Safety Requirements For Care, Maintenance And Disposal - Otto Bock Skippi Plus Instructions For Use Manual

Safety
INFORMATION
Manoeuvring is only allowed at reduced speeds.
INFORMATION
During use of the power wheelchair, electric discharges
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. The re-
sulting discomfort can be prevented by customisation
measures (attaching a mechanical discharge contact /
grounding strap to the wheelchair frame). The user's envi-
ronment must be taken into consideration.
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.
