Safety Requirements for Operation

WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to defective safety
functions. The user is obligated to ensure that the power
wheelchair and its safety functions are in safe and proper
condition before every use.
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
uncontrollable operating performance with a risk of acci-
dents.
Always test the driving characteristics of the power wheel-
chair after configuration / programming is complete.
Programming must only be completed by authorised per-
sonnel. Neither Otto Bock nor the control unit manufac-
turer 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
functionality when the brake is disengaged. Note the
lack of brake functionality when the brake is disengaged,
especially when operating the power wheelchair on
slopes.
