Safety Requirements For Care, Maintenance And Disposal - Ottobock C1000 DS Gebrauchsanweisung

Safety instructions
INFORMATION
The control unit of the power wheelchair must be reacti-
vated after an emergency stop. In the event of communica-
tion problems in the bus system of the control unit, the
system triggers an emergency stop and thus prevents any
uncontrolled functions. If the driving function is still not
available after reactivating the controls, the brake must be
released to switch over to pushing mode. In this case, con-
tact a specialist dealer as soon as possible.
INFORMATION
If the control unit does not emit an error signal as soon as
the brake lever is activated, this indicates a malfunction.
The settings must be checked by a specialist dealer.
INFORMATION
Manoeuvring is only allowed at reduced speeds.
INFORMATION
During the use of the power wheelchair, electrical dis-
charges may occur which are caused by factors such as
friction (high voltage with low current; discharge via the
user). However, these do not represent a health hazard.

This reduction in comfort – under consideration of the envi-
ronmental conditions the user is exposed to – can be elimi-
nated by custom fabrication measures (installing a mechani-
cal discharge contact / ground strap to the wheelchair
frame).
Electrostatic discharge may also occur if the power wheel-
chair is equipped with puncture-proof tyres. Retrofitting the
wheelchair with pneumatic tyres can correct this problem.
2.6 Safety requirements for care, maintenance
and disposal
CAUTION
Risk of accidents and injury due to improper mainte-
nance, repairs or adjustments. Maintenance work on the
power wheelchair may only be completed by personnel
authorised and trained by Ottobock. This also applies to
all repairs and settings on the brake. Incorrect settings can
lead to a loss of braking power.
