Repair Work

7.1

General warning information on installation work

CAUTION: Risk of damage to the vehicle! Collisions can be caused if shim rings are
removed from the drive wheels during installation work!
· Shim rings are frequently placed between the drive shaft and the wheel hub to compensate
tolerances. Collisions can be caused if these shim rings are removed and not re-installed!
Please install all shim rings in exactly the same positions they were in before dismantling.
7.2

Replacing a motor

PLEASE NOTE: Danger of tipping and crushing
· When jacking up the wheelchair please use a block of wood that is large enough to provide
large-area support to the wheelchair under the battery box. This improves the tilt resistance of
the wheelchair during repair work.
PLEASE NOTE: Fire hazard and danger of burns due to bridging of the battery poles
· When replacing the batteries the battery poles must NOT come into contact wth the metal
parts of the wheelchair thus leading to bridging.
· Please be sure to re-apply the battery pole caps after the batteries have been replaced.
Pre-requisites:
· Small, flat screwdriver
· 5 mm Allen key
· 8 mm Allen key
· 11 mm open-ended spanner
· 19 mm open-ended spanner
· Metal pin, 2.5 mm in diameter (for striking out the splint in the disengaging lever)
· Small hammer
· Edge cutter
· Cable tie
· Block of wood (approx. 12 x 12 x 30 cm) to jack up the vehicle
Information
Please keep small parts such as screws and grommets safe during dismantling. Lay all small
parts down in such a way that they can be re-fitted in the correct order.
