    Handling General The wheelchair is designed for use both indoors and out. When driving indoors, take care in e.g. narrow passages, when passing through doors and entrances and when using lifts, ramps, etc. Also bear in mind the crush hazard when using the seat angle functions, especially if the wheelchair has been driven under tables, benches, etc.
  • Page 191 Handling Do not use the joystick alone as a support. Fast turns and driving on uneven surfaces can interfere with your ability to handle the wheelchair safely. 1. Switch on the power. 2. Select a suitable driving profile with the Profile button (if the system is programmed for more than one driving profile).
  • Page 192: Joystick Error

    Handling Joystick error Joystick error at startup Do not move the joystick before, during or immediately after the control system is switched on.

  • Page 207 Risk of fire or explosion - charging conditions Use only the charger supplied with your wheelchair or a charger recommended by Permobil. The use of other chargers may damage the batteries, the wheelchair electronics or the charger itself. It may also result in parts becoming overheated, which may entail a greater risk of fire.
  • Page 208 Handling WARNING! Risk for overheating, sparks or short-circuit To interrupt the charging process, turn off the power supply at the switch on the charger before removing the charging jack from the wheelchair’s charger socket. This is to avoid sparking and unnecessarily high wear on the charging contact.
  • Page 209 The main circuit breaker must be set to On to charge the batteries. Make sure the charger connector is fully inserted in the wheelchair’s charger socket.

  • Page 249 Maintenance and repairs Assembling the drive wheel Assemble in the reverse order. Tighten the nine screws using a torque wrench. Tightening torque: 16.2 lb.ft. If the tire is pneumatic, inflate the tire to the recommended tire pressure: 29–36 psi. CAUTION! Risk of injury if tire pressure is incorrect Before operating the wheelchair for the first time and regularly thereafter, check that the tire pressure meets the specifications in this manual.
  • Page 250 Only qualified service technicians should perform the maintenance and repair specified in this manual. Read all instructions carefully before proceeding. If any questions arise, contact Permobil for assistance. Inflating tires Read all warnings contained in this section before filling the tires.
