or enhance its comfort.
The 'Delivery / Preparing the Mobility Base for Use' section describes how you can adjust the mobility base for
seating shells to your own requirements.

The design, as described in these Instructions for Use, is subject to technical alterations without notice.

2 Intended Use

The Discovery mobility base is designed solely for use with seating systems for people who are unable to walk
or those with limited mobility. It can be moved either by the user or by another person.
The Ottobock warranty applies only when the product is used according to the specified conditions and for
the intended purposes, following all manufacturer's recommendations.
Seating shells and modular seating systems must be used with mobility bases suitable for indoor and/or outdoor
use. Their aim is to provide disabled persons with mobility and for transporting them.
The Discovery mobility base for indoor and outdoor use has been specially developed for the use with
orthopedic seating systems (e.g. seating shells). There are many adjustable settings that allow you to fine tune
the Discovery to meet individual needs.
It must be adjusted to integrate with the seating system you are using by an orthopedic or rehabilitation dealer.
