Safety instructions
NOTICE
Transporting the wheelchair
The wheelchair may only be transported in vehicles approved
for this purpose. The vehicle must be suitably designed, insured
and equipped to transport a person in a wheelchair. No matter
how securely it is fastened in the vehicle, a wheelchair is not
designed to be a car seat and cannot offer the same degree of
safety as offered by standard car seats.
Before transportation, check that the wheelchair is properly
secured and that both wheel locks are engaged. Secure the
wheelchair front and rear to the vehicle at the tie-down points
only (marked with yellow stickers). Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions supplied with the approved fastening straps.
Instead of fastening straps, the wheelchair may be secured with
a locking system approved by Permobil for the product
concerned.
For alternative vehicle securement options, please consult your
dealer.
WARNING!
Wheelchair must be facing forward
The wheelchair is designed to be facing forward when used as
a seat in a motor vehicle.
CAUTION!
Damage during transportation
It is extremely important to inform Permobil as soon as possible
after the event if the wheelchair and its accessories have
suffered transportation damage, damage during driving or
damage from other causes. There is a risk that the wheelchair
and its accessories can no longer be used safely and securely.
Contact your service provider or Permobil for further informa-
tion. Refer to page 5.
