Safety
WARNING
Risk of injury due to tipping during operation. The B600
has been approved for ascending or descending inclines
up to a maximum of 17 %. Navigating inclines above this
percentage value is not permitted.
The critical obstacle height of the B600 is 5 cm. Crossing
obstacles higher than 5 cm is not permitted.
Navigating stairs is not permitted.
WARNING
Risk of accidents due to tipping during operation. Re-
duce speed when driving downhill (select speed level 1).
Obstacles must not be crossed while ascending or de-
scending inclines. Avoid getting into or out of the wheel-
chair on slopes.
Before driving up slopes or over obstacles, a tilted or
raised seat must be lowered to its basic position and the
back be brought into the upright position. Tilting the seat
back slightly is recommended when navigating downhill.
Obstacles such as steps or curbs may only be crossed 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 unsuitable terrain. Driv-
ing on very smooth areas (e.g. icy surfaces) or extremely
rough terrain (e.g. broken rock or rubble) is not permitted.
WARNING
Risk of tipping when using lifting platforms. Turn off the
controls of the power wheelchair when using lifting plat-
forms, lifts, buses, or trains. Engage the brake.
WARNING
Risk of tipping due to changes in the centre of gravity.
The effects of changes in the centre of gravity on the be-
haviour of the power wheelchair on inclines, side hills, or
when crossing obstacles must be tested with the secure
support of an attendant prior to initial use.
WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to incorrect lifting. At-
tendants may only lift the wheelchair by securely mounted
components, but never by the foot rests or arm rests.
