Page 127: The Maintenance-Free Accumulators
21.7 The maintenance-free accumulators Your PARAVAN electric wheelchair is fitted with high-quality, high-performance accumulators. These mainte- nance-free accumulators are entirely enclosed. The system is not designed to need or allow any refilling or topping up the electrolyte (battery acid). The state of charge or capacity of the accumulators can be seen from the control panel. -
Page 128: Notes On Accumulators
21.8 Notes on accumulators The enclosed accumulators should never be opened. Opening the accumulators will cause irrepara- ble damage to these components, possibly resulting in a complete loss of energy supply. See Section "23.1 Dealing with closed accumulators" The accumulators should always be recharged using the supplied recharging device after every spell of use (even if use of charge was minimal during the spell). -

23.4 Protocol of the handover briefing Due to the flexible options available for setting up your electric wheelchair, you must observe the following points: Where there is tilt: › It should be ensured that the seat is not leaning out too far to the front or back, as this may mean you might slip out of the seat. - Page 141 Foot rests: › When adjusting the height and angle of the foot rests, be careful that the height does not make contact with the seat padding. › The foot rest setting must be higher than any obstacle. In addition, the foot rest must not become caught up by the obstacle, as this may cause the electric wheelchair to topple over.
