The Light Assist
2.1
is equipment requiring very little maintenance. However, your equipment should
undergo a technical safety check at least every 2 years, performed by a specialist who will check if it is
fully functional and safe. This check will detect any unseen damage caused by using the system, as well
as wear and fatigue phenomena. To this end, please make direct contract with your Benoit Systemes
approved dealer.
Correct servicing will improve your vehicle’s performance and extend its service life, as well as reducing
the risk of an accident.

SERVICING THE EQUIPMENT
CAUTION
It is important to follow the servicing and mainte-
nance programme for the equipment to keep it in
good condition.
CAUTION
If in doubt about the performance of your vehicle, contact your approved dealer.
WARNING

yourself, contact your approved dealer.
WARNING
Inflate the tyres to between 6 and 8 bar
It is better to have a tyre inflated without knowing the exact pressure that to have a deflated tyre.
Keep your wheelchair fitted with good quality tyres. Contact your dealer if you cannot find the same
tyres as those we have fitted (Schwalbe tyres, Marathon Plus or PrimoSentinel).
Never replace the pneumatic tyres with solid tyres.
