Fitting
Fitting a docking system to the vehicle - General
Check after installation that the docking system is not warped and that the docking system func-
tions correctly.
The docking system must be tested with the user sitting in the wheelchair.
Check that the wheelchair shock absorbers are set for the right user weight – see the chassis ser-
vice manual. Permobil recommends that solid tires are used for the wheelchair.

NOTE
Fitting on a sloping surface
To ensure that the wheelchair pins end in the correct position for locking, it is important that the
locking plate is mounted correctly in relation to the wheelchair chassis. The height of the locking
plate can therefore be adjusted to six different height positions. The docking system is sprung to
make moving in and locking on a sloping surface easier (see example below). The docking sys-
tem should not be fitted on a sloping surface if the wheelchair is to be backed in.
In some cases, it may be necessary to fit spacers to the vehicle floor in order to be able to lock the
wheelchair securely, see 29.
The docking system must be anchored in a manner that is safe for the type of vehicle involved and
which conforms to the relevant country’s regulations.
The docking system must be anchored in such a way that other components are not damaged and
the strength of the vehicle floor is not impaired.
