5.2 Accessories

The standard model can be fitted to the user's personal requirements thanks to a large range of options.
A full list of the available modules and accessories is shown on the order form and in the accessories catalogue.
For use of the options, see the section "Use".
Please note that retrofitting options further reduces the maximum load capacity (user weight + luggage).
The maximum load capacity (see print on the nameplate; see page 13) is thereby respectively reduced by the
weight of the retrofitted options.

5.2.1 Accessories from other manufacturers

As per the order for the power wheelchair, some components from third-party manufacturers have been installed
prior to delivery. Please observe the following instructions in this regard:
• Accessories from other manufacturers must be intended for use on wheelchairs and must fulfil all currently
applicable legal requirements.
• When using the accessories from other manufacturers, the instructions for use / manufacturer's instructions for
the relevant accessories must be strictly observed. These are included with the instructions for use.
• Ottobock assumes no liability for combinations with medical devices and/or accessories from other manufac­
turers outside the Ottobock modular system.
• In case of questions or problems with accessories from other manufacturers, please contact the qualified per­

5.3 Storage

5.3.1 Storage during daily use

The power wheelchair should always be protected against external influences.
The control unit must be turned off.

5.3.2 Storage during extended disuse

NOTICE
Deep discharge
Battery damage due to standby current
► Remove the fuse if the wheelchair is not used for more than 3 days.
Please observe the following if the power wheelchair is not used for more than 3 days:
Storage conditions
• Store the power wheelchair in a dry, enclosed room with sufficient air circulation and protection from external
influences. Specific information about storage conditions: see page 117.
• Protect the wheels against ground frost, for example by taking all weight off them using an assembly stand or
by setting them onto wooden blocks.
• Maintain sufficient clearance from sources of heat. If the product is parked for an extended period of time or
the tyres overheat (e.g. in the vicinity of radiators or in case of exposure to strong sunlight behind glass), the
tyres may become permanently deformed.
• Fill pneumatic tyres with slight overpressure.
• Rotate the wheels weekly to prevent flat tyres from extended standing.
• For extended storage, store the power wheelchair so the wheels are not in contact with the ground.
Note regarding the tyres
• If the power wheelchair is not moved for several days, permanent colour changes may develop where it comes
into contact with the ground. A suitable base should therefore be used when parking it for extended periods of
time.
• Black tyres contain carbon black particles. They may leave black friction marks where they come into contact
with the ground. Therefore, the manufacturer recommends grey tyres if the product is primarily used indoors.
• 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 (0.04") to ensure safe driving behaviour.
