Operation
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to tipping during operation. Observe
the following safety information when operating the power
wheelchair:
n Operation of the wheelchair is limited to inclines up to
a maximum of 17 %.
n When driving downhill, reduce speed in accordance
with the degree of the incline.
n Do not cross obstacles higher than 10 cm.
n Do not cross steps or curbs without reducing speed.
n Driving backwards should be limited to manoeuvring
or short distances on level ground.
INFORMATION
The control unit of the power wheelchair switches to a
safe mode at elevated temperatures and after driving
uphill for extended periods of time, limiting the perfor-
mance of the power wheelchair. However, the user is able
to drive the power wheelchair out of a hazardous situati-
on at any time. Once the excessive temperature has been
alleviated (this may take several minutes depending on
the ambient temperature), the power wheelchair is once
again fully functional.

The C1000 DS power wheelchair has been approved for
ascending or descending inclines of up to a maximum of
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 10
cm. Crossing obstacles higher than 10 cm 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
