With the purchase of a lightweight wheelchair of the Start series, you have selected a quality
product for versatile use during everyday life, both indoors and outdoors.
The chapter "Accessories" presents various additional components of the Start wheelchair,
which can expand its field of application and improve comfort for the wheelchair user. The
chapter "Adjustment/Assembly Instructions" provides an overview of the ways the wheelchair
can be customised to your requirements. Technical changes to the design described in these
instructions for use are reserved.

structions for Use and vice versa. Ottobock assumes no liability for combinations with medical
devices and/or accessories from other manufacturers outside of the modular system.
