Intended use
The Panthera wheelchair is designed for those who need an everyday chair which
is easy to drive and provides a comfortable and ergonomic sitting posture. The
chair is designed to allow you to lift it easily in and out of your car. The chassis has
narrow outer dimensions in the most lightweight design currently available. We
have also designed the framework tubing of the chassis to provide you with a ba-
lanced and ergonomically correct grip when you lift the chair in and out of the car.
To be able to make best use of your Panthera you, or an authorized professional,
should adapt it to ensure that you sit correctly, have optimum mobility and balance
the chair according to your capacity. This is why we recommend that you read
these instructions for adapting your Panthera.
It is especially important that you read pages 9-10 in these instructions since
they concern your safety.

Make sure you receive the chair you ordered:
Check the width of the chair. Measure the outer dimensions of the seat. These
should be 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45 or 50 cm according to your order.
Check the height of the backrest. Measure the height of the vertical back tu-
bing. It should be 0.5 cm lower than the height of the back height you ordered.
For example, if you ordered a 30 back, the height of the tubing should measure
29.5 cm.
Check that you have received the accessories you ordered.
Conduct a technical inspection of the chair:
The rear wheel axles should move smoothly in and out of the casing.
The button at the centre of the hub should spring out when the rear wheels
have been inserted.
All four wheels should touch the ground.
The caster fork can be easily rotated.
The backrest folds down easily.
If any of the points above are not satisfactory please contact us at Panthera Produc-
tion AB before proceeding to use the chair.
