Safety instructions
CAUTION
Risk of accidents due to uncontrolled driving character-
istics. Interference caused by electromagnetic fields may
occur during the operation of the power wheelchair. The fol-
lowing particularities must be observed during operation:
The driving characteristics of the power wheelchair
can be affected by electromagnetic fields (mobile
phones or other radiating devices). Turn off all mobile
devices when operating the wheelchair.
The power wheelchair can generate electromagnetic
fields that can cause interference with other devices.
Turn off the control unit whenever you do not need it.
The power wheelchair has been tested according to
EMC regulations.
CAUTION
Risk of accidents due to bad tyres. Visually inspect the
tyres for sufficient tread depth and correct pressure before
each use.
Avoid parking outside and in direct sunlight (UV radiation)
since this causes the tyres to age quickly. As a result, the
tread surface hardens and corner pieces break out of the

tread. Ottobock recommends replacing the tyres at least
every 2 years regardless of the amount of wear.
If the wheelchair is parked for an extended period of time
or the tyres overheat (e.g. in the vicinity of radiators or in
case of exposure to strong sunlight behind glass), the tyres
may become permanently deformed. Therefore, sufficient
clearance should always be maintained from sources of
heat and the power wheelchair should be moved frequent-
ly or placed on blocks for storage.
CAUTION
Risk of accidents due to improper clothing. Ottobock
advises users to wear light-coloured clothing or clothing
with reflectors during hours of darkness.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to falling out of the wheelchair. It is
strongly recommended that the user for his/her own safety
always fastens the safety belt. The safety belt helps to sta-
bilise the person sitting in the power wheelchair.
