DESCRIPTION
The SERENYS wheelchair has an aluminium frame, with the frame of the backrest, armrests, knee
protectors and footrest plates being made from highly resistant ABS plastic.
The Serenys can be operated by a helper but also by the user. It is a highly comfortable wheelchair
designed for people who stay in their wheelchair for long periods of time and can be fully adjusted to each
person’s position when in movement or at rest.
The angle of the seat and backrest on the Serenys can be adjusted using a pneumatic cylinder, with it
being possible to adjust the angle of the backrest independently of the seat. The Serenys is available in
three seat sizes, 390 mm, 450 mm, 510 mm, with adjustable seat depths of 430 mm to 480 mm and three
seat heights (ground / seat) of 430 mm to 520 mm.

ADJUSTING THE HEADREST
The headrest can be set in different positions by means of toothed gearwheels (see diagram).
Pic. 10
L
Don’t forget to lock the headrest using the fixing screw at least around 60 mm above the end of
the lower tube to ensure it is secure.
You can now set the height using the adjusting screw found on the headrest, slightly loosening the
adjusting screws until the gears turn. Only adjust the headrest in accordance with your requirements and
secure its position by tightening the adjusting screws. Repeat the procedure, if the resulting position is not
satisfactory.
L
L
Check that the back of your head is supported by the headrest when sitting in a relaxed upright
position.
Before using the headrest, all fixing screws must be tightened properly, otherwise unintentional
sagging or movement of the headrest might cause injury.
If you want to secure your head laterally, gently press the side flaps of the headrest together and forward
until they fit the dimensions of your head; this will prevent your head from tipping sideways.
L
When leaning your head against the side flaps ensure that too much pressure is not placed on
them as this can cause damage.
ADJUSTING ANGLE OF SEAT AND BACKREST USING THE PNEUMATIC JACK
You can simultaneously tilt the seat and backrest towards the front or rear or just the backrest on its own.
1. Tilting the seat and backrest.
Pull up the left release lever located under the helper’s pushing handle to the desired
position and release it to lock the pneumatic jack. Possible seat angle: -2° to +15°.
2. Tilting the backrest.
Pull up the right release lever under the helper’s pushing handle to the desired position
and release it to lock the pneumatic jack. Possible backseat angle: –5° to +50°.

TREATMENT TABLE (B12 – B13 – B115)
We offer a wooden treatment table made. The table is removable and be flipped to the side.
l
Make sure when assembling that the cover and the cushion are not damaged.
TRANSPORTING THE WHEELCHAIR
Note the following before transporting the wheelchair:
TRANSPORTING WITHOUT A PATIENT
Since the multi-function wheelchair cannot be folded, at least two persons are required for its
transportation.
By operating the relevant levers, set the seat in a horizontal position and the backrest vertically. Then
remove the leg supports. The head-resting systems can be removed completely by loosening the fixing
screws. Please remove the leg supports and the armrests (look in the respective sections of this manual).
The wheelchair can now be lifted and transported.
l
l
Never pick the wheelchair up by grasping the wheels, but only by taking hold of solid frame parts
(undercarriage) in the front and at the back.
When assembling, make sure that all screws are retightened properly.
TRANSPORTING WITH A PATIENT
If you want to be taken upstairs or downstairs, remove the anti-tipping wheels which would normally act
for your protection, but would now prevent the driving wheels from rolling on the stairs.
l
l
Lifting the wheelchair while the patient is seated in the wheelchair is forbidden !
Transporting a patient over steps/stairs is to be done with at least two attendants.
Next make sure that the pushing handles are sufficiently tight and remove the leg supports. Slightly tilt the
wheelchair backwards. The wheelchair can then be pushed forwards step by step using the driving
wheels. A second person is required to secure the wheelchair in front by taking hold of the front of the
frame after removing the leg supports. He then walks backwards.
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
Note that, when the footrests have been removed, the legs of the patient are not secured; danger
of injury !!
When being transported, you should be protected by suitable safety belt systems (information
obtainable from your specialist dealer).
When being transported, sit quietly in your wheelchair and avoid jerky movements.
If you cannot sit quietly when being transported because of illness or disability (e.g. slightly
spastic, etc.), then at least two persons are required to secure the wheelchair on both sides by
taking hold of fixed parts of the frame.
If the anti-tipping device is removed, you are not protected against tipping over backwards.
When being transported, make sure that your arms and legs do not protrude outside the
wheelchair.
When being transported, no persons or objects should be below the wheelchair, to prevent
personal injury or damage to the wheelchair.
For transporting in cars, we recommend that you use the existing seats with their seatbelt
systems. The use of the multi-functional wheelchair as a seat in a motorised vehicle is not
allowed.
USING RAMPS
If you are considering the installation of ramps to overcome obstacles, kindly note the following:
Because of the large weight of the wheelchair we advise against using your own power for driving on a
ramp, since it might not be possible for you to prevent the wheelchair from rolling backwards.
Never go up or down ramps without the aid of a helper.

FOR YOUR SAFETY
Take note of the following safety hints:
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
Note the correct way of handling the tyre grips: Place your open hand lightly on the tyre grip and
touch it only with thumb and index finger. The other fingers should be closed like a fist, and
should not touch the tyre grip.
To prevent injury and/or damage to your wheelchair, make sure that no objects and/or body parts
are caught in the spokes of the driving wheels.
Do not step on the footplates when entering or leaving the wheelchair. The footplates must be
folded up beforehand, or the leg supports should be swung outwards out of the way.
You should investigate the effects of shifting the centre of gravity on the behaviour of the
wheelchair for example on gradients, on laterally sloping ground, or when overcoming obstacles,
only when a helper is present to secure and support you.
When picking up objects lying in front of, next to, or behind the wheelchair, take care that you do
not lean too far out because of the danger of tipping over, since the centre of gravity has moved.
Take care during all adjusting functions that no objects or body parts come into the area of the
adjustment as there is the risk of squashing.
Only use your wheelchair according to regulations. For example, avoid uncontrolled rolls against
an obstacle (step, edge of the kerb) or jumping down from a landing or a ledge.
Stairs may only be negotiated when aided by another person. If alternatives like ramps or lifts are
available, use them.
Check that the profile depth of the tyres is adequate.
Please note that when travelling in public street traffic you are subject to the rules of the road;
therefore adapt your riding behaviour to the weather and road conditions present.
As in the case of driving other vehicles you should not be under the influence of alcohol or
medical drugs when riding in your wheelchair. This also applies to indoor driving.
For the purpose of improved visibility you should wear the brightest possible clothes when it is
dark, or clothes with reflectors.
Be careful when using possible causes of fire such as cigarettes since they may damage or set
the seat and back covers alight.
To avoid hand injury, do not push your hand between the driving wheel and the knee lever brake
when propelling your wheelchair.
Never exceed the maximum load (120 kg).
When riding outdoors, wear gloves which improve your grip on the tyre grips and protect your
fingers against dirt and heating.
VERY IMPORTANT
L
Take care when attaching the quick-assembly wheels that the axle is completely and properly
engaged. To this end, press on the button in the middle of the wheel axle and guide the axle as
far as possible into the socket. Then release the knob and try to pull the wheel back out. The two
bearings on the ends of the axle should lock the wheel and prevent it springing back out of the
seating.
REGULAR CHECKS
Your multi-function wheelchair also requires servicing like any other technical product. The steps to be
taken to fully enjoy the advantages of your wheelchair even after protracted use, are described below.
•
BEFORE DRIVING
Check the tyres for visible damage and/or soiling. Remove any dirt since it could impair the
functioning of the parking brakes. Before driving off, check the efficiency of the parking brakes. If it
12
SERENYS
2012-03
does not function properly, please consult your specialist dealer. Check the tyre pressure and inflate
them if necessary.
•
APPROX. EVERY 8 WEEKS
Depending on the frequency of use lubricate the following parts lightly:
Movable parts of the arm rest mechanism
Bearings of the brake levers
Movable parts of the footrests
•
APPROX. EVERY 6 MONTHS
Depending on the frequency of use check the following:
Cleanliness
General condition
Function of the steering wheels (If the rotation resistance is too great, clean the bearings
of the steering castors. If this is insufficient, please consult your specialist dealer.)
l
l
Only authorised individuals are entitled to perform measures for exchanging components or
making repairs/renovations. Kindly contact your specialist dealer.
Use only original replacement parts, which are available from the manufacturer via your dealer.
INSPECTION
In principle we recommend one inspection every twelve months, and a minimum of one before usage is
resumed. All of the following checks must be performed and documented by authorized persons:
• Check the frame parts for three-dimensional deformation and reduced functioning.
• Visually check for damage to the paintwork (risk of corrosion)
• Check the operation of the wheels (free running, level rolling, axle play, tyres, profile, condition of the
rims, air pressure (in the case of pneumatic tyres), floating axles, etc.)
• Check the solidity and seating of all screws
• Verify the amount of grease on the metal joints of moveable parts
• Visually check all plastic parts for tears and brittle spots
• Check the functioning of the armrests and leg supports (locking, loading, deformation, wear and tear
due to loading, adjustment levers)
• Check the functioning of the gas pressure springs and rope pulls (kinks, foreign bodies), levers and
adjusting screws. If necessary, adjust the rope pulls using the adjusting screws.
• Check the functioning of the removable parts (e.g. tip protector, headrest, safety belt, accessory)
• Verify completeness of the delivery condition
• Is the instruction manual available?
Have the service confirmed in the service plan only when at least the above-mentioned aspects have
been checked. If your specialist dealer is incapable of performing the required services, please contact
the manufacturer. We shall gladly refer you to authorized specialist dealers in your area.
l
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by the lack of or improper inspection.
CARE
Your multi-function wheelchair requires regular care if you want it to be visually attractive also. Please
take note of the following hints:
• COVERS
Clean the covers with a cloth moistened with hot water. You may remove stubborn dirt by taking off the
cover and washing it with a mild commercial detergent. Stains can be removed by using a sponge or a
soft brush. Do not use any sharp-edged objects for cleaning SOFT covers.
l
l
Do not use strong cleaning liquids like solvents, nor use hard brushes.
We shall decline all liability for damage caused by the use of inappropriate cleaning agents.
• PLASTIC PARTS
Clean all plastic parts of your wheelchair with commercial plastic cleaners. Please comply with special
product information.
13
SERENYS
2012-03
• SURFACE LAYERS
The high quality of the surface layer guarantees optimal protection against corrosion. If the outer layer
has been scratched or otherwise damaged, you can protect the area by applying varnish obtainable from
your specialist dealer. Occasional greasing of the movable parts will ensure that you enjoy your
wheelchair for a long time.
Initially the chrome parts only require rubbing with a dry cloth. Dull spots or stubborn dirt can best be
removed by using a suitable commercial chrome polish. If steel parts are lightly greased with Vaseline,
premature dulling of the chrome can be avoided.
To guarantee the long-term preservation of your wheelchair, we recommend that you take it once a year
to your specialist dealer for inspection. These inspections can be signed off in the "Service plan" section.
l
l
The manufacturer shall decline liability for damage/injury caused by insufficient maintenance.
The use of steam or high-pressure cleaning is forbidden.
DISINFECTION
Only a hygiene technician or someone appointed by him can disinfect your wheelchair and this should be
done every time before its use is resumed or it is turned over to third party. All parts of the wheelchair can
be treated by scrubbing with a disinfectant. In principle all surfaces of a system or a product have to be
disinfected before passing it on to another user, or when it is known that the user carries an infective
vector. In these cases the measures of the federal law on epidemics have to be considered.
We recommend the following disinfectants for scrubbing (based on the list provided by the Robert Koch Institute, RKI):
