Safety Instructions
Passengers
The wheelchair is not intended to transport passengers, regardless of the age of the passenger. The
Maximum User Weight stated in the User’s Manual for your seating includes the user and any personal
effects. The Maximum limit should not be exceeded. The wheelchair’s maneuverability and stability can
be degraded as a result.
Environmental Conditions
Protect your wheelchair from exposure to any type of moisture, including rain, snow, or wash.
Do not operate your wheelchair in icy or slippery conditions. These conditions can lower the perfor-
mance and safety of your wheelchair which could lead to an accident, personal injury and property
damage, including damage to the wheelchair.

WARNING
Positioning Belt
Permobil positioning belts are designed to position the user only and will not protect you in an acci-
dent. You may even receive further injury from the belts.
Transfer into and out of the chair
Be sure that the wheel locks are engaged before entering or leaving the wheelchair and before
pivoting the arm for transfer.
When transferring into or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the
distance between the wheelchair and the place to which the user is transferring. Overextending this
distance can cause user to overexert, lose balance, or fall.
Permobil recommends that users transfer in the presence of or with the assistance of an attendant.
Use caution when bending or reaching.
Do not use foot plates or armrests as supports when transferring into or out of the wheelchair. The
footplates and armrests are not designed to be weight-bearing structures. Excessive force may
cause them to give way, resulting in personal injury or property damage, including damage to the
wheelchair.
Your doctor or therapist will advise you how to transfer according to your health and every day life.
