Seat belt
Permobil’s seat belt is solely designed to hold the user in place and not as
protection in the event of a collision/accident. Check the condition of the belts
regularly in case any damage or worn areas have developed.
Getting in and out of the chair
Make sure the power is turned OFF before getting into or out of the wheelchair
and before raising the arm rest with the control panel.
When getting into or out of the wheelchair you should take all precautions to
reduce the distance between the wheelchair and the point to which the user is
moving. If this distance is increased, it could result in the user losing balance
or falling over.
Permobil recommends that users get in and out with another person present to
keep an eye on the operation or to help.
Be careful when bending down or reaching out to get something.
Never use the joystick as a handle or support.
Do not use the foot plates or arm rests as supports when getting into and out
of the wheelchair. The foot plates and arm rests are not intended to support
heavy loads. Unnecessarily high load could cause them to give way, which
could result in personal injury or damage to property, including damage to the
wheelchair.
