CAUTION! Recycle all batteries
Used batteries must be disposed of responsibly in accordance
with local recycling regulations.
WARNING! Use the recommended tire
pressure
Use the recommended tire pressure. Incorrect tire pressure
can make the wheelchair unstable and difficult to drive. If you
overfill the tires, they can explode and cause bodily injury.
CAUTION! Electromagnetic fields
The electronics in a power wheelchair can be affected by
external electromagnetic fields (e.g. mobile phones). Similarly,
the electronics in the wheelchair itself also emit electro-
magnetic fields that can affect the immediate surroundings
(e.g. certain alarm systems in businesses).
WARNING! Discontinue use after
extraordinary events
Do not use your wheelchair if it has been dropped, crushed,
exposed to fire, submerged in water, or involved in a vehicular
accident, or other extraordinary events. Events like these can
lead to significant damage that is impossible to detect upon
inspection. Contact your service provider or Permobil.
Damage caused by these types of incidents exceeds the
limits covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
WARNING! Sufficient ground clearance
Always position the leg rest and footplate high enough so that
they will not hit the ground when you drive your wheelchair.
This includes when you drive over changing slopes or over
obstacles. If you allow the leg rest or footplate to hit the
ground, the wheelchair can become less stable and injure you.
WARNING! Drive extra carefully when
standing
When you use the standing function, drive extra carefully and
only on level ground. Never reach out from the wheelchair
while you drive. If you do not follow these instructions, the
wheelchair can become less stable and injure you.
