4.4 Storage

The wheelchair must be stored in a dry place. An ambient temperature between -10 °C and +40 °C must be main­
tained.
During extended storage, the knee lever wheel lock on wheelchairs with PU tyres must be released since tyre
deformation may otherwise result.
Note regarding the tyres
• Tires contain chemical substances that can react with other chemical substances (such as cleaning agents,
acids, etc.).
• Direct exposure to sunlight or UV radiation causes the tyres to age more quickly. As a result, the tread surface
hardens and corner pieces break out of the tread.
• Avoid unnecessary parking outdoors. The tyres should be replaced every 2 years regardless of wear and tear.

5 Preparation for Use

5.1 Assembly

CAUTION
Failure to verify readiness of use prior to putting into operation
Risk of tipping, falling
► Before you start using the product for the first time, check the chosen product settings with the support of
qualified personnel.
► Verify the proper fit of the rear wheels with quick-release axle each time they are installed. The quick-release
axles must be firmly locked in the wheel adapter.
► Check the seating position centre of gravity. It must be set so that activating the seat adjustment locking pedal
allows the seat to be adjusted easily. Contact the qualified personnel if necessary.
→ Centre of gravity too far forward: the user could tip forward when the seat is tilted.
→ Centre of gravity too far back: the user could tip backwards when the seat is tilted.
► In particular, verify tip resistance, easy operation of the wheels and correct brake functionality.
► For pneumatic tyres: check the tyre pressure. For the correct air pressure, see the chapter "Technical Data".
Ensure that the pressure is the same in both tyres.
► Verify that the knee lever wheel lock settings are correct (approx. 5 mm gap to the tyre, technical changes
reserved).
