These service instructions describe all regular maintenance tasks as well as repair and replace- ment tasks for the C1000 DS power wheelchair from Otto Bock. They include all information required by authorised personnel in order to correct functional and mechanical defects on com- ponents of the power wheelchair.
Risk of damage due to overloading / excessive strain. The maximum load capacity for the standard version of the C1000 DS power wheelchair is 140 kg. It is possible to have the power wheelchair ret- rofitted for a maximum load capacity of 200 kg. If the power wheelchair is equipped with a seat height adjustment unit, the maximum load capacity is 130 kg, optional 200 kg.
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.
Page 10
• If creep speed is not automatically activated when the seat height adjustment function is operated, an error has occurred. Any such errors must be promptly corrected by personnel authorised and trained by Otto Bock. The power wheelchair may only be used with the seat in its lowest position until the problem is corrected.
Risk of injury while working on the battery. • Only use a battery charger supplied by Otto Bock which has been tested and approved for the re- spective batteries by Otto Bock (observe information on the charger). Failure to do so can result in a battery explosion and possible impairment of health due to contact with battery acid.
Page 12
CAUTION Risk of injury due to uncontrolled movements. The fuse must always be removed for any mainte- nance work where the battery cover is open. CAUTION Risk of injury during tasks that involve lifting. The weight of a battery is approximately 20 kg. Use hoisting devices of sufficient capacity to remove or install the batteries or carry out these tasks with the aid of an assistant.

8.3.1 Wiring the seat module The illustration below shows how to wire the seat module. The battery connector either has to be connected to the bus (using a 2-pin bridge, see Figure 75-1) or directly to the battery (using the 4-pin plug, see Figure 75-2). If the seat module is connected directly to the battery, you may also use the battery to supply higher loads.
8.3.2 Electrical specifications Power supply: 16 – 33 V Operating voltage 12 A Power supply via bus 18 A Power supply direct from the battery (continuous) 24 A Power supply direct from the battery (3 seconds) 4 mA Standby current (typical) Table 5 Power supply A 2-pin bridge between poles 1 and 5 of the battery connector is required for the power supply...
8.4 Programming device The enAble50 control unit is programmable, e.g. the settings for the various programmable pa- rameters can be set using a programming device. Two programming devices are available: A handheld programming device and a PC programming station (PCPS). The PCPS has additional functions not offered by the handheld programming device.

3. Connect the bus plug of the handheld programming device to an open bus receptacle (e.g. on the underside of the display module). Operation: a) Display The interface is displayed using a so-called “menu tree”. The displayed menu tree range may consist of up to 7 lines.
Always test the driving characteristics of the power wheelchair after configuration / programming is complete. Programming must only be completed by authorised personnel. Neither Otto Bock nor the control unit manufacturer are liable for damages (especially in combination with special controls) caused by pro- gramming that was not properly / professionally adapted to the abilities of the wheelchair user.
