2.4 Safety Instructions for Service and Maintenance Tasks

WARNING
Risk of pinching or crushing in the electric seat adjustment and stand-up device ranges. When
operating the stand-up device, back angle adjustment (optional) or seat tilt (optional), there are pinch
and shear points in the area between the seat frame and wheelchair frame caused by the construction.
To avoid injuries, always make sure that no parts of the body, e. g. hands or feet, get into the danger
zone, that no interfering objects, e. g. clothing, or obstacles are within the danger zone.
WARNING
Risk of accident and injury if plug or screw connections come loose. For all setting works or for
folding down the backrest for transportation, screw and/or plug connections have to be loosened. This
can cause uncontrolled movements of wheelchair components. Especially the backrest can fold to the
front or rear when removing the cotter pin (double spring cotter) from the backrest. To avoid injuries at
pinch and shear points, carry out such tasks with the support of another person. Make sure to always
keep parts of the body (e. g. hands or head) out of the danger zone.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to pinch points. For design reasons, there are pinch points between the seat and
frame of the Xeno. Special caution is required during all work on the corresponding components.
CAUTION
Risk of pinching or crushing in the pivot ranges of the armrests and footplate. When swinging the
armrests up or down and when flipping the fooplate up or down, make sure your arms and legs are
clear of the danger zone.
CAUTION
Hazards while working on the brake system. Note that there is no braking functionality when the brake
is unlocked. The brake must only be unlocked in hazardous situations and for maintenance or repairs.
The corresponding force required for acceleration and deceleration must come from the person pushing.
Once push mode is no longer needed, the brake release lever must be locked immediately.
