Disposal

• Some maintenance tasks can be carried out to a certain extent by the user at home (see the section "Mainten­
ance Tasks").
The manufacturer also recommends regular maintenance every 12 months by an authorised dealer.
•
• Failure to maintain the product can lead to serious or life-threatening injury to the user of the product.
• Service and repairs may only be carried out by authorised dealers or the manufacturer. This will ensure that
only Ottobock spare parts are used for repairs.

7.2 Maintenance Tasks

During maintenance work, attention must be paid to the following:
• The rear wheels and fixed front wheels (standard equipment) are designed to be a quick-release axle system.
To keep this system operational, ensure that no dirt adheres to the quick-release axle or axle housing. Periodic­
ally lubricate the quick-release axle very lightly with resin-free sewing machine oil.
• In the case of swiveling front wheel (option), hair and dirt frequently collect between the caster fork and the
caster wheel and make the caster wheels harder to manoeuvre as time goes by. Remove the caster wheel and
thoroughly clean the fork and caster wheel using a mild household cleaner.
• If the product gets wet it should be rubbed dry.
• Regularly check that the screw connections and rivet joints are secure.
Screw connections should be periodically checked for tightness, especially during the initial period of use or
after making adjustments. If a screw connection loosens repeatedly, contact the specialist dealer promptly.
