5.2 Options

The standard model can be fitted to the user's personal requirements thanks to a large range of options. For use of
these options: see Page 22 ff.

5.3 Storage

5.3.1 Storage during daily use

The product should always be stored so it is protected against external influences.

5.3.2 Storage during extended disuse

The product must be stored in a dry place. Specific information for extended storage: see Page 43.
It is not necessary to disassemble the product.
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.
During extended storage, the knee lever wheel lock on wheelchairs with PU tyres (= tubeless tyres) must be
released since tyre deformation may otherwise result.

6 Preparing the product for use

6.1 Assembly

CAUTION
Failure to verify readiness for use before putting into operation
Tipping, falling due to incorrect adjustment or installation
► Before you start using the wheelchair for the first time, check the chosen wheelchair settings with the support
of qualified personnel.
► After every assembly, check for proper mounting of the drive wheels. The quick-release axles must be
securely locked in the receiver bushings.
► Pay particular attention to the stability against tipping, free running of the drive wheels and correct function of
the wheel locks.
► Check the tyre pressure. The correct tyre pressure is printed on the sidewall. Ensure that the pressure is the
same in both tyres.
The wheelchair is preassembled at delivery (see fig. 3). A few simple steps are sufficient to prepare the wheelchair
for use:
1) Attach the drive wheels to the receiver bushings (see Page 29).
2) If necessary: Fold up the backrest (see Page 26).
3) If necessary: Fit the seat cushion. The seat cushion is secured against sliding by being pressed on to the
hook-and-loop fastener (see Page 25).
4) If necessary: Fasten the calf strap to the frame tube above the caster attachment device (see Page 24).
5) If necessary: Fold up the push handles (see Page 27).
