2.5 Safety Requirements for Operation
WARNING
Risk of accident and injury as a result of incorrect safe-
ty functions. The user is obliged to make sure that the po-
wer wheelchair and its safety functions are in safe and
proper condition every time before using it.
The power wheelchair may only be operated if all safety
functions, e.g. the automatic brakes, are functional. Brake
failure can result in serious accidents with fatal injuries.
WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to incorrect configura-
tion settings. Modified parameter settings in the configu-
ration can lead to changes in driving characteristics. In
particular, changes to the speed, acceleration, braking or
joystick settings can lead to unexpected and therefore un-
controllable operating performance with a risk of acci-
dents. Always test the driving characteristics of the power
wheelchair after configuration / programming is complete.
Programming must only be completed by authorised per-
sonnel. Neither Ottobock nor the control unit manufacturer
are liable for damages caused by programming that was
not properly / professionally adapted to the abilities of the
wheelchair user.
