INFORMATION
If a wheelchair is to be disposed of, all components and
materials of the power wheelchair must be recycled or dis-
posed of properly.
If the power wheelchair is no longer in use, it must be dis-
posed of properly in accordance with national regulations.
Please return defective batteries to your specialist dealer
when buying new ones.

10.2 Information on re-use

The power wheelchair is suitable for re-use.
C1000 DS
Similar to second-hand machines or vehicles, products that
are being re-used are subject to increased strain. Features
and functions must not change in a way that could endan-
ger patients or other persons within the product's life cycle.
Based on market observations and the current state of tech-
nology, the manufacturer has calculated that the power
wheelchair can be used for a period of 5 years, provided
that it is used properly and that the service and maintenance
instructions are observed. Storage times at the dealer or
with paying parties are not included in this period. However,
we would like to emphasise that the product is reliable far
beyond this defined period of time, provided that it is cared
for and maintained properly.
In cases of re-use, the corresponding product must first be
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
Subsequently, the product must be examined by an authorised
specialist to check the condition, wear and possible defects.
Any worn and damaged components as well as compo-
nents which do not fit or are unsuitable for the new user
must be replaced.
The service manual includes a service plan for each model,
detailed information and a list of the required tools.
