Your wheelchair is equipped by the manufac-
turer with reflectors on the back support and
drive wheels.
With limited visibility and especially in the
dark we recommend to mount active lighting
equipment and to turn it on in order to see bet-
ter and be seen.
☞ When participating in public traffic the
user is responsible or the functional- and
operationally safe condition of the wheel-
chair.
☞ When driving in the dark avoid using the
road or bicycle lanes.
☞ Ensure that the vehicle headlights, indica-
tors, rear lights and reflectors are not cov-
ered by clothing or by items secured to the
vehicle.
Cleaning
The plastic panelling is attacked through
non-ionic tensides as well as solvents and es-
pecially alcohol.
The cushions and covers are normally fit with
care instructions (instruction for care). In all
other cases the following information is true:
☞ Clean the upholstery with warm water and
hand washing liquid.
☞ Remove spots with a sponge or a soft
brush.
☞ Wash off persistent dirt with commercial
fine detergent.
☞ Do not soak! Do not machine wash!
Follow-up with clean water and allow to dry.
The chassis, reflectors and wheels can be clea-
ned damp with a mild detergent. Afterwards
dry off well.
☞ Check the chassis for corrosion damages as
well as other damages.
☞ Only clean the plastic parts with warm wa-
ter and neutral detergent or soft soap.
Finish
The high quality finish ensures an optimum of
protection against corrosion.
☞ For paint and chrome care the commercial-
ly available brand name paint and chrome
cleansers are recommendable.
☞ Should the coating be damaged with
scratches or similar, these areas can be
touched up with our paint pen available at
the specialist dealer.
Slight lubrication of moving parts will ensure
for their long functioning.
Disinfection
If the product is used by more than one person
(for example in a care centre), the use of a com-
mercial disinfectant is mandatory.
☞ Before disinfection the upholstery and
handles are to be cleaned.
☞ A spray- or wiping disinfection is permitted
with tested and accredited disinfectants.
A list of the disinfectants and disinfection me-
ans tested and approved by the Robert Koch
Institute can be found under:
< http://www.rki.de >.
☞ During the use of disinfectants it can hap-
pen that surfaces might be affected in
such a fashion that the long term function-
ality of parts can be limited.
☞ In doing so the manufacturers instructions
are to be observed.
