functions. Theuserisobligedtomakesurethatthepower
wheelchairanditssafetyfunctionsareinsafeandproper
conditioneverytimebeforeusingit.
Thepowerwheelchairmayonlybeoperatedifallsafety
functions,e.g.theautomaticbrakes,arefunctional.Brake
failurecanresultinseriousaccidentswithfatalinjuries.
WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to incorrect configura-
tion settings. Modiedparametersettingsinthecongu-
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
uncontrollableoperatingperformancewithariskofacci-
dents.
Alwaystestthedrivingcharacteristicsofthepowerwheel-
chairafterconguration/programmingiscomplete.
Programmingmustonlybecompletedbyauthorisedper-
sonnel.NeitherOttobocknorthecontrolunitmanufacturer
are liable for damages caused by programming that
wasnotproperly/professionallyadaptedtotheabilities
ofthewheelchairuser.
WARNING
Risk of accident and injury if brake function is unavail-
able or unlocked. Take into account the missing brake
functionduringunlockedbrakeespeciallywhendrivingon
slopesorinclines.
WARNING
Risk of injury if the power wheelchair tips over during
driving. TheB400hasbeenapprovedfordrivingoninclines
andslopesofnomorethan7° (12 %).Navigatinginclines
abovethispercentagevalueisnotpermitted.
ThecriticalobstacleheightoftheB400is50 mm.Itisnot
permittedtocrossobstacleshigherthan50 mm.
Operatingthepowerwheelchaironstairsisnotpermitted.
WARNING
Risk of accident if the power wheelchair tips over dur-
ing driving. Reducethedrivingspeedwhendrivingdown-
hill(e.g.setittospeedlevel1).Whendrivingoninclinesor
slopes,itisnotpermissibletonegotiateobstacles.Avoid
gettinginto and outof the powerwheelchair on inclines
andslopes.

Beforedrivingup slopesorover obstacles, atilted seat
mustbeloweredtoitsbasicpositionandthebackmust
beintheuprightposition.Itisadvisabletosligthlytiltthe
seattotherearwhendrivingdownhill.
Drivingoverobstaclessuchasstepsorcurbsisonlyal-
lowedatreducedspeed(max.3km/h).Alwaysapproach
obstacles at a right angle and cross over them without
stopping.
WARNING
Risk of tippping over when driving on inadequate sur-
face. Usingthepowerwheelchaironveryslipperyground
(suchasicysurfaces)oronverycoarse-grainedsurfaces
(gravelorpebbles)isnotpermitted.
WARNING
Risk of tipping when using lifting platforms. During
transportonliftingplatformsorinlifts,thewheelchaircon-
trolsmustbeswitchedoff.Lockthebrake.
WARNING
Risk of tipping due to centre of gravity shifting. Getting
toknowhowthepowerwheelchairreactswhenthecentre
ofgravityshifts,forexample,onslopesorinclinesorwhen
clearing obstacles like steps and curbs should be done
onlywithassistancefromanotherpersonbeforeusingthe
wheelchairforthefirsttime.
WARNING
Risk of accident and injury as a result of lifting the
wheelchair incorrectly. Attendants must lift the wheel-
chaironlybypartsthatarefirmlyattachedandnotbythe
footrestsorarmrests.
CAUTION
Risk of accident when driving without experience. Driv-
ingwithoutexperiencecanleadtofallsandotherdanger-
ous situations. Familiarize yourself with the new wheel-
chairbypractisingoneven,straightforwardterrainfirst.
CAUTION
Risk of accident due to uncontrolled driving behaviour.
Uncontrolledmovementscanoccurduringtheoperation
ofthepowerwheelchairasaresultofmalfunction.Inthis
case,pleasecontactyourauthoriseddealerimmediately.
If any faults, defects or other dangers that can lead to
personalinjuryaredetected,thepowerwheelchairmust
beputoutofoperationimmediately.

B400
CAUTION
Risk of accident and injury as a result of incorrect get-
ting into and out of the power wheelchair. Switchoffthe
wheelchaircontrolbeforegettingintoandoutofthepower
wheelchair.Thefootrestsandarmrestsarenotcapableof
bearingfullbodyweight,andthereforemustnotbeused
forgettingintooroutofthewheelchair.
CAUTION
Risk of accident and injury if the wheelchair starts roll-
ing. Releasingthebrakemayresultinuncontrolledrolling
ofthepowerwheelchair.Makesurethatthebrakeisen-
gagedafterparkingthepowerwheelchair.
CAUTION
Risk of accident due to improper clothing. Ottobock
advisesusers towear light-coloured clothingor clothing
withreectorsduringhoursofdarkness.
CAUTION
Risk of accident as a result of bad tyres. Checkvisually
beforeeveryusethatthetreaddepthissufficientandthat
thetyresareinflatedtothecorrecttyrepressure.
Whenever possible, avoid parking the wheelchair out-
doors and on 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.
Ottobock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radia-
torsorbysunlightshiningthroughawindow),permanent
deformationofthetyreswillresult.Thereforealwaysmake
sure that the wheelchair has sufficient distance from
sourcesofheat,moveyourwheelchairfromtimetotime,
orjackupthewheelchairwhenstoringit.
NOTICE
Risk of tyre damage. Too high an air pressure in your
tyresmayresultintyredefect.Pleaseobservethedatain
Section“TechnicalData”.Themaximumairpressuremust
notbeexceeded.
NOTICE
Damage due to exposure to extreme temperatures.
TheB400may be usedwithinatemperature rangeof
-25 °C to +50 °C. It must not be operated outside this
