WARNING!
Weight limitations
The maximum user weight for your wheelchair is set forth in the
technical specifications section in this User's Manual. Oper-
ation of the wheelchair by users who exceed the maximum
allowable user weight can lead to personal injury and property
damage, including damage to the wheelchair, as well as
voiding any warranty applicable to the wheelchair.
Do not carry passengers on the wheelchair. Doing so can lead
to personal injury and property damage, including damage to
the wheelchair.
CAUTION!
Prior to riding
In some instances, including where certain medical conditions
exist, users should practice operating their wheelchair under the
supervision of an assistant who is familiar with the operation of
the wheelchair and with the abilities and limitations of the user.

CAUTION!
Operation - slopes
When driving downhill, select the slowest speed and proceed
with caution. Driving down a slope may shift the user's center of
gravity forward. If the wheelchair rolls faster than you would
like, stop the wheelchair by releasing the joystick and begin
descending again more slowly.
Avoid sudden stops or starts. Stop by releasing the joystick
rather than by turning the power off. Turning off power while the
wheelchair is in motion will cause the wheelchair to stop
suddenly. Permobil recommends the use of securely fastened
positioning belts at all times.
When driving up a slope, try to keep moving at a steady speed.
Stopping and starting the wheelchair while moving up a slope
makes the wheelchair more difficult to control.
Do not drive up or down slopes with gradients greater than
those set forth in the technical specifications section of this
User's Manual. There is a risk that the wheelchair will not
maneuver safely.
