Owner's Manual Permobil X850 MiniFlex

General

This wheelchair is an electric rear-wheel drive wheelchair for outdoor driving. It is intended for people with physical
disabilities.
The wheelchair consists of a chassis and a seat. The chassis contains the wheelchair's electronics, power supply and
drive functions. The seat consists of a seat frame, seat plate/back rest, arm rest, seat lift/fixed seat tube and any ac-
cessories/options such as a headrest, etc.

Driving

Check that the control panel is correctly fitted and that the joystick is in the neutral position. Ensure that you have good
support, for example the wheelchair's arm rest, for the part you use to handle the joystick with. Do not just use the joy-
stick as a support. Fast turns and driving on uneven surfaces can interfere with your ability to handle the wheelchair
safely.
1. Insert the key switch into the control panel.
2. Switch on the power by pressing the on/off switch (1) on the control panel.
3. Set the appropriate speed range by pressing the speed selector until the desired indication lamp lights up for your
type of driving. It is a good idea to start at the low speed.
4. Move the joystick carefully forwards to drive forwards or backwards to reverse.
5. The speed of the wheelchair is controlled steplessly by moving the joystick forwards or backwards to different de-
grees. The wheelchair's electronics allow for very slow driving over edges. You can drive up to the edge and then
carefully drive over it.
