Otto Bock C1000 DS Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 170

Operation
The power wheelchair has been approved for ascending or
descending inclines of up to a maximum of 9,5° (17 %).
Driving on steeper inclines or slopes is not permitted.
In order to navigate downhill grades safely, the speed must
be reduced according to the slope (e.g. select speed level 1).
The critical obstacle height of the power wheelchair is
100 mm. Crossing obstacles higher than 100 mm is not
permitted. Obstacles such as steps or low curbs must be
crossed at reduced speeds.
If there are obstacles in the travel path, it is important to
drive around them with a large margin of safety. On uneven
ground, the driving characteristics of the wheelchair may
get out of control. Therefore the speed must always be
adapted to the ground conditions.
The battery indicator and speed level are shown in the driv-
ing menu on the LCD monitor.
Use the joystick for driving. The further the joystick is moved
away from the centre position, the faster the power wheel-
chair will drive in this direction.
The maximum speed with full deflection of the joystick de-
pends on the selected speed level. Releasing the joystick
automatically activates the brake function, which brings the

wheelchair to a halt. When standing still, the mechanical
wheel locks are automatically active so the power wheel-
chair cannot roll.
The power wheelchair has a programmable number of
speed levels (delivery condition = 5 speed levels). Use the
"M" button to increase the speed level. After reaching the
maximum speed level, the control unit switches back to
speed level 1.
Adapting the operating performance
WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to incorrect configura-
tion settings. Modified parameter settings in the configura-
tion can lead to changes in driving characteristics. In par-
ticular, changes to the speed, acceleration, braking or joy-
stick settings can lead to unexpected and therefore uncon-
trollable operating performance with a risk of accidents.
Always test the driving characteristics of the power wheel-
chair after configuration / programming is complete. Pro-
gramming must only be completed by authorised person-
nel. Neither Ottobock nor the control unit manufacturer are
liable for damages (especially in combination with special
controls) caused by programming that was not properly /
