Wolturnus Buzzard Handbike User’s manual 2019
Instructions for reuse
11 Instructions for Reuse
11.1 Instructions for Reuse
The bikes are suitable for reuse by a subsequent new owner. It is essential that the handbike measurements and
equipment are tailored to suit the new user. It follows that it is important to ensure that the bike’s functions and
features have not been altered to a degree that could create a safety risk for the new user or any third parties
during the lifetime of the chair.
Based on market studies and on its knowledge of contemporary technology, Wolturnus A/S has calculated that
the bike, when used, serviced and maintained in accordance with the original instructions, has a lifetime of 5
years (excluding time kept in storage by an authorised dealership or the user). Note that with meticulous care
and proper use, the bike can be used for a longer period than the defined lifetime.
Prior to reuse, the handbike must be carefully cleaned and disinfected. Then the product must be inspected
by an authorised specialist to assess its condition, wear and tear, and damage. All worn or damaged parts and
components that do not suit or are not designed for the new user must be replaced. This user´s manual includes
a service plan (see maintenance chart section 8) and detailed information about the bike.
11.2 Disposal
The bike is delivered in a brown cardboard box, that can be handed into to recycling centres or cardboard collec-
tion points. The protective bubble wrap on the frame must be disposed of as combustible waste. The aluminum
frame must be disposed of as metal. The upholstery must be disposed of as combustible waste.
12 Environment
Wolturnus A/S strives to respect the environment as far as possible. An assessment has been done to determine
the bikes effect on the environment during its life cycle. During development, materials and forms are chosen
that minimise waste of energy and material during production.
Wolturnus A/S has a unique approach to individual user´s measurement and to the subsequent special design
of the chair to meet the user’s needs, preferences and requirements. Combined with the bike’s mechanical
quality, this ensures that the user can use the handbike for many years. The bike lifetime is calculated to be ap
-
proximately 5 years if maintained according to the instructions in this user´s manual. The long lifetime limits the
handbike´s effect on the environment.
Furthermore, meticulous quality control throughout the production process ensures that faults are rare, which
limits the need to use superfluous resources on repairs or replacement products. Generally, all functions, work
-
ing processes and labor at Wolturnus A/S are carried out with respect for the environment. Aluminum residue
after the production process is collected in containers and delivered for recycling. During the mounting process,
the usage of hazardous agents is kept to a minimum. Furthermore all work processes meet occupational safety
requirements (APV). The usage of all materials is continually optimized to ensure minimum waste.
