INTRODUCTION

We congratulate you on your choice of a wheelchair from Panthera AB and we hope you 

will be satisfied with this product. 

All products from Panthera AB are designed and assembled in Spånga, outside of 
Stockholm. They are built to be market leading when it comes to quality, ease of manoeuv-
rability and low weight.

 

Intended use

Panthera Bambino and Micro are wheelchairs built for children who need an easily mano-
euvred, everyday wheelchair that permits them to sit comfortably and ergonomically. The 
chassis has narrow outer dimensions and is the lightest currently available on the market. 

For optimal use of the Panthera wheelchair, you or a qualified professional must make the 

necessary adjustments so that the child sits comfortably, and so that the chair is easy to 
manoeuvre and is properly balanced. It is therefore important that you read the instruc-
tions for making adjustments to your Panthera. 

We strongly recommend that you carefully read the entire user manual

.
