Programming must only be completed by authorised person-
nel. Neither Otto Bock nor the control unit manufacturer are
liable for damages (especially in combination with special
controls) caused by programming that was not properly /
professionally adapted to the abilities of the wheelchair user.
WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to a lack of brake func-
tionality when the brake is disengaged. Note the lack of
brake functionality when the brake is disengaged, especially
when moving the power wheelchair on slopes.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to tipping during operation. The C2000
power wheelchair has been approved for ascending or
descending inclines of up to 22 % for a short time. Navigating
inclines above this percentage value is not permitted.
The critical obstacle height of the C2000 power wheelchair
is maximally 14 cm (depending on the load and driving
direction). It is not permitted to cross obstacles higher than
14 cm. When driving on inclines or slopes, it is not permis-
sible to negotiate obstacles.
Operating the power wheelchair on stairs is not permitted.
C2000
WARNING
Risk of accidents due to tipping during operation. Reduce
the driving speed when driving downhill (e. g. set it to speed
level 1). When driving on inclines or slopes, it is not permissible
to negotiate obstacles. Avoid getting into and out of the power
wheelchair on inclines and slopes.
Before driving up slopes or over obstacles, a tilted seat must
be lowered to its basic position, the seat height adjustment
must be in its lowest position and the back must be brought
into the upright position. It is advisable to slightly tilt the seat
to the rear when driving downhill.
Driving over obstacles such as steps or curbs is only allowed
at reduced speed (max. 3 km/h). Always approach obstacles
at a right angle and cross over them without stopping.
WARNING
Risk of tipping when driving on inappropriate ground. Driving
on very smooth areas (e. g. icy surfaces) or extremely rough
terrain (e. g. broken rock or rubble) is not permitted.
