Preparation For Use; Tools Required; Initial Operation - Otto Bock B500 Series Instructions For Use Manual

Preparation for Use

• Avoid unnecessary parking outdoors. Direct exposure to
sunlight/UV radiation causes the tyres to age more
quickly. As a result, the tread surface hardens and corner
pieces break out of the tread.
• The tyres must be changed when the tread is less than 1
mm in order to ensure safe driving behaviour.
• The tyres should be replaced every 2 years regardless of
wear and tear.
