Special safety information for
model 1.158
The frame parts of your wheelchair model
are composed of highly tensile carbon fibre
reinforced plastic (Carbon).
Overexertion, e.g. by dropping the wheel-
chair or accidents can lead to invisible
damage (tearing) of the carbon fibres.
– Prevent bumping and hits that exceed
the regular use.
After dropping the wheelchair or after an
accident you should have the wheelchair
checked by your specialist dealer.
A damaged carbon assembly group
should not be used further.
Have the damaged carbon assembly
group replaced as quickly as possible.
Additional attachments to the carbon
parts through clamping or screwing is not
permitted.
Changes to the carbon parts e.g. by drill-
ing holes, shortening of parts, or similar is
not permitted.
