Owner's Manual Permobil X850 MiniFlex

Driving technique

The control panel's electronics "interpret" the movements of the joystick and move the wheelchair as intended. For
normal driving, no complex techniques are needed. This is an advantage if the user does not have much experience.
A good way to start driving the wheelchair is quite simply to move the joystick in the desired driving direction. The
wheelchair then moves in the direction that the joystick is pointing.
However, always remember to drive as gently as possible and to avoid sudden braking and evasive manoeuvres.

IMPORTANT!
Do not take the first test drive alone. The test drive is intended to establish how the wheelchair and you work
together. You may need assistance.
Before driving, check that the brake release lever is in the drive position.
