Krypton R Rev.B

6.0 Maintenance and care...

• If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it afterwards.

• A small amount of sewing-machine oil should be applied to

quick-release axles approximately every 8 weeks. Depending

on the frequency and type of use, we recommend taking your

wheelchair to your authorised dealer every 6 months to have it

inspected by trained personnel.

• If you want to store the wheelchair for a long period of time,

then no further measures are required. Make sure that the

wheelchair is stored at room temperature in a dry place which

is protected from strong sunlight. Before using it again, the

wheelchair should be checked by an authorised dealer.

CAUTION!

Sand and sea water (or salt in the winter) can damage the

bearings of the front and rear wheels. Clean the wheelchair

thoroughly after exposure.

The following parts can be removed and sent back to the

manufacturer/dealer for repair:

• Rear wheels

• Armrest

• Anti-Tip tubes

These components are available as spare parts. For further

information, please see the spare parts catalogue.

Hygiene measures when being re-used:

Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must be carefully

prepared. All surfaces which come into contact with the user

must be treated with a disinfection spray.

To do this, you must use a disinfectant from the DGHM list, e.g.

Antifect Liquid (Schülke & Mayr) for rapid disinfection for

medical products and medical devices, which must be

disinfected quickly.

Please pay attention to the manufacturer’s instructions of the

disinfectant you are using.

In general, a complete disinfection cannot be guaranteed on

seams. We therefore recommend that you dispose of seat and

back slings to avoid microbacterial contamination with active

agents according to § 6 infection protection law.

7.0 Disposal / Recycling of Materials

If the wheelchair has been made available to you free of charge,

then it does not belong to you. If it is no longer required, then

follow the instructions to return it as given by the organisation

that made the wheelchair available to you.

In the following section, there is a description of the materials

used on the wheelchair, in view of the disposal or recycling of

the wheelchair and its packaging.

Particular regulations with regard to disposal or recycling may

be in force locally and these must be taken into account when

performing disposal. (This can include the cleaning or

decontamination of the wheelchair prior to disposal).

frame, footrest, push handle.

Carbon fibre: Frame tubes, axles, axle brackets, back tubes.

8.0 Trouble-shooting

Wheelchair pulls to one side

• Check tyre pressure

• Check to make sure wheel turns easily (bearings, axle)

• Check the castor angle

• Check to make sure both castors are making proper contact

with the ground.

Castors begin to wobble

• Check the castor angle

• Check to make sure all bolts are secure; tighten if necessary

(see the section on torque)

with the ground.

Wheelchair / Cross-tube assembly does not snap into

position in the seat saddle

• Chair is still new, i.e., the seat or backrest upholstery is still

very stiff. This will improve with time.

accordingly.
