3.2 Storage

INFORMATION
If the power wheelchair is not moved for several days, permanent colour changes may occur in the
regions where the wheelchair is in contact with the support surface. The manufacturer therefore
recommends parking the wheelchair on a suitable surface during extended periods of disuse.
The power wheelchair must be stored in an enclosed area. Remove the main fuse as otherwise
there is a risk of deep discharge.
The storage location must be dry and have sufficient air circulation. Humidity must not build
up. The power wheelchair must not be subjected to any damaging exterior influences, e.g. rain,
snow, or strong solar radiation during storage.
The manufacturer recommends storing the power wheelchair with slightly elevated tyre pressu-
re and using assembly stands or wooden blocks in order to raise the tyres (completely) off the
ground in order to protect them from ground frost. Regularly rotating the wheels helps to prevent
flat spots.
