4.6 Service/Inspection

4.6.1 Check list

A yearly inspection from a qualified medical store is
inevitable for the safe use of the wheelchair and for a
long lifespan. Furthermore, the inspections serve as
proof for the suitability for use in the case of a possible
reinstatement.
For safety reasons and to prevent accidents resulting
from abrasion not recognized on time, a yearly inspec-
tion is designated under normal operating conditions.
�
INDICATION
This is to be done according to the service list and to
be documented in the service record.
According to applicable law §33 subparagraph 1,4
BSG V (Service, Maintenance, Replacement Reserve)
the inspection is part of the commitment of the bene-
factor and has to be acquired by him. For detailed co-
ordination, we recommend you arrange agreements
with your benefactor in the forefront of supplying med-
ical aids.
The staff of the professional repair shop is familiar
with the technique of the aid and can recognize build-
ing abrasion and if necessary they can conduct the
needed reparations.

4.6.3 Service List

The following service list is based on our long-term ex-
perience and is a mandatory guideline with which you
can keep your wheelchair –possibly for a long time – in
a safe to use condition. However, it does not give infor-
mation about the extent of service or repair needed
and observed on the wheelchair.
ATTENTION
Please keep in mind, the even regular maintenance
is not a guarantee for a safe use and road safety.
If necessary, individual repairs and/or adjustment
work is to be done immediately in order to ensure
you are not in great danger.
Considering possible reuse, the filled out service plan
is an informative document about the mobilization of
the wheelchair for the benefactor.
ATTENTION
As a participant in public traffic, the wheelchair driv-
er is responsible for maintaining the wheelchairs
functional state and safe operating condition.
ATTENTION
Insufficient or neglected care and maintenance of
the wheelchair pose a significant safety risk and au-
tomatically lead to limitations of product liability.
