1.2 Intended Use
The B600 power wheelchair is intended exclusively for indi-
vidual indoor and outdoor self-transportation by persons
with walking impediments or walking inabilities. The power
wheelchair may only be combined with the options men-
tioned in these instructions for use and vice versa. Otto
Bock assumes no liability for combinations with medical de-
vices and/or accessories from other manufacturers outside
of the modular system. An option for the B600 is to have it
controlled by an attendant with the use of an attendant con-
trol.
Any other use is considered improper use. The manufacturer
is not liable for any personal injury or damage to property
resulting from improper use; in such cases, the user has
sole liability.
The B600 may only be used by properly trained persons.
Training in the use of the power wheelchair is required to
protect persons from danger and to ensure that the B600 is
operated safely and correctly.
Safe operation of the B600 can only be assured if it is used
for the intended purpose in accordance with the information
in these instructions for use. The user is ultimately responsi-
ble for accident-free operation.
