WARNING!

The Circuit Breaker must always be in OFF-position when batteries and fuses are replaced.
Observe care in the use of metallic objects when working with batteries. A short-circuit can easily cause an
explosion. Always use protective gloves and protective eye-glasses.

WARNING!
Safety Circuits
Permobil products are equipped with safety circuits. Inhibit circuits prevent the wheelchair from driving under certain
conditions. Speed reduction circuits limit the wheelchair’s maximum speed under certain conditions. Limit switch
circuits limit the wheelchair’s functions under certain circumstances. Overload protection circuits shut the
wheelchair off in case of an overload. The user should stop using the wheelchair immediately and consult an
authorized Permobil distributor if any of these circuits should become disabled.
Any attempt to modify the safety circuits will 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.
L
CAUTION!
Recycling of Batteries
Used or broken drive batteries should be taken care of in an environmentally correct manner in accordance with
locally applicable recycling directions.
