Otto Bock Motus Instructions For Use Manual page 10

Danger caused by fire/heat and cold
CAUTION
Risk of burns when exposed to fire. The seat and back upholstery may catch fire. Keep the
wheelchair away from all sources of ignition, especially lit cigarettes.
CAUTION
Be careful in case of extreme temperatures. The wheelchair can heat up significantly from such
sources as solar radiation or a sauna. Extreme cold can present a risk of hypothermia.
Risk of hand injuries
CAUTION
Risk of hand injuries. To avoid hand injuries, do not reach between the rear wheel and the wheel
lock when driving your wheelchair.
CAUTION
Risk of pinching or crushing between wheelchair components. Depending on adjustment options
employed, the wheel lock lever and the side or frame sections can pinch or crush users' hands.
CAUTION
Risk of friction burns. Slowing down from high speeds or when descending longer slopes tends to
heat up the hands and fingers, especially if using aluminum push rings. When using your wheelchair
outdoors, wear leather gloves. Gloves provide you with a better grip and protect your fingers from
dirt and hot metal.

NOTICE
Damage caused by overload. The maximum load capacity of the Motus adaptive wheelchair is

NOTICE
Damage caused by wear and tear. If the upholstery gets worn or damaged, replace it immediately.
