Permobil M3 Corpus, User Manual

Page: 28 / 74

Do not move the joystick before, during, or immediately after you turn on
the control system. If you move the joystick during this time, it can generate a
joystick error. If this happens, turn off and then on the wheelchair.
For additional information on how to control your wheelchair, refer to any
other documentation received with your wheelchair or contact your
Permobil dealer.
Some emergency exits or paths can be too small for your wheelchair to
navigate through them.
4.1.1 Driving restrictions
The wheelchair consumes much power when you drive up a hill, climb over
obstacles, or drive on rough terrain (for example sand). Permobil
recommends that you, as far as possible, avoid to drive for a long period of
time in these types of conditions.
Permobil recommends that you do not use the wheelchair in extreme
conditions, such as heavy rain, thick snow, or excessive heat or cold. The
driving range of your wheelchair is approximately 25 km (16 mi) when the
battery temperature is 25°C (77°F). The driving range is affected by the
battery temperature. Temperatures below 25°C (77°F) can shorten the
driving range. Temperatures below −25°C (−13°F) can harm your batteries.
This user manual’s wheelchair specification states the wheelchair’s maximum
user weight. The stated user weight includes the user and any personal effects.
Avoid sudden stops and starts.
