ried out by the manufacturer documented.

26 Disposal and recycling
At the end of the service life, the product can
be disposed of by PRO ACTIV or your rehabili-
tation specialist dealer in a proper, environ-
mentally-friendly manner.
The disposal or recycling must be carried out
by a waste disposal company or a municipal
waste disposal centre.
Special guidelines may apply on-location with
regard to the disposal or recycling. These must
be clarified and considered when disposing
(this may also include the cleaning or disinfec-
tion of the product before the disposal). In ad-
dition, the special provisions of the local regu-
lations regarding the disposal of the drive sys-
tem and the rechargeable batteries must be
observed.
In the following text, you will find a description
of the materials for the disposal and recycling
of the product and its packaging:
Aluminium:
Frame, rim
Steel:
Fastening points, screws, nuts
Plastic:

Packaging
According to the WEEE Directive,
electric and electronic devices
must be disposed of in govern-
ment-designated recycling facilities
separate from general residual waste. Proper
disposal serves to prevent possible environ-
mental and health damage. These guidelines
are applicable only to devices that are installed
or operated in the EU. Regulations may differ
outside of the European Union.
27 Re-use
If your product has been provided to you by
your funding provider and you no longer re-
quire it, you should report this fact to your
health insurance company or your rehabilita-
tion specialist dealer. Your product can then be
simply and economically re-used.
Prior to each re-use, a technical safety check
must be carried out on the product at
PRO ACTIV or the rehabilitation specialist
dealer. In addition to the instructions contained
in chapter 24 (Cleaning and care), a thorough
cleaning of the grips, all control elements as
well as the rechargeable battery housing must
be carried out prior to re-use.
Before the product can be reused, it must be
prepared with care. A disinfection agent that is
suitable for medical products must be sprayed
onto all surfaces that the user may come into
contact with. A liquid, alcohol-based disinfect-
ant for residue-free, quick disinfection (e.g.
Exporit 4712) must be used for this, and the
respective usage instructions for use of the
disinfectant must be observed.
These preparations will be performed by
PRO ACTIV or the rehabilitation specialist
dealer as part of the technical safety check.
This safety-related check
must
be initiated by
the funding provider.
Moreover, in event of wear or due to adapta-
tion to the new user, components can be ad-
justed or replaced using the modular system.
The angle of the steering column can be ad-
justed and therefore the handlebar position can
be adjusted for the new user.
