The maximum load capacity (see print on the nameplate; see Page 15) is thereby respectively reduced by the
weight of the retrofitted options.
4.2.1 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 under the Medical Devices Act as well as further applicable standards.
•
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 not included in Ottobock's modular system.
•
In case of questions or problems with accessories from other manufacturers, please contact the qualified per

4.3 Storage
4.3.1 Storage during daily use
The power wheelchair should always be protected against external influences.
The control unit must be turned off.
4.3.2 Storage during extended disuse
NOTICE
Deep discharge
Battery damage due to standby current
► Deactivate the circuit breaker if the wheelchair is not used for more than 3 days.
► To deactivate the circuit breaker: see Page 19
Please observe the following if the power wheelchair is not used for more than 3 days:
Storage conditions
Maintain an ambient temperature between -15 °C and +40 °C (5 °F and +104 °F) and relative humidity
•
between 45 % and 85 %.
•
Store the power wheelchair in a dry, enclosed room with sufficient air circulation and protection from external
influences.
•
Protect the wheels against ground frost, e.g. by relieving them completely through assembly blocks or wooden
boards.
•
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 occur where the wheel
chair comes into contact with the surface it is standing on. Therefore a suitable mat should be used when park
ing it for extended periods of time.
•
Tyres contain chemical substances that can react with other chemical substances (such as cleaning agents,
acids, etc.).
•
Black tyres contain soot particles. They may leave black marks where they come into contact with the ground.
Therefore the manufacturer recommends grey tyres if the wheelchair 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.
•
The tyres should be replaced every 2 years regardless of wear and tear.
•
•
When power wheelchairs with PU tyres are parked for long periods, the tyres may become deformed (flat
spots). This deformation will go away on its own over time while driving.
