Assembly
CAUTION
Risk of accidents due to unsecured screw connections.
When screw connection with thread locks are loosened,
they must be replaced with new thread locks or secured
with a medium-strength liquid thread lock substance (e.g.
EuroLock A24.20).
After the power wheelchair has been adjusted or readjust-
ed, the attachment screws and/or nuts must be re-tight-
ened firmly. Observe any torque settings which may be
specified.
CAUTION
Risk of tipping due to an incorrectly mounted anti-tipper.
To ensure safe driving operation, the anti-tipper must be
mounted correctly and must be in good condition.

Prior to using the power wheelchair, all necessary mechan-
ical adaptations and software settings (e.g. programming
the control unit) required according to the individual re-
quirements and abilities of the user must be completed.
The adjustments may only be made by personnel who have
been authorised and trained by Ottobock.

Safety requirements for operation

WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to defective safety func-
tions. The attendant is obligated to ensure that the power
wheelchair and its safety functions are in safe and proper
condition before every use.
The power wheelchair may only be operated if all safety func-
tions such as the automatic wheel locks are functional. Wheel
lock 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 can lead to changes in driving characteristics. In
particular, 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 power
wheelchair after configuration / programming is complete.
Programming may only be performed by authorised,
