Your electric wheelchair comes with a vari-
ety of options that allow you to adjust it to
suit your physical requirements and needs.
National regulations may prohibit the
wheelchair from being transported on bus-
es, trains, planes or helicopters.
☞
Check with the specific carrier to find
out about any restrictions.
☞
Before your departure, ask your airline
about the specific terms and condi-
tions of transport and the baggage re-
quirements that apply to your country
of origin and your holiday destination.
The electric wheelchair must be used strict-
ly in accordance with the specifications and
limits indicated in the
Technical data
on
page 56.
ADJUSTMENT
Ensure that any adjustment, configura-
tion or repair work is only performed by
an authorised distributor.
The electric wheelchair can be adjusted
to fit individual body sizes. Before you use
the wheelchair, your authorised distributor
should adjust it and instruct you on its fea-
tures. This adjustment takes into account
both your physical limitations and the en-
vironment in which you primarily will be
using the chair. Before use, make sure that
you are satisfied with how the wheelchair
is functioning.
If your distributor revises/updates or sub-
stantially modifies your electric wheelchair
without using the original manufacturer’s
parts, this may constitute a resale of the
wheelchair. This means that your distrib-
utor may need to re-assess the terms and
conditions of sale and undertake a new risk
analysis.
☞
To ensure optimal functioning, we rec-
ommend routine inspections of your
wheelchair’s adjustment as well as a
new inspection in the event of any last-
ing changes in your disorder/disability.
An adjustment every 6 months is espe-
cially recommended in the case of chil-
dren and adolescents.
☞
We recommend regular medical check-
ups so that you can actively use the
wheelchair on public transport.
USE WITH PRODUCTS
FROM OTHER
MANUFACTURERS
In general, any combination of your electric
wheelchair with components not supplied
by the manufacturer constitutes a mate-
rial modification of your wheelchair. Con-
tact your authorised distributor to find out
whether the manufacturer has approved
the combination.
WHEN THE ELECTRIC
WHEELCHAIR IS USED BY
ANOTHER PERSON
The wheelchair’s modular construction al-
lows it to be reconfigured for a new user.
Before a new person takes the wheelchair
into use, a complete inspection must al-
ways be performed.
☞
The required hygienic measures, which
shall be performed in accordance with
a validated hygiene plan, must include
disinfection.
