1 Preface

Regular maintenance is important. It increases safety and prolongs the service life of the product.

All Mobility products should be inspected and serviced once a year.

However, if the product is used frequently, or if it is used by growing children or patients with changing clinical

conditions, we recommend readjusting and servicing the product every 6 months.

Use only original spare parts for all service and maintenance.

The service and maintenance described in this manual should be performed by skilled specialists only and not

by the user.

This service and maintenance manual refers to the spare parts catalogs and instructions for use manuals for

the products described. For this reason, it is important to use these documents together.

Use the maintenance plans (check list) as a template for making copies. Retain completed maintenance plans

and provide the customer with a copy.

2 Safety

For all maintenance and repair works, there are a few points you should always observe:

Use appropriate tools (refer to pages 3 & 4).

Wear appropriate clothing, including gloves and safety glasses, if necessary.

Secure the product to prevent it from tipping over or falling off the workbench.

Read the service and maintenance instructions before starting.

Familiarize yourself with the functions of the product. If you are not familiar with the product, read

the instructions for use manual before inspecting the product.

If you do not have an instructions for use manual, you can order one from the manufacturer (see

the overview of all Otto Bock Branches "Otto Bock Worldwide").

Alternatively, you can download documents from our home page at www.ottobock.de or

www.ottobock.com.

Clean or disinfect the product before starting inspection. See the instructions for use manual for

care instructions or specific product inspection information.

Many of the screw fastenings use thread lock or nylock nuts. If you have to undo such screw

fastenings, replace the nut or screw with a new thread lock and/or nut. If new screws or nuts

with thread lock are not available, use a medium-strength liquid thread lock substance (such as

Loctite 241 or Euro Lock A24.20).
