Ottobock C1000 DS Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 129

Before driving up slopes or over obstacles, a tilted or
raised seat must be lowered to its basic position and the
back be brought into the upright position. Tilting the seat
back slightly is recommended when navigating downhill.
Obstacles such as steps or low curbs may only be crossed
at reduced speed (max. 3 km/h). Always approach obsta-
cles at a right angle and cross over them without stopping.
WARNING
Risk of tipping when driving on unsuitable terrain. Driv-
ing on very smooth areas (e.g. icy surfaces) or extremely
rough terrain (e.g. broken rock or rubble) is not permitted.
WARNING
Risk of tipping when using lifting platforms. Turn off the
control unit of the power wheelchair when using lifting plat-
forms, lifts, buses or trains. Engage the brake.
WARNING
Risk of tipping due to changes in the centre of gravity.
The effects of changes in the centre of gravity on the be-
haviour of the power wheelchair on inclines, side hills or
when crossing obstacles must be tested with the secure
support of an attendant prior to initial use.

WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to incorrect lifting. At-
tendants may only lift the wheelchair by securely mounted
components, but never by the footrests or arm rests.
WARNING
Risk of crushing or pinching in the power seat adjust-
ment and lifting range. When activating the fixture to ad-
just the seat height, back angle and seat tilt, there are
pinch and shear points in the area between the seat frame
and wheelchair frame due to the construction. All attend-
ants must be informed about this. In order to prevent inju-
ries, ensure that body parts such as the hand and feet are
always kept out of the danger zone, that no interfering ob-
jects such as clothing or obstacles are in the danger zone
and that no unauthorised persons are present there.
WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to improper use of the
seat height adjustment function.
n The seat height adjustment function may only be used
on a level surface.
