2 Safety
2.1 Maximum User weight reduction when Puma 20 options are installed on a Puma 40!
In case one of the following Puma 20 options is installed on a Puma 40 carrier, the maximum user weight is reduced to 136 kg:
• Sedeo Lite Seating System (or any Sedeo Lite component)
• Puma 20 motors
• Puma 20 Comfort suspension
• Puma 20 Electrical tilt adjustment (0 - 25º)
2.2 Personnel

2.3 Cautions and warning statements
Safety
Safety information is indicated with the warning symbol.
• Follow the instructions carefully next to these warning symbols! Not paying careful attention to these instructions could result
in physical injury or damage to the wheelchair or the environment. Where ever possible, safety information is provided in the
relevant chapter.
Temperature
• Avoid physical contact with the wheelchair’s motors at all times. Motors are continuously in motion during use and can reach
high temperatures. After use, the motors will cool down slowly. Physical contact could cause burns.
• If you do not use the wheelchair, ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight for lengthy periods of time. Certain parts of the
wheelchair, such as the seat, the back and the armrests can become hot if they have been exposed to full sunlight for too long.
This may cause burns or allergic reactions to the skin.
Interference between carrier and tilt module at the lowest seat height
Optimizing the different functions in the wheelchair can lead to interference between certain parts. In this case the 45 deg tilt in
combination with the lowest seat height can limit the possible degree of tilt. This depends on the Centre of Gravity position of the
seating system and the seat depth.
The bigger the seat depth and/or the centre of gravity position going to the rear, the bigger the limit of the tilt angle.
We do not expect this to be a problem since people seated in the chair with the lowest seat height, have a small under leg length
and are therefore smaller people in general. The chance that they have a bigger seat depth or a rearward centre of gravity
position is limited.
If an interference should appear then this can be solved by:
• Decreasing the seat depth
• Positioning the centre of gravity forward
• Increase the seat height
Moving parts
• A wheelchair has moving and rotating parts. Contact with moving parts may result in serious
physical injury or damage to the wheelchair. Contact with the moving parts of the wheelchair
should be avoided.
• Wheels (turning and castor)
• Electric tilt in space adjustment
• Electric high/low option
• Electric backrest adjustment
• Electric elavating legrests
