9.2 Information on Re-use

CAUTION
Used seat padding
Functional and/or hygienic risks due to re-use
► Replace the seat padding if the wheelchair is to be re-used.
The product is suitable for re-use.
Similar to second-hand machines or vehicles, products that are being re-used are subject to increased strain. Fea­
tures and functions must not change in a way that could endanger users or other persons within the product's
lifespan.
The product must first be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before it can be re-used. Then the product must be
examined by an authorised specialist to check the condition and to look for wear and possible damage. All worn
and damaged parts as well as components which do not fit or are unsuitable for the new user must be replaced.
Detailed information on replacing components as well as information on the required tools and the prescribed ser­
vice intervals can be found in the service manual.

10 Legal Information
