Replacing the front shock absorbers

WARNING: Danger of crushing!
The mobility device is very heavy. Injury hazard to hands and feet!
• You should seek help from a second person.
Injury hazard caused by uncontrolled movement of the mobility device!
• Switch the power supply off (ON/OFF key).
• Engage the drive.
• Before raising the vehicle, secure the wheels by blocking them with wedges.
• When jacking up the wheelchair please use a block of wood that is large enough to provide
large-area support to the wheelchair under the battery box. This improves the tilt resistance of
the wheelchair during repair work.
Requirements:
• Open-end spanner 13 mm
• Ratchet
• Socket 19 mm
• Small, flat screwdriver
• 4 x wooden blocks (approx. 12 x 12 x 30 cm) to the jack up of the vehicle and the drive unit
NOTE
Please keep small parts such as screws and grommets safe during dismantling. Lay all small
parts down in such a way that they can be re-fitted in the correct order.
