Safety
CAUTION
Risk of accidents due to uncontrolled driving character-
istics. Malfunctions caused by electromagnetic fields can
occur during the operation of the power wheelchair. The
following particularities must be observed during operation:
n The driving characteristics of the power wheelchair can
be affected by electromagnetic fields (mobile phones or
other radiating devices). Switch off all mobile devices
when driving.
n The power wheelchair can generate electromagnetic
fields that can cause interference with other devices.
Switch off the controls whenever you do not need them.
n The power wheelchair has been tested according to
EMC regulations.

CAUTION
Risk of accidents due to bad tyres. Visually inspect the
tyres for sufficient tread depth and correct pressure before
each use.
Whenever possible, avoid parking the wheelchair outdoors
and in direct sunlight (UV light), as it causes the tyres to age
prematurely. As a result, the tread surface hardens and
corner pieces break out of the tread. Otto Bock recommends
to replace the tyres every 2 years regardless of wear and
tear.
When the wheelchair is not used for extended periods of
time or if the tyres are heated strongly (e. g. near radiators
or by sunlight shining through a window), permanent defor-
mation of the tyres will result. Therefore always make sure
that the C2000 power wheelchair has sufficient distance
from sources of heat, move your wheelchair from time to
time or jack up the wheelchair when storing it.
CAUTION
Risk of accident due to improper clothing. Otto Bock
advises users to wear light-coloured clothing or clothing with
reflectors during hours of darkness.
