Owner's Manual Permobil K300/C300/C300s Handling
General
The Permobil K300/C300/C300s is designed for use both indoors and outdoors. When you drive indoors, you must be
careful in, for example, narrow passages, when going through doors and entrances and when using lifts, ramps, etc.
You should also consider the risk of crushing when you use the electric seat lift and seat angle functions, above all if
the wheelchair has been driven under tables, benches, etc. Outdoors you should remember to drive very slowly down
steep slopes and to be very careful when driving on uneven surfaces, up slopes, on side slopes and over obstacles.
Always observe a good safety distance when driving near edges and precipices.
We recommend that you do repeated test drives in an environment in which you feel safe so that you are very familiar
with how the wheelchair and its accessories behave in different situations before you start to use the wheelchair on
public roads and in other public locations.
Driving
Check that the control panel is correctly fitted and the joystick is in the neutral position. Ensure that you have good
support, for example the wheelchair’s arm rest, for the part you use to handle the joystick with. Do not just use the joy-
stick as a support. Fast turns and driving on uneven surfaces can interfere with your ability to handle the wheelchair
safely.
1. Switch on the power by pressing the start key on the control panel.
2. Select a suitable driving profile with the PROFILE key (if the system is programmed for more than one driving
profile).
3. Move the joystick carefully forwards to drive forwards or backwards to reverse.
4. The speed setting is adjusted using the keys for higher and lower speed. The wheelchair’s electronics allow very
slow driving over edges. You can drive up to the edge and then carefully drive over it.
