General safety instructions
WARNING
Risk of suffocation
Packaging materials must be kept out of reach of children.
WARNING
Use of the wheelchair during service work
Severe injuries if the wheelchair tips over due to loosened components
No person is permitted to be in or on the wheelchair during any service work.
Support the product so it cannot tip over during all service work.
WARNING
Overloading
Severe injuries if the wheelchair tips over due to overloading, damage to the product
Do not exceed the maximum load capacity or the allowable gross weight (see the nameplate and section "Tech-
nical data").
Please note that certain options and add-on components will reduce the remaining load capacity.
We assume no liability if the maximum user weight is exceeded.
Refitting and retrofitting wheelchair components changes the weight of the wheelchair. This can lead to chan-
ges to driving characteristics and increased loads on the drives, the suspensions and other components of the
wheelchair. Before refitting or retrofitting any components, check whether the selected configuration and the
total weight of the wheelchair are permissible. For further information, please contact your national Ottobock
team.

Safety instructions for the use of tools and accessories
CAUTION
Use of unsuitable tools
Pinching, crushing or damaging the product due to use of unsuitable tools
When completing the tasks, only use tools that are suitable for the conditions at the place of work and for which
safety and the protection of health are assured with proper use.
Observe the specifications in the section "Required tools".
CAUTION
Wearing of unsuitable work clothing
Chemical burns due to insufficient protection
Wear suitable work clothing (for example, gloves and protective eyewear) when working on the batteries.
CAUTION
Improper lifting
Crushing, pinching, blows due to failure to observe safety instructions
Some parts of the power wheelchair, such as the batteries, frame, seat, and motors, are very heavy. Ensure
ergonomically correct lifting of these parts. Use sufficiently large hoisting devices or perform this work with a
helper.
If it is necessary to work underneath raised parts or equipment, make sure these are secured by suitable means
so that they cannot come loose, shift, or fall down.
When using lifting platforms or an assembly stand, ensure that the power wheelchair is centred on the sup-
porting surface and that no parts protrude into the danger zone.
