Safety instructions
WARNING!
Use installed positioning aids
The user must use and securely fasten the positioning belt and
any other positioning aids on the wheelchair. Failure to
properly use positioning belts and other positioning aids may
cause bodily injury. If there is any sign of damage or wear on
any positioning belt or aids, immediately contact Permobil for a
replacement.
WARNING!
Transfer into and out of the wheelchair
Make sure the power is turned off before getting into or out of
the wheelchair and before lifting the control side armrest.
When transferring into or out of the wheelchair, every
precaution must be taken to reduce the distance between the
wheelchair and the place to which the user is transferring. Too
great a distance may cause the user to overexert him or herself,
lose balance or fall.
Permobil recommends that users transfer in the presence of or
with the assistance of an attendant.
Use caution when bending or reaching.
Never use the joystick as a handhold or support.
Do not use footplates or armrests as supports when transferring
into or out of the wheelchair. The footplates and armrests are
not designed as load-bearing structures. Excessive force may
cause them to give way, resulting in personal injury or property
damage, including damage to the wheelchair.
