MAINTENANCE
4.1
INSPECTION & SERVICING
WARNING:
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
No part of the chair is user-
serviceable. All servicing must be carried out by Fresenius Medical Care or authorised
agent.
Routine servicing, at least annually, is highly recommended in order to maintain the safe
operation of the chair. Refer to the Service Manual for recommended annual preventive
maintenance.
A regular visual inspection at least once a month is recommended to ensure that each chair
operates safely and as intended by the manufacturer.
Areas to be checked include:
•
Motors operate smoothly through cycle
•
No broken welds and no wabbly parts
•
Upholstery not worn or torn
The battery cannot be changed by the user. The battery is to be replaced after 4 years at the
latest. Perhaps earlier, dependent on the pattern of use. Frequent and high-powered discharges
reduce the battery life. For an optimum lifetime the product must be connected to the mains
voltage as often as possible. If change of battery is required, please contact Fresenius Medical
Care or authorised agent. No liability can be accepted by the manufacturer if the chair is operated
whilst faulty and further damage occurs.

cleaning products, however to ensure suitability, a test should be carried out on an inconspicuous
piece of material, or a sample provided by the manufacturer.
