1 Safety and assembly instructions
The safety instructions are intended as prevention of accidents at work and it is imperative that
they are observed.
1.1 Before any inspection or repair work
• Read and observe this repair manual and the associated operating manual.
• Observe the minimum requirements for carrying out the work. See the chapter entitled
“General
guidelines”.
Caution:
• Please note the high weight of some components. This applies especially to removal
of drive units and batteries.
• The wheelchair must be switched off before removal of voltage-carrying components.
To do this remove the battery.
• When making measurements on voltage-carrying components, avoid short-circuiting
the contacts.
Danger of fire and combustion !
• Use only undamaged tools in good condition.
Twister/Twister Junior Service Manual
Page 20 Issued:21.01.02
1.2 During dismantling/reassembly
• Mark all current settings for the wheelchair (seat, armrests, backrest etc.), and the cable
connecting plugs associated, before any removals. This makes reassembly easier.
Caution:
• Prop up the lifted wheelchair with appropriate supports before starting the
disassembly or assembly.
• Never use "normal" nuts instead of self-locking nuts.
• Never re-use self locking nuts, always replace with new.
• Always use correctly dimensioned washers or spacers.
Note:
• All plugs are fitted with mechanical safety devices which prevent release of
the connecting plugs during operation.
• To release the connecting plugs the safety devices must be pressed in.
• When reassembling ensure that these safety devices are correctly engaged.
• If the seating system is tipped forward for maintenance and service work,
it must be supported as necessary.
1.3 Before operation / after completion of work:
Caution:
• Check all fixings for tight fit.
• Check all parts for correct interlocking.
• Only operate wheelchair with correct tyre pressure (2.5 bar).
• As a last check always
carry out a trial run.
