4.4 Inspection
In principle we recommend one inspection every year, and a minimum of one before usage
is resumed. All of the following checks must be performed and documented by authorized
persons:
•
Check the frame parts and the hinged tubes for plastic deformation, cracks and
impaired functioning.
•
Visually check for damage to the paintwork (danger of corrosion)
•
Check the operation of the wheels (free running, level rolling, axle play, tyres, profile,
condition of the rims, air pressure in the case of air tyres, floating axles, etc.)
•
Check the solidity and seating of all screws.
•
Verify the amount of grease on the metal joints of movable parts
•
The condition and security of the guides and axles of the steering wheels
•
Visually check all plastic parts for cracks and brittle spots
•
Check the functioning of the footrest, backrest and seat (locking, load, deformation,
wear caused by loads).
•
Check the operation of other detachable parts (example: personal safety belt, etc.)
•
Completeness of the delivery condition, instruction manual available?
The service must only be signed off in the maintenance plan if a minimum of all the above-
mentioned aspects have been checked.
