Driving on public highways
In Germany you are subject to the German
laws for traffic regulation (Strassenverkehr-
sordnung (StVO)) as a pedestrian.
Your wheelchair can optionally be fit with
lighting equipment. The lighting equip-
ment consists of::
– Reflectors on the back support
– Reflectors on the drive wheels.
With limited visibility and especially in the
dark we recommend to mount active light-
ing equipment and to turn it on in order to
see better and be seen.
☞
When participating in public traffic the
user is responsible or the functional-
and operationally safe condition of the
wheelchair.
☞
When driving in the dark avoid using
the road or bicycle lanes.
☞
Observe that the lighting equipment is
not covered by clothes or any other ob-
jects attached to the wheelchair.
Cleaning
The plastic panelling is attacked through
non-ionic tensides as well as solvents and
especially alcohol.
The cushions and covers are normally fit
with care instructions (instruction for care).
In all other cases the following information
is true:
☞
Clean the upholstery with warm water
and hand washing liquid.
☞
Remove spots with a sponge or a soft
brush.
☞
Wash off persistent dirt with commer-
cial fine detergent.
☞
Do not soak! Do not machine wash!
Follow-up with clean water and allow to dry.
The chassis, the lighting equipment and
wheels can be cleaned damp with a mild
detergent. Afterwards dry off well.
☞
Check the chassis for corrosion damag-
es as well as other damages.
☞
Only clean the plastic parts with warm
water and neutral detergent or soft
soap.

Finish
The high quality finish ensures an optimum
of protection against corrosion.
☞
Should the coating be damaged with
scratches or similar, these areas can be
touched up with our paint pen availa-
ble at the specialist dealer.
Slight lubrication of moving parts will en-
sure for their long functioning.
Disinfection
If the product is used by more than one per-
son (for example in a care centre), the use of
a commercial disinfectant is mandatory.
☞
Before disinfection the upholstery and
handles are to be cleaned.
☞
A spray- or wiping disinfection is per-
mitted with tested and accredited dis-
infectants.
A list of the disinfectants and disinfection
means tested and approved by the Robert
Koch Institute can be found under:

☞
During the use of disinfectants it can
happen that surfaces might be affect-
ed in such a fashion that the long term
functionality of parts can be limited.
