Safety requirements for operation

WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to defective safety
functions. The user is obligated to ensure that the sports
wheelchair and its safety functions are in safe and proper
condition before every use.
The sports 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 lead to changes in driving characteristics. In partic-
ular, changes to the speed, acceleration, braking or
joystick settings can lead to unexpected and therefore un-
controllable operating performance with a risk of acci-
dents. Always test the driving characteristics of the sports
wheelchair after configuration / programming is complete.
Programming must only be completed by authorised per-
sonnel. Neither Ottobock nor the control unit manufacturer
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 func-
tionality when the brake is disengaged. Note the lack of
brake functionality when the brake is disengaged, espe-
cially when moving the sports wheelchair on slopes.
