INSPECTION
In principle we recommend annual inspections, but at least before usage is resumed. The following
checks must at least be performed and documented by authorized persons:
•
Check the cabling (especially for: crushing, abrasion, cuts, visible insulation of the inner
conductor, visible metallic veins, kinks, lumpiness, color changes of the outer sleeve, brittle
spots)
•
Visual inspection of the frame parts to check for plastic deformation and/or wear and tear
(basic frame, seat frame, back frame, side parts, leg supports, motor suspensions)
•
Electric leads to be securely placed to avoid shearing, crushing and other mechanical stresses
and strains.
•
Visually check all housings for damage, screws must be securely fixed, seals and gaskets
should not exhibit visible damage.
•
Measure the resistance of the protective braid (O) according to VDE 0751-1
•
Measure the residual diversion current (A) according to VDE 0751-1
•
Measure the insulation resistance (MO) according to VDE 0751-1
•
Check the functioning of the armrests and leg supports (locking, load, deformation, wear and
tear caused by loads)
•
Check the functioning of the drives (during a test drive
powering down (e.g. current limiting, final switch); if necessary: Measure the performance, first
with no load, and then with the nominal load ("SWL") to investigate the wear and tear of the
motors by comparing the values of the electric current with the values at delivery, condition
and function of the carbon rod.
•
Check the condition of the batteries, covers, tubes, and tyres.
Checking measurements may only be carried out by skilled persons trained on the wheelchair at least
and at least under the supervision of an electrician who knows the checking instruments and
processes. Only an electrician is able to release the electric wheelchair for use after successful
checking measurements or servicing. The service must be confirmed in the service plan when at least
the above-mentioned aspects have been checked.
L
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by lacking or improper service.
CARE
Your electric wheelchair requires regular care to keep it in a visually attractive condition. Note the
following hints:
COVERS
Clean the covers with hot water. You can remove stubborn dirt by washing with a mild commercial
detergent. Stains can be removed by using a sponge or a soft brush.
L
Do not use strong cleaning liquids like solvents, nor use hard brushes.
L
We shall decline all liability for damage caused by the use of improper cleaning agents.
L
Take care that you do not soak the covers.
L
Never use steam or pressure jets.
PLASTIC PARTS
Clean all plastic parts of your wheelchair with commercial plastic cleaners. Take note of special
product information.
SURFACE LAYERS
The high quality of the surface layer guarantees optimal protection against corrosion. If the outer layer
has been damaged by scratches or otherwise, you can protect the area by applying varnish obtainable
from your specialist dealer. Occasional greasing of the movable parts (also refer to the section
"Servicing") would ensure that you could enjoy your wheelchair for a long time.
