1 Safety and assembly instructions

The safety instructions are intended as prevention of accidents at work and it is imperative that
they are observed.
1.1

Before any inspection or repair work

• Read and observe this repair manual and the associated operating manual.
• Observe the minimum requirements for carrying out the work (see chapter entitled "General
information").
Caution:
• Please note the heavy weight of some components. This applies especially to removal
of drive units and batteries.
• The wheelchair must be switched off before removal of voltage-carrying components.
To do this, disconnect the batteries or remove them.
• When making measurements on voltage-carrying components, avoid short-circuiting
the contacts.
Danger of fire and combustion !
• Use only undamaged tools in good condition.
1.2

During dismantling/reassembly

• Mark all current settings for the wheelchair (seat, armrests, backrest etc.), and the cable
connecting plugs associated, before any removals. This makes reassembly easier.
Caution:
• Prop up the lifted wheelchair with appropriate supports before starting the
disassembly or assembly.
• Never use standard nuts instead of self-locking nuts.
• Always use correctly dimensioned washers or spacers.
"
Note:
• All plugs are fitted with mechanical safety devices which prevent release of the
connecting plugs during operation.
• To release the connecting plugs the safety devices must be pressed in.
• When reassembling ensure that these safety devices are correctly engaged.
• Cable binders which have been cut off during disassembly should be replaced by
new ones during reassembly.
