which the Product is intended - all of these points as described in this manual - and for the quality of the material of
which the Product is made and the manner in which the Product is manufactured.
2. Repairs or replacement of parts of the Product that may be necessary as a result of faults that are based on
qualitatively faulty material or manufacturing errors will be executed free of charge, as long as such faults occurred
within one (1) year after the date of delivery of the Product to the Customer. The parts to be replaced must be

Therefore, the following cases are not eligible for free repair or replacement as meant above:
- The repair or replacement that is necessary in connection with faults that arise after one (1) year after the
date of delivery of the Product to the Customer;
- The repair or replacement that is required in connection with faults due to improper or careless use of the

intended, in which regard it applies that if the Customer is a Dealer, this Dealer will indemnify Pegasus Zorg
against possible claims from Users or other third parties for faults based on an incorrect or careless use of
the Product;
- Parts that are subject to wear and the need for repair or replacement of the parts are the actual
consequence of normal wear. These can include, but are not limited to, tyres, shrouds, arm-pads, seating etc.
3. Irrespective of that stipulated under 2, it applies as far as an electric Product is concerned that with regard to the
battery that forms part of the Product warranty is only given in case of faults or non-functioning of the battery that
are demonstrably the direct consequence of material or manufacturing errors. A fault or nonfunctioning of the
battery as a result of normal wear is not covered by the warranty as meant in these warranty stipulations. Similarly
not covered by the warranty are faults or non-functioning that are the consequence of improper or unprofessional
use of the Product or the battery that is part of the Product, including the incorrect charging of the battery and the
failure to carry out timely and good maintenance, in which context it also applies that if the Customer is a Dealer,
this Dealer will indemnify Pegasus Zorg against possible claims from Users or other third parties that are based on

the Product are replaced without the permission of Pegasus Zorg.
5. The warranties as mentioned in stipulations 1 through 3 also become null and void if what is involved is reused by a
new user within the warranty period and that such re-use necessitates adaptations to the wheelchair and those
adaptations are carried out without the instructions and/or at the order of Pegasus Zorg.
6. To retain rights under the warranties delineated above, the Customer must, in case of damage or other calamities,
as rapidly as possible contact Pegasus Zorg and inform them as fully as possible. The possibility of taking recourse
to the above-mentioned warranty conditions becomes null and void for the Customer in any case after 20 workdays
after the claim situation or the calamity arises that was the reason for the recourse to the warranty.
7. The replacement of a part or the repair or the reconditioning of the Product within a current warranty period does
not extend the warranty period.
8. Pegasus Zorg gives no warranty on repair to or reconditioning of the Product carried out other than under order of
and/or at the instructions of Pegasus Zorg. If repairs and/or reconditioning are executed by or on behalf of a

Maintenance
Version 2014v1 7
2 Maintenance 2.1 Maintenance table
Everything that is used should be maintained. This is also true for your
wheelchair.
It is recommended to have your wheelchair serviced by your
dealer at least once a year, or, in case of intensive use, once
every six months.
2.2 Replacing the 12" rear wheel
When replacing a rear wheel, the wheel may not be braked.
Replace the rear wheel as follows:
•Support the wheelchair in such a way that the wheel is
elevated.
•Remove locking nut (A) with a 12 mm box spanner.
•Pull wheel (B) off the axle (C).
•Remove the tyres; see 'Repairing the tyre of the drive
wheel' or 'Replacing the tyre of the drive wheel'.
Fit the new wheel in the reverse order.
2.3 Repairing the tyre of the rear wheel
When repairing the inner tube of a rear wheel, the wheel should be
braked, so that it does not rotate at the same time.
Repair a flat tyre as follows:
•Support the wheelchair in such a way that the wheel is elevated.
•Pull out the valve to completely deflate the tyre.
•Using tyre levers pull the front of the tyre across the edge of the
rim.
•Carefully pull the inner tube across the edge of the rim.
•Push the valve from the opening in the rim.
•Pull the inner tube from the tyre for repair or replacement.
•Repair the inner tube or replace it.
Now, the repaired or new inner tube should be placed as follows:
•Put the valve of the inner tube through the opening in the rim.
•Press the inner tube into the tyre.
•Place the tyre around the rim.
•Use tyre levers to place the tyre around the rim: be careful not to
damage the inner tube with the tyre levers.
The inner tube must not become jammed between the rim and the tyre.
Below, we have indicated what needs to be checked, how often this should be done, and by whom.

Maintenance
Version 2014v1 8
2.4 Adjusting the brake of the Varia with 12" rear wheels
The wheelchair is equipped with drum brakes on the rear wheels,
which can be operated with the foot by the person pushing the
wheelchair.
Proper functioning of the brakes is essential. That's why the brakes
have to be:
•Properly adjusted
•Replaced in time.
Adjust the brakes as follows:
•Loosen nut (A).
•Remove nut (B) with a 10 mm open-ended spanner.
- Clockwise: brake tighter.
- Anti-clockwise: brake looser.
2.5 Replacing the swivel castor
For the proper functioning of the wheelchair, it is very important that the
wheels are kept in order.
The following parts can be replaced:
Wheel (A), see 'Replacing a wheel'.
Fork (B), see 'Replacing a fork'.
2.6 Replacing a wheel
Replace a wheel as follows:
•Loosen the Allen bolt (A) with an Allen key with a key width of 5
mm.
•Slide wheel (B) out of the fork (C).
Fit a new wheel in the reverse order.

Maintenance
Version 2014v1 9
2.7 Replacing a fork
Replace the fork as follows:
•Remove the wheel from the fork; see 'Replacing a wheel'.
•Remove screw (A) with a Phillips screwdriver.
•Remove cap (B).
•Loosen bolt (C) using a 19 mm box spanner and prevent nut (D)
from moving with a 19 mm ring spanner.
•Take fork (E) out of the frame.
Take care not to lose the washers (F).
Mount the fork in the reverse order.
Use a locknut M12 Precote 80. The small height of the locknut
allows to insert the hex bolt top to bottom and fasten the locknut
from the bottom side. Use a torque of 70 to 80 Nm to fix the nut.
Attention:
The locknut may not be used again - use a new one when replacing.
2.8 Seat adjustment precautions
Optimizing the different functions in the wheelchair can lead to some limitations in the tilt range. In this case the
tilt in combination with the lowest seat height can limit the possible degree of tilt. This depends on the Centre of
Gravity position of the seating system and the seat depth.
The bigger the seat depth and/or the center of gravity position going to the rear, the bigger the limit of the tilt
angle. If an interference should appear then this can be solved by:
Decreasing the seat depth
Positioning the center of gravity forward
Increase the seat height
2.9 Cleaning Removing dry dirt
Upholstery, metal parts and frame parts can usually be cleaned easily with a dry soft cloth.
Removing mud and/or other wet dirt
Parts that are soiled with wet dirt can best be cleaned by first wiping the dirty parts with a wet sponge and then
wiping them dry with a dry soft cloth.
Upholstery
Cleaning with a damp cloth and household soap. After removing the dirt the cleaned parts should be wiped dry
with a soft dry cloth.
Never use abrasive or aggressive cleansers. They may damage the wheelchair.
Also do not use organic solvents such as thinner, dry-cleaning naphtha, or white spirit. Upholstery: do not dry
clean, iron or spin dry.
