to ensure safe use of the wheelchair. It contains troubleshoong informaon with, where applicable, soluons.
The wheelchair is an easy-propulsion acve wheelchair in high-strength aluminium. The wheelchair design
makes it as easy as possible for the user to operate the chair independently. The wheelchair is custom-built
according to the user’s instrucons. This ensures that the wheelchair precisely meets the individual user’s re-
quirements. Because the back can be folded and both the rear wheel and sideguards removed, the wheelchair
is easy to transport, including in ordinary cars. The wheelchair is ideal for users who want to have an acve
daily life, indoors and outdoors. The amount of adjustability may vary depending on the model and ordered
features.
The instrucons in this manual are essenal for safe and correct use of the wheelchair. Before starng to use

read for them. Furthermore, the manual is available on www.wolturnus.dk/en/ where it is possible to enlarge
the text or have the text read up by a suitable computer program. Keep this user manual throughout the lifeme
of the wheelchair: It contains informaon that can answer future quesons and it contains guidelines for adju-
sng and adapng the chair.

2.4 Safety requirements for transport, assembly and storage
• Only suitable liing mechanisms may be used when transporng the wheelchair.
• The wheel locks must be applied when transporng with a liing plaorm in situaons where the chair
must be staonary, e.g. in lis, buses, trains etc.
• The wheelchair must, to the degree possible, be placed in the middle of the plaorm and all components,
e.g. the an-p device, must be clear of any area where there is a risk of them being caught during trans-
port.
• When adjusng and adapng the chair, all aachment features, e.g. screws and nuts, must be fastened ac-
cording to instrucons.
• For transport in vehicles we recommend that, whenever possible, the user is transferred to the vehicle’s
own seats and uses the vehicle’s own safety belts. If this is not possible, and the user therefore must remain
in the chair, there must be an approved, mounted docking system in the vehicle.
2.5 Safety requirements during use
• The user and helpers must always ensure that the chair and its safety features are in proper and safe con-
dion before using the chair.
• The Acve wheelchair must be inspected by a Wolturnus-authorised specialist at least once every year in
order to ensure that the chair is in proper working order and safe to use.
• The chair must immediately cease to be used if any feature is defecve or not operaonal or if any other
circumstance arises which could lead to injury.
• Before starng to use the Acve wheelchair, all mechanical adjustments (posioning the seat, accessories,
etc.) must be carried out in accordance with the user’s individual requirements and abilies. These adjust-
ments may only be carried out by Wolturnus-authorised specialists.
• Depending on the model, the maximum load for the acve wheelchair is 120-250 kg. It must not be ex-
ceeded.
• The wheelchair tyres must be inspected visually before use to ensure that there is sucient tread depth and
correct tyre pressure. The correct pressure is printed on the tyre.
• When used on public roads, the user must obey applicable trac rules.
• The wheelchair should not be used on slippery surfaces (e.g. ice) or on very rough terrain (e.g. on gravel or
small stones).
• When geng in and out of the wheelchair, the user’s full weight should not be placed on the footrest or
armrests. These cannot bear full body weight.
• Only change direcon at reduced speed.
• The wheelchair must only be lied by gripping the frame parts. Do not grip the footrest or armrests to li
the chair.
• The wheelchair must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, to high humidity or to environments with
chlorine (e.g. in saunas or at swimming pools).
• The wheelchair’s surface temperature can raise if it is exposed to high heat, e.g. in strong sunlight for an
extended period of me. There is also a risk of too low a surface temperature in the event of extreme cold.
• The an-p device should be used when travelling on uneven terrain or where there is a hurdle, e.g. on
slopes. New users are advised to always use the an-p device.
• Never place ngers between the rear wheel spokes or between the rear wheel and the wheel locks. Cauon
is advised when travelling through narrow passages.
2.6 User requirements
• Before starng to use the wheelchair, the user and any helpers must read the user manual thoroughly and
be familiar with its contents.
• The Acve wheelchair must only be used by trained users. To ensure this, the user and any helpers will re-
ceive instrucon in use of the chair from Wolturnus-authorised specialists.

6.3 Back angle adjustment (only apply for folding back)
The angle of the folding back can be adjusted to aain the best possible posion for the user.
• Fold the back down so that the bolt which secures the back is accessible (image 20).
• Loosen the nut at the boom of the back tube with a 13 mm single-head wrench.
• Use a 6 mm Allen key to adjust the bolt. To angle the backrest further back, screw the bolt higher up the
back tube. To angle the backrest further forward, screw the bolt lower down the back tube.
• Tighten the nut (Tension 10 Nm/7,4 .lbf/88 in.lbf.).
• Complete this process on both sides. To avoid a lopsided backrest, make sure that the bolts are screwed in
place at equal heights on the back tube.
The eccentric lock must also be adjusted (doesn’t include the light style folding back);
• Use a 5 mm Allen key to loosen the bolt (image 21).
• Adjust the lock unl it slides into posion in the lock pawl.
• Tighten the nut (Tension 10 Nm/7,4 .lbf/88 in.lbf.).
6.4 Adjusng back depth and form
The back’s form can be adjusted to suit the individual user’s requirements for support and balance. The Velcro
straps under the back upholstery are used to adjust it.
• Fold up the back of the backrest upholstery so that the Velcro straps are visible (image 22).
• Loosen or ghten individual straps so that the back’s form suits the user’s requirements (image 23).
• Fold down the back upholstery and secure it to the straps.
Adjustment of the back form and depth greatly aects the benet the user gets from the chair. Wolturnus A/S
recommends that form and depth are inially adjusted with assistance from a Wolturnus A/S consultant or from
the user’s therapist.
6.5 Adjusng back height (only height-adjustable back)
• The back height can be steplessly adjusted to meet requirements.
• Remove the back upholstery and top.
• Press the spring lock in and either raise or lower the height bar for the back.
• To adjust the height even further, the height bar can be removed and reversed (image 25).
• Mount the back upholstery and top again.
6.6 Adjusng seat length, depth and form
When delivered, the seat length has been adjusted according to the measurement provided in the customer
order, but it can be adjusted as required.
• Remove the seat cushion and loosen the Velcro that holds the front and rear secon of the seat cover to-
gether (image 26).
• Push or pull the front secon into the desired posion (image 27).
• Aach the front secon of the seat cover to the rear secon, then mount the cushion.
Seat depth and form can also be altered, instrucons are decribed below:
• Remove the seat cushion and the front secon of the seat cover (image 28).
• Adjust the Velcro straps on the rear secon of the seat cover by ghtening or loosening them to meet the
user’s requirements (image 29).
• Mount the front secon of the seat cover and ghten the Velcro strap at the front.
• Mount the seat cushion.
When the back has been adjusted, the wheelchair’s point of gravity may have shied, which may create a risk
of backward pping. Therefore, aer adjusng the back, check the point of gravity and, if necessary, adjust
it before using the chair (See secon 6.9).
WARNING!
Ensure that the back angle has been adjusted equally on both sides and that, aer adjustment, the back locks
correctly into place both when upright and folded.
WARNING!
When the seat and/or back upholstery straps have been adjusted, the wheelchair’s point of gravity may have
shied, which may create a risk of backward pping. Therefore, aer adjusng the seat and/or back uphol-
stery, check the point of gravity and, if necessary, adjust it before using the chair. (See secon 6.8).

6.7 Adjusng armrest height
• Remove the armrest (image 30).
• Use a 4 mm Allen key to unscrew the side panel from the baluster (image 31).
• Mount the side panel on the baluster at the desired armrest height.
• Mount the armrest on the wheelchair.
Repeat the process as necessary to achieve the correct armrest height.
6.8 Adjusng balance point with adjustable rear axle
The wheelchair’s point of gravity and stability can be changed by moving the rear axle forward or backward. By
moving the rear axle and therefore the rear wheels forwards, the load on the casters is lightened. It is therefore
easier to lt the wheelchair up on the rear wheels. Pracsed users will nd this makes the wheelchair easier to
manoeuvre. Moving the rear axle backwards makes it harder for the chair to lt up on the rear wheels. The di-
stance between the casters and the rear wheel is increased, which increases stability during propulsion.
Adjusng the rear axle:
• Use the Quick-release mechanism to remove the rear wheels (image 32).
• Move the wheel locks forward so that they are not in the way when the rear wheels are remounted. Aer
adjusng the rear axle the wheel locks must be adjusted so that they are posioned correctly before use
• Use a 5 mm Allen key to loosen the three bolts on the bracket that fastens the rear axle to the frame. Loosen
them enough to allow the rear axle with console slide back and forward on the frame (image 33).
• Find the desired posion. Use a slide rule or ruler to check that the distance between the rear axle and the
back edge is equal on both sides (image 34).
• Use a 5 mm Allen key to ghten the bolt with a torque wrench. (Tension 10 Nm/7,4 .lbf/88 in.lbf.)
• Mount the rear wheels and adjust the wheel locks as described in secon 6.12 (image 35). Make sure the
Quick-release mechanism is locked correctly; it audibly clicks when correctly in place.
6.9 Adjusng footrest height
• Use a 3 mm Allen key and an 8 mm wrench to loosen and remove both nuts at the back of the front-frame
(image 36).
• Remove the Allen key so that the footrest can freely slide within the front-frame tube.
• Raise or lower the footrest to the desired height, making sure that the holes in the footrest and the front-
frame match. Make sure that the footrest is not lopsided.
• Mount the clamps and nuts and ghten them (Tension 4 Nm/3,0 .lbf/35 in.lbf). If ghtened too much, the
frame could bend (image 37).
During strap adjustment of the seat and/or back upholstery, the wheelchair’s point of gravity may have
shied, which may create a risk of backward pping. Therefore, aer adjusng the back, check the point of
gravity and, if necessary, adjust it before using the chair. (See secon 6.8).
WARNING!
Noce; ghtening the straps towards the front seat edge, not the back edge, will benet some users. This
creates a counterpoint for the back support’s forward pressure on the lower body and a beer hip posion.
Wolturnus A/S recommends that this is done with assistance from a Wolturnus A/S consultant or the user’s
therapist.
INFORMATION
To prevent the wheelchair unintenonally pping backwards, it is recommended that the user always gets a
helper to stand behind the wheelchair while trying out balance point adjustments.

6.10 Adjusng footrest angle and posion
• Use a 4 mm Allen key and 10 mm single-head wrench to loosen the nuts on the bracket underneath the foot
plate (image 38).
• Turn the foot plate unl it is at the desired angle (image 39).
• Tighten the nuts.
The foot plate itself can be adjusted and moved further back or forward.
• Use a 4 mm Allen key and 10 mm single-head wrench to loosen the bolts on the foot plate, then remove it
(image 39).
• Mount it in the second set of foot plate notches.
The bracket itself can be reversed so that the holes are posioned to the front of the foot brace. The foot plate
can then be moved further forward.
• Pull the bracket to the right unl the footrest joint is visible.
• Push the le secon away so that the bracket can be removed (image 40).
• Reverse the bracket and repeat the process in reverse order. Mount the footplate (image 40).
6.11 Adjusng an-p device
When extended, the an-p device prevents the wheelchair from pping backwards. When making adjust-
ments that can aect the balance point and distribuon of weight, the an-p device should be extended.
• The height of the an-p device can be adjusted by loosening the bolts with a 5 mm Allen key (image 41).
• When it is at the correct height, ghten the bolts.
Standard height from oor to an-p device wheel: 6 cm (image 42).
• The length of the an-p device can be adjusted by loosening the three bolts on the bracket that mounts
the device to the back axle (image 41). Be careful not to alter the posion of the back axle as this would af-
fect the balance point.
• When the desired length has been aained, ghten the bolts (Tension 10 Nm/7,4 .lbf/88 in.lbf.).
6.12 Adjusng wheel locks
The wheelchair is supplied with push wheel locks as standard. The push wheel locks are acvated by pressing
forwards and can be operated by the user. The push wheel locks are mounted on the wheelchair frame. Other
types of wheel locks are mounted in the same way, so the following adjustment instrucons can also be used
for them.
If the balance point and therefore the posion of the rear wheels is changed, or if the wheel size is changed,
the wheel locks must be moved and adjusted at the same me. The wheel locks must be moved forward before
changing the balance point or rear wheels. Aer adjusng the balance point or changing the wheels, the wheel
locks must be correctly adjusted.
Before adjusng the balance point or changing wheels:
• Use a 5 mm Allen key to loosen the two bolts in the console that fastens the wheel locks to the front-frame
(image 43).
• Move the wheel locks forward and lightly ghten the console so that they are not in the way.
Aer adjusng the balance point or changing wheels:
• Loosen the wheel locks.
• Move them backwards so that the brake pad, when acvated, presses suciently on the tyre to ensure that
the wheelchair is properly locked. As a rule, the brake pad should press the tyre at least 5 mm (image 44).
• Tighten the bolt. Mount the axle and bolts. (Tension 10 Nm/7,4 .lbf/88 in.lbf.)
It is important that the le and right wheel locks have the same posion. Use a slide rule or measuring tape to
check that the wheel locks give the same degree of fricon when acvated.

2. Deacvate the wheel lock by pulling the handle away from the wheel (image 48). The wheel is free of the
wheel lock.
6.13 Adjusng seat height
Seat height can be adjusted by changing to a larger or smaller rear wheel or front caster.
Both must be changed. If only one is changed, the original seat angle will be altered. If the wheelchair has an
adjustable back axle, the height of the back axle can be adjusted and this will adjust the seat height to the rear.
For advice on seat height adjustment, contact your nearest Wolturnus A/S sales consultant or distributor. Con-
tact informaon: see secon 13.
6.14 Adjusng the mutual distance of the rear wheels
• The distance between the rear wheels can be increased or decreased as required.
• Remove the rear wheels.
• Use a 27 mm single-head wrench to loosen the nut on the back axle bushing (image 49).
• Screw the bushing itself in (narrower distance) or out (wider distance) (image 50).
• Tighten the nut (Tension 50 Nm/7,4 .lbf/88 in.lbf.).
• Repeat the process on the opposite side. Make sure that the bushing is screwed in or out by an equal
amount on both sides. Make sure to check the brake posion before using the wheelchair again.
6.15 Changing caster with front fork
• Carefully loosen the bearing housing cap in the casing with a sloed screwdriver (image 51).
• Use a 19 mm socket wrench to remove the nut (image 52).
• Pull out the fork with caster and push the new one into place (image 53).
• Tighten the nut. Do not ghten the nut too much; it must sll be possible to rotate the front fork easily in
the caster casing.
• Put the bearing housing cap back on. (Tension min. 10 Nm/7,4 .lbf/88 in.lbf.) (image 51).
Ensure the correct tyre pressure. Ensure the tyres have the correct pressure before using the chair again.
The maximum air pressure limit is marked on the side of the tyre. It must always be minimum 3.5 bars (350
kPa) on rear wheels. Like push wheel locks, knee-lever wheel locks are only eecve when air pressure is
suciently high and when they are correctly posioned. (When locked, the brake pad should push the tyre
in 5mm (allowing for technical alteraons)).
CAUTION!
Incorrect use of the wheel lock
Never use the wheel locks as driving brakes. Always engage wheel locks in both sides. Check that the wheel
locks are adjusted as advised.
WARNING!
During adjustment of the seat height and/ or angle, the wheelchair’s point of gravity may have shied, which
may create a risk of backward pping. Therefore, aer adjusng the back, check the point of gravity and, if
necessary, adjust it before using the chair. (See secon 6.9).

on: See secon 13.
7.2 Wing Back mul-adjustable back system
The Wing Back system, developed by Wolturnus A/S, is a combined ergonomic support system for trunk and
back that can be opmised. It can be used to meet a wide range of individual seang posion requirements
(image 58)
The Wing Back system is exceponal because the upper part of the back can be adjusted for depth, width and
height and also funcon as a side/body support. Independently of one another, the le and right sides can be
steplessly adjusted. Asymmetric adjustment is therefore possible.
Adjusng the Wing Back system
• Use a 3 mm Allen key to loosen the clamp unl the Wing Back can be moved freely (image 59).
• Adjust the Wing Back height and angle to meet the user’s requirements.
• Tighten the clamp.
• Adjust the Velcro straps according to the procedure for a standard back (see secon 6.4).

7.3 Wheel locks
The Acve wheelchair is supplied with push wheel locks as standard. A range of dierent wheel locks is availa-
ble. These can be chosen when ordering the wheelchair or purchased subsequently, for retrong.
The full range of wheel locks can be seen at the Wolturnus A/S website www.wolturnus.dk/en/products/.
7.4 Sck-holder
Mobility aids such as walking scks can be transported in a sck-holder. A sck-holder can be selected when
ordering or can be retroed (image 60). The sck-holder is mounted on the back axle. It is therefore simple to
retrot.
7.5 Tipping pedal
A pping pedal makes it easier for helpers to lt the chair over obstacles such as kerbs and doorsteps (image 61).
The pping pedal is mounted in the same way as a sck-holder.
7.6 Upgrading rear wheels, push rims and tyres
The rear wheels and rim can be upgraded to stronger, technically more advanced models; e.g. a Spinergy rear
wheel and tanium push rim or Schwalbe Marathon or MTB puncture-proof tyres.
The full range of rear wheels, push rims and tyres can been seen at the Wolturnus A/S website www.wolturnus.

7.8 Quick-release axle with tetra-grip for rear wheels
The Quick-release mechanism with tetra-grip makes it easier for, for example, tetraplegics to release the Quick-
release and remove the rear wheels. Further informaon is available at the Wolturnus A/S website www.wol-
turnus.dk/en/products/.
7.9 Quick-release axle for casters
If quick caster changes are required, a Quick-release axle can be mounted in the front fork. Further informaon
is available at the Wolturnus A/S website www.wolturnus.dk/en/products/.
7.10 Sideguards
The Acve wheelchair is supplied with Dibond sideguards as standard. A range of other sideguards made of
dierent materials, with and without mudguard, is available. The full range of sideguards can be seen at the
Wolturnus A/S website www.wolturnus.dk/en/products/
7.11 Thermal bridge insulaon for sideguards
To insulate in order to prevent thermal bridges, sideguards can be covered with neoprene. Aluminium side-
guards are parcularly well-suited for this treatment as aluminium conducts heat. Neoprene can either be glued
on or secured with Velcro. Templates for custom-made sideguards are retained at Wolturnus A/S so that the
right neoprene cover can be recreated in the future.
7.12 Expansion kit and brackets for xed sideguards (image 62)
An expansion kit can be used to change the distance between sideguards and therefore broaden the seat width.
It can, for instance, be used to advantage in colder months when bulky clothing is worn.
7.13 Bracket for locking folded back
The standard opon is a folding back that can only be locked in an upright posion, not in a folded posion. An
oponal extra bracket allows you to lock the back in a folded posion. This makes transport and handling easier
because the wheelchair can then be lied by the back column (image 63).
7.14 Frame protectors
Frame protectors are available to protect the front part of the frame from impact and scratches (image 64).
Frame protectors are folded ghtly on to the frame and secured with in-built Velcro straps.
7.15 Spoke protectors
Spoke protectors prevent ngers from geng caught in the spokes during propulsion. A wide range of spoke
protectors is available with a choice of neutral or paerned designs.
7.16 Calf-support straps for footrests
Calf-support straps prevent the feets from sliding o the footrest (image 65). The straps can be adjusted to en-
sure that the user’s feet are correctly placed on the footrest. To adjust depth, loosen or ghten the Velcro on the
calf-support strap. (This feature is not possible with the Dalton wheelchair)
7.17 Bags
Catheter bags are available in three leather models:
• Catheter bag for mounng on the back
• Small catheter bag for mounng under the seat
• Large catheter bag for mounng under the seat (image 66)
7.18 Seat cushions
Seat cushions are available in various models and in the required size and thickness. The seat cushion range is
available at the Wolturnus A/S website www.wolturnus.dk/en/products/.
7.19 Straps, belts and restraints
A range of dierent straps and belts are available for dierent purposes. The hip strap is one of the most com-
monly used. It is recommended for use during transport in order to prevent the user falling out of the wheelchair
(image 67).
A loose hip strap can cause the user to slide down and risk choking. The user must sit all the way back in the
seat and the pelvis must be as straight as possible. The hip strap is ghtened over the lower secon of the
pelvis. The hip strap should be ght enough to just allow a at hand between the body and the hip strap.

8.2 Cleaning and disinfecon
The wheelchair should be cleaned regularly according to how oen it is used and how dirty it is.
Clean the frame, plasc parts and wheels with a mild cleaning agent. Aer cleaning, dry all parts with a dry cloth.
Clean cushions and upholstery with warm water and washing-up liquid. Remove stains with a sponge or so
brush. Rinse aerwards with clean water and allow the parts to dry before mounng and using.
To disinfect, use water-based agents and follow the manufacturer’s instrucons.
8.3 Changing a tyre
If a tyre is punctured, the user or a helper may be able to change it themselves. It requires some hand strength,
praccal ability and suitable tools. It is advisable to always have a puncture repair kit and an air pump for emer-
gencies (excluding situaons with puncture-proof tyres). Suitable air pumps, puncture repair kits or puncture
sprays that ll the tyre with expanding foam can be purchased at bicycle shops.
Removing tyres and tubes
• Gently pull the tyre edge over the rim edge with a lever (or two, if it is sing very ghtly). Take care not to
damage the rim or tube (image 68).
• Screw o the valve nut and pull the valve out from the rim and rim strap.
• Pull the tube out from between the tyre and rim (image 69).
Repair and check-ups
• Repair the tube according to the instrucons on the repair kit or replace it with a new tube.
• Before remounng the tyre and tube, make sure no foreign objects that may have caused the puncture are
caught in the rim or tyre.
• Ensure that the tyre band is intact. It protects the tube from spoke damage.
• Push the tube into place between the tyre and rim.
Mounng tyres
• Gently pull the clear tyre edge over the edge of the rim. Start with the valve.
• Check that there are no twists at all in the tube, otherwise air can get out.
• Work the whole way around unl the last secon of the tyre edge is taut and can be edged into place with
one or two levers.
The wheelchair must not be used in salt water.
Avoid geng salt, sand and other dirt that can
cause damage in the wheel bearings, caster
mounng bracket or rear wheels. If this hap-
pens, the bearings should be replaced.
NOTICE
Do not wet-wash. Do not use high-pressure
equipment or a water jet. The wheelchair com-
ponents must not be put in a washing machine.
NOTICE
Do not use corrosive cleaning agents, solvents or
hard brushes.
NOTICE
Clean the seat and back upholstery, cushions,
handles and armrest before disinfecng.

Troubleshoong
Cleaning and maintenance
Pumping
• Check on both sides that the tube is not caught between the tyre edge and rim.
• Push the valve lightly in and pull out again to make sure that it is not caught on the tyre edge.
• Fill the tyre with air to the point that it can sll be pressed in with a thumb. If the control line on both sides
of the tyre indicates the same distance to the rim edge, the tyre is centred. If the tyre is not centred, let
some air out and adjust the tyre unl it is centred. Now pump the tyre up to the maximum working pressure
(see side of tyre) or at least 3.5 bars (350 kPa) and screw the dust cap on ghtly.
Ensure the tyres have the correct pressure before using the chair again. The maximum air pressure limit
is marked on the side of the tyre. It must always be minimum 3.5 bars (350 kPa) on rear wheels. Like push
wheel locks, knee-lever wheel locks are only eecve when air pressure is suciently high and when they
are correctly posioned. (When locked, the brake pad should push the tyre in 5mm (allowing for technical
alteraons)).
CAUTION!

Manufacturer and service locaons
Instrucons for reuse
11 Instrucons for reuse
11.1 Instrucons for reuse
The Acve wheelchair is suitable for reuse by a subsequent new owner. As the wheelchair is individual and
custom-made, it is essenal that the chair measurements and equipment are tailored to suit the new user. As
with machinery and vehicles, there will be wear and tear. It is therefore important to ensure that the chair’s
funcons and features have not been altered to a degree that could create a safety risk for the new user or any
third pares during the lifeme of the chair.
Based on market studies and on its knowledge of contemporary technology, Wolturnus A/S has calculated that
the Acve wheelchair, when used, serviced and maintained in accordance with the original instrucons, has a
ve-year lifeme (excluding me kept in storage by an authorised dealership or the user). Note that with careful
care and proper use, the Acve wheelchair can be used for a longer period than the dened lifeme.
Prior to reuse, the wheelchair must be carefully cleaned and disinfected. The product must then be inspected
by an authorised specialist to assess its condion, wear and tear and damage. All worn or damaged parts and
components that do not suit or are not designed for the new user must be replaced. This user manual includes a
service plan (see maintenance chart secon 8) and detailed informaon about the wheelchair.
11.2 Disposal
The Acve wheelchair is delivered in a brown cardboard box that can be delivered to recycling centres or car-
dboard collecon points. The protecve bubble wrap on the frame must be disposed of as combusble waste.
The aluminium frame must be disposed of as metal. The upholstery and sideguards must be disposed of as
combusble waste.
12 Environment
Wolturnus A/S strives to respect the environment to the greatest degree possible. An assessment has been
done to determine the wheelchair’s eect on the environment during its life cycle. During development, mate-
rials and forms are chosen that minimise waste of energy and material during producon.
Wolturnus A/S has a unique approach to individual user measurement and to subsequent tailoring of the chair
to meet the user’s needs. Combined with the wheelchair’s high mechanical quality, this ensures that the user
can use the wheelchair for many years. The wheelchair lifeme is calculated to be approximately ve years if it
is maintained according to the instrucons in this user manual. The long lifeme limits its eect on the environ-
ment.
Furthermore, meculous quality control throughout the producon process ensures that faults are rare, which
limits the need to use superuous resources on repairs or replacement products.
Generally, all work at Wolturnus A/S is carried out with respect for the environment. Aluminium residue aer
the producon process is collected in containers and delivered for recycling. During the mounng process, use
of hazardous agents is kept to a minimum and the work processes meet occupaonal safety requirements (APV).
Use of material is connually opmized to ensure minimum waste.
