The electrical wheelchair must be inspected by a Wolturnus-authorised specialist at least once every year
in order to ensure that the chair is in proper working order and safe to use.
•
The chair must immediately cease to be used if any feature is defective or not operational or if any other
circumstance arises which could lead to injury.
•
Before starting to use the electrical wheelchair, all mechanical adjustments (positioning the seat, acces-
sories, etc.) must be carried out in accordance with the user’s individual requirements and abilities. These
adjustments may only be carried out by Wolturnus-authorised specialists.
•
140 kg is the maximum load for the electrical wheelchair. It must not be exceeded.

The wheelchair tyres must be inspected visually before use to ensure that there is sufficient tread depth and
correct tyre pressure. The correct pressure is printed on the tyre.
•
The electrical wheelchair should only be used on areas meant for pedestrians, do not ride it in traffic and
on roads.
