11490E75=1_C
Safety

CAUTION
Extreme temperatures
Hypothermia or burns due to contact with components, failure of components
►Do not expose the product to any extreme temperatures (e.g.direct sunlight, sauna, extreme cold).
►Do not leave the product in the immediate vicinity of heaters.
NOTICE
Use under incorrect environmental conditions
Damage to the product due to excessively high or low temperatures
►Only use the product within a temperature range of -15°C to +40°C (5°F to +104°F).
Danger due to neglect of duty to supervise
WARNING
Neglecting the duty to supervise
Risk of suffocation due to small loose parts
►Note that the product includes small parts that can be loosened and removed without tools.
►Ensure that small children, forexample, do not swallow them.
4.3 Side effects
The following side effects may occur during use of the product:
• Neck, muscle and joint pain
• Circulatory disorders, risk of pressure sores
Contact a doctor or therapist in case of problems.
4.4 Effects of electromagnetic interference on the product and on the user
CAUTION
Use of mobile devices with electromagnetic emissions (e.g., mobile phones)
Falling, collision with persons or objects due to interference with the control signals
►Turn all mobile devices off while driving, since the driving characteristics of the product are affected by elec
tromagnetic fields.
►Turn the control unit off when it is not required, since the product may generate electromagnetic fields that
can cause interference with other devices. The product has been tested according to EMC regulations.
►Notwithstanding compliance with all applicable EMC directives and standards, the product can be affected by
interference from other electric devices (e.g., department store EAS systems) or cause interference with such
devices. If this occurs, move your product outside the interference range.
• Powered wheelchairs may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering electro
magnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmit
ters, two-way radios, and cellular phones.
• The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the powered wheelchair to release its brakes, move by
itself, or move in unintended directions.
• It can also permanently damage the powered wheelchairs control system.
• Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one move closer to the transmitting antenna (source),
the EM fields from hand-held radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to uninten
tionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the powered wheelchair's control system while using these
devices. This can affect powered wheelchair movement and braking.
• Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD
players, and cassette players, and small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we
know, are not likely to cause EMI problems to your powered wheelchair.

Please note that retrofitting options further reduces the maximum load capacity (user weight + luggage).
The maximum load capacity (see print on the nameplate; see page13) is thereby respectively reduced by the
weight of the retrofitted options.
5.2.1 Accessories from other manufacturers
As per the order for the power wheelchair, some components from third-party manufacturers have been installed
prior to delivery. Please observe the following instructions in this regard:
• Accessories from other manufacturers must be intended for use on wheelchairs and must fulfil all currently
applicable legal requirements.
• When using the accessories from other manufacturers, the instructions for use / manufacturer’s instructions for
the relevant accessories must be strictly observed. These are included with the instructions for use.
• Ottobock assumes no liability for combinations with medical devices and/or accessories from other manufac
turers outside the Ottobock modular system.
• In case of questions or problems with accessories from other manufacturers, please contact the qualified per
sonnel who adjusted this product.
5.3 Storage
5.3.1 Storage during daily use
The power wheelchair should always be protected against external influences.
The control unit must be turned off.
5.3.2 Storage during extended disuse
NOTICE
Deep discharge
Battery damage due to standby current
►Remove the fuse if the wheelchair is not used for more than 3 days.
Please observe the following if the power wheelchair is not used for more than 3days:
Storage conditions
• Store the power wheelchair in a dry, enclosed room with sufficient air circulation and protection from external
influences. Specific information about storage conditions: see page117.
• Protect the wheels against ground frost, forexample by taking all weight off them using an assembly stand or
by setting them onto wooden blocks.
• Maintain sufficient clearance from sources of heat. If the product is parked for an extended period of time or
the tyres overheat (e.g.in the vicinity of radiators or in case of exposure to strong sunlight behind glass), the
tyres may become permanently deformed.
• Fill pneumatic tyres with slight overpressure.
• Rotate the wheels weekly to prevent flat tyres from extended standing.
• For extended storage, store the power wheelchair so the wheels are not in contact with the ground.
Note regarding the tyres
• If the power wheelchair is not moved for several days, permanent colour changes may develop where it comes
into contact with the ground. A suitable base should therefore be used when parking it for extended periods of
time.
• Black tyres contain carbon black particles. They may leave black friction marks where they come into contact
with the ground. Therefore, the manufacturer recommends grey tyres if the product is primarily used indoors.
• Avoid unnecessary parking outdoors. Direct exposure to sunlight/UV radiation causes the tyres to age more
quickly. As a result, the tread surface hardens and corner pieces break out of the tread.
• The tyres must be changed when the tread is less than 1mm (0.04") to ensure safe driving behaviour.
15490E75=1_C
Delivery

• The tyres should be replaced every 2years regardless of wear and tear.
• When power wheelchairs with PU tyres are parked for longer periods, the tyres may become deformed (flat
spots). This deformation will go away on its own over time while driving.
