Safety Requirements For Service And Maintenance Tasks - Otto Bock C2000 Service Instructions Manual

CAUTION
Risk of health impairment due to the use of improper work clothing. Ensure legally prescribed pro-
tective work clothing is worn.
CAUTION
Risk of injury during tasks that involve lifting. When repair and maintenance tasks must be completed
under raised parts or equipment, ensure suitable precautions are taken to secure the applicable com-
ponents against falling. Equipment used to raise loads must prevent the load from accidentally shifting
in a dangerous manner, dropping in free fall or being accidentally released.
When using lifting platforms, ensure that the power wheelchair is centred on the platform and no parts
project into the danger area.
CAUTION
Risk due to hazardous materials. Hazardous materials may only be kept at the place of work in the
quantities required for ongoing tasks. Regularly and safely remove waste and residue. Clean up spilled
substances immediately.
2.4 Safety Requirements for Service and Maintenance Tasks
WARNING
Risk of pinching or crushing in the electric seat adjustment range. When activating the fixture to
adjust the seat height, back angle and seat tilt, there are pinch and shear points in the area between
the seat frame and wheelchair frame due to the construction. Inform all attendants about this. In order
to prevent injuries, ensure that body parts such as the hands and feet are always kept out of the dan-
ger zone, that no interfering objects such as clothing or obstacles are in the danger zone and that no
unauthorised persons are present there.
WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to loosening plug and screw connections. Screw and plug con-
nections must be loosened for all adjustment work and when folding the back rest for transportation.
This can cause uncontrolled movements of wheelchair components. Especially the backrest can fold
to the front or rear when removing the cotter pin (double spring cotter) from the backrest. To avoid in-
juries at pinch and shear points, carry out such tasks with the support of another person. Make sure
to always keep parts of the body (e. g. hands or head) out of the danger zone.
WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to improper use of the seat height adjustment function.
• The seat height adjustment function may only be used on a level surface.
• When using the seat height adjustment function, no unauthorised persons may be present in the
danger zone.
• There must not be any interfering objects or obstacles in the adjustment range.
• All attendants must be informed that there are pinch points caused by the construction in the area
between the seat frame and wheelchair frame.
• Users and attendants must not reach into the danger area.
