TRAVELER usage instructions
to prevent injuries to the vehicle occupants in
the event of a collision.
Wheelchairs and restraint systems that
have been exposed to an impact must be re-
placed. They may no longer be used as a seat
or for securing in motor vehicles.
29 Storage
When being stored, the product should be kept
in a dry environment and covered up where
possible.
To avoid corrosion and therefore malfunctions
or breakages of components, the product may
not be exposed to any aggressive environmen-
tal influences (especially salt) or to any strong
solar radiation. Because of the effect of salt
water in the winter and the humidity on rainy
days, it is not recommended to store the prod-
uct in the garage.
If the product is not used or is stored over
a longer period, if necessary, before using it
again, we recommend having a rehabilitation
specialist dealer give it a general function and
safety check.
