. As
manufacturer, Alu Rehab A.S evaluates
the test to be equal to 5-6 years of
normal use of the chair. The disability
of the user as well as the level of
maintenancedoneforemostdecides the
durability of the wheelchair. Thus, the
durability will vary depending on these
two factors.
