Otto Bock B400 - 2.6 Safety Requirements for Care, Maintenance and Disposal

06/2011 B400Page 84
Safety
INFORMATION
If the driving mode is changed while driving, the power
wheelchair will accelerate or decelerate.
INFORMATION
The controls of the power wheelchair are protected ac-
cording to protective system IP 54 and can thus be used
in bad weather (e. g. rain). The controls are approved for
indoor and outdoor operation and meet the requirements
regarding environment and splashed water.
INFORMATION
After each emergency stop, the controls of the power
wheelchair must be turned on again. In the event of com-
munication problems in the bus system of the controls, the
system triggers an emergency stop and thus prevents any
uncontrolled functions. If the driving function is still not
available after switching the controls on again, unlock the
brakes to activate the push mode. In this case, contact a
specialist dealer as soon as possible.
INFORMATION
If the controls do not emit an error signal as soon as the
brake lever is activated, this indicates a malfunction. The
settings must be checked by a specialist dealer.
INFORMATION
Manoeuvring is only allowed at reduced speeds.
