6. Care instructions for the user
6.1. Cleaning and disinfection
Make sure that the wheelchair is switched off before starting to clean it.
• The frame sections and panels of the wheelchair can be wiped with
a damp cloth. A mild cleaning agent can be used for stubborn dirt.
• The wheels can be cleaned with a damp brush with plastic bristles
(do not use a wire brush).
• The seat, seat back and arm support can be cleaned of dust and
minor dirt with a damp cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning
agents, because they may attack the surface of the material. The
cushions can be washed with warm water at 40°C and disinfected
with a standard disinfectant.
• Please note that electrical and electronic components must not
come into contact with water unnecessarily.
Caution! Do not use high pressure cleaners or
steam cleaners.
6.2. Check before use
6.2.1. Brake check
Every time you use the wheelchair check the brake system. Move forward
slowly and release the joystick. The wheelchair must come to a stop in
the normal manner. When it is at a standstill the mechanical brake
must lock with an audible click. If you detect unusual brake behaviour,
inform your dealer immediately and do not use the wheelchair. The
motor brake operates correctly if you cannot push the wheelchair when
it is switched off. However, if it can be moved, the electromagnetic
brake is faulty. Do not use the wheelchair if this is the case. Contact
your dealer immediately.
6.2.2. Checking lights, indicators
and horn
Before moving off in the wheelchair always check the operation of
the lighting system, the indicators and horn. If you press the button
and there is no response from the equipment, inform your dealer
immediately and do not use the wheelchair.
6.2.3. Checking the tyres
Before moving off in the wheelchair always check that the tyres are
undamaged and the tyre pressure is adequate. If the pressure is too
low, the tyres must be pumped up. Check the tyre tread depth at least
once a month. It should be at least 1 mm. Defective or worn tyres must
be replaced by the dealer.
6.3. Batteries
The wheelchair is equipped with maintenance-free gel batteries
whose fluid level does not need to be checked. If you do not use your
wheelchair for an extended period, the batteries should be charged
once a motnh, otherwise they may be destroyed by deep discharge.
Make a habit of checking the battery status display on the control
every time before using your wheelchair. If the battery status display
shows only the red LEDs, do not travel long distances and connect the
battery charger to the wheelchair
as soon as possible (VR2 control). We recommend charging the battery
after every time the wheelchair is used.
6.3.1. Charging
Charging for the first time:
To charge the batteries to their maximum capacity proceed as follows:
• Discharge the factory-charged batteries until the LED display shows
two bars.
