Safety instructions - General

This seat may have been adjusted precisely to your needs before delivery, so

you should always ask the advice of the person who ordered the seat on your

behalf before making any changes or adjustments to the seat. Certain adjust-

ments may impair the seat's safety/functions or its suitability for your needs.
To minimize incorrect use of your seat, it is also extremely important to take the

necessary time to familiarize yourself with the seat and its accessories, the vari-

ous buttons and function or steering controls, and with the various adjustment

options, etc. before starting to use it.

Do not set out alone on your first test ride. Make sure you have assistance close
by if you should need help

.

To ensure that the seat has not been damaged during transport to you, please

check the following before initial use:
• Check that all products ordered are included in the delivery. If you suspect

anything is missing, contact your mobility aids center or Permobil as soon as

possible for further information.

• Check that no transport damage or other damage has occurred to the seat

or its accessories. If you discover any damage or notice any other problem,

contact your mobility aids center or Permobil as soon as possible for further

information before continuing your inspection.
