6.3 Repairs
Consult your repair centre for repairs
and servicing. Centres are experienced
in this work and usually employ specially
trained personnel.
6.4 Customer service
Should you have any questions or require
assistance, please consult your
ORTOPEDIA dealer, who has been
trained at our factory in accordance with
our guidelines and can give advice as
well as carry out servicing and repairs.
6.5 Spare parts
Parts can only be obtained through your
dealer. In the event of repairs, use only
original ORTOPEDIA spare parts.
To enable the correct supply of spare
parts, always quote the appropriate se-
rial number, which is shown on the
nameplate!
For all modifications carried out on the
wheelchair, the dealer must add the
date of modification and the appropri-
ate assembly instructions to the wheel-
chair Operating Instructions.
This ensures that no incorrect details will
be given for future orders of spare parts.
6.2.3
Punctures
If pneumatic tyres are punctured by
sharp objects such as nails, screws, glass
slivers etc., the puncture should be re-
paired (by mending the inner tube) or
the tube replaced.
!
Warning:
Before repairing a tyre, the air valve
must be opened in order to let out
the air remaining in the tube.
The outer part of the tyre must be
removed and replaced using appro-
priate tyre levers (bicycle accessories).
Do not use a screwdriver or other
pointed or sharp-sided object as a
lever!
Swivel wheels:
Before replacement or repair, the swivel
wheel axle must be removed (Fig. 58).

Note:
Observe the position of any sleeves
or washers for reassembly.
