18-21 INTRODUCTION We congratulate you on your choice of a Panthera wheelchair. We hope that you will be satisfied with this product and have many pleasant years together. All wheelchairs from Panthera AB are designed and assembled in Spånga outside Stockholm. They are designed to be market leading regarding quality, low weight and easy to drive.
Panthera S2 is our new standard model. Panthera S2 replaces the previous model Panthera Stan- dard. S2 has a full frame width at the front and is 5 cm shorter than Panthera Standard. The front wheels are placed further out, which provides plenty of room for the feet and prevents the castor wheels from catching on your heels.
WARNING! A Panthera wheelchair is designed to be as easy to drive as possible and because of this it reacts quickly to the actions you perform. If you perform the wrong actions, the chair can tip backwards if you do not have anti-tips.
