WARNING!
Maintenance and Service
Carry out only the service and maintenance which are stated in the Owner’s Manual. All other service and
maintenance including programming of the control system must be performed by a qualified service technician
authorized by Permobil to perform such service on Permobil products. Incorrect settings could result in unsafe
operation of the wheelchair and could cause the chair to become unstable or uncontrollable. Such modifications
may also void the wheelchair’s warranty.
During all work on the electrical system of the wheelchair, the Circuit Breaker must always be in OFF position. To
avoid the risk of electric shock, use extreme caution when using metal objects while working on the batteries. Short-
circuiting can easily cause an explosion. Never perform service on the wheelchair without using protective gloves
and goggles. Failure to do so can lead to personal injury.
Do not use parts or accessories not authorized by Permobil. Use of unapproved ”aftermarket” accessories and
parts may cause changes in the wheelchair, which may make the wheelchair unstable or uncontrollable. Such use
may also void the warranty on the wheelchair.
Connecting any unapproved electrical or electronic devices to the wheelchair’s electrical system can cause damage
to the chair and caused the chair to become uncontrollable or drive erratically. Such use may also void the warranty.
The wheelchair is heavy and contains many moving parts, which means that the risk of being caught between them
is always present.
