3.2 Storage
If B500/B500-S power wheelchair is not moved for several days, permanent colour changes may oc-
cur where the wheelchair comes into contact with the surface it is standing on. This is why Otto Bock
recommends storage on a suitable surface during extended periods of disuse.
The B500/B500-S power wheelchair must be stored in an enclosed room. Remove the main fuse;
otherwise, there is a risk of deep discharge.
The storage location must be dry and have sufcient air circulation. There must not be any build-up
of humidity. The B500/B500-S power wheelchair must not be subjected to any damaging exterior
inuences, e.g. rain, snow or strong solar radiation during storage.
Otto Bock recommends storing the
B500/B500-S
power wheelchair with slightly elevated tyre
pressure and to use assembly stands or wooden blocks in order to raise the tyres (completely)
off the ground in order to protect them from frost. Regularly rotating the wheels helps to prevent
at spots.
