for the specialist dealer and describes all adapta-
tions and adjustments as well as the required ser-
vice, maintenance, repair and replacement jobs.

website).
All required documents as well as additional infor-
mation to our products are located on our website

Term definitions
Here you will find explanations to the term used in
this manual:
Information to maintenance and ser-
vice work:
☞Every wheelchair should undergo inspection
once a year.
– The inspection increases the safety and ex-
tends the life span of the wheelchair.
☞For highly strained wheelchairs for example in
case of:
– extreme strain,
– user still growing,
– users with changing disease patterns,
it is recommended to have the wheelchair
checked, maintained and if required adjusted
semi-annually.
– Only original spare parts are to be used for all
maintenance and service.
☞All screwed connections, if not otherwise not-
ed, tightened according to table Torque accord-
ing to DIN for screwed connections on page 36.
☞The checklist of the annual inspection (for
checking off) should be used for copying.
– Checklists that have been completed
should be stored and a copy handed out
to the customer!
