Storage; Servicing - Vermeiren Eclips+ Instruction Manual

E
L
If you want to pick up something (lying in front of, on the side, or to the rear of the wheelchair),
you should not lean too far out to avoid tipping over because of the displacement of the centre
of gravity.
L
When moving through doors, arches, etc, ensure that there is enough room at the sides so
that you do not get your hands or arms caught or crushed and so that no damage is done to
the wheelchair.
L
Only use your wheelchair according to regulations. For example, avoid uncontrolled rolling
against obstacles (steps, kerbs, doorframes, etc) or dropping down from ledges. The
manufacturer cannot assume liability for damage caused by overloading, collision or other
improper use.
L
Stairs may only be negotiated when aided by another person. If furnishings like drive-on
ramps or lifts are available, use them.
L
Check the profile depth and the inflation pressure of the tyres.
L
When moving on the public highway, you are subject to the rules of the road.
L
When driving your wheelchair, you should not be under the influence of alcohol or medicine as
in the case of driving other vehicles. This also applies to indoor driving.
L
When travelling outdoors, adapt your driving to weather and traffic conditions.
L
When transporting the wheelchair, never pick it up by grasping movable parts (armrests, leg
supports, etc.), but take hold of solid frame parts only.
L
To be better visible when driving in the dark, wear the brightest possible clothing or clothes
with reflectors, and check that the reflectors mounted on the sides and rear of the wheelchair
are clearly visible.
L
Be careful when using possible causes of fire such as cigarettes since they may set the seat
and back covers alight.
L
Never exceed the maximum load (max. 286.60 lb.).

STORAGE

• Store in a dry place (between + 5 °C and + 45 °C).
• The relative humidity of the air should be between 30% and 70%.
• Air pressure between 700 hPa and 1060 hPa.
• Provide sufficient covering or packaging to protect the wheelchair from rust and foreign bodies
(e.g. salt water, sea air, sand, dust).
• Store all removed parts together in one place (or mark them if necessary) to avoid mixing up
with other products when re-assembling.
Components must be stored without being subjected to strains.
•

SERVICING

Your wheelchair also requires servicing like any other technical product. The activities which have to
be performed to ensure that you would fully enjoy the advantages of your wheelchair even after long
periods of use, are described below.
BEFORE DRIVING
Check the tyres for visible damage and/or soiling. Remove any dirt since it could impair
-
the functioning of the parking brakes. When a tyre is damaged, kindly go to an authorised
workshop for repairs (also refer to the chapter on "Tyre changing").
Ensure that screw fastenings (e.g. the seat/back) are secure.
-
- Before driving off, check the efficiency of the parking brakes. If they do not function
properly, consult your specialist dealer (see also the chapter on "Parking brakes").
Check the pressure of the tyres and inflate them if necessary (refer also to the chapters
-
"Tyre changing" and "Technical details").
