WARNING
Maintenance and service
Carry out only the service and maintenance activities noted in this owner´s
manual. All other service, alterations to and interventions in the wheelchair and
its accessories' vital systems must be carried out by a competent service engi-
neer or a person with sufficient knowledge to do so in an expert manner. In
case of doubt, always contact a competent service engineer or Permobil.
The power supply must be switched off during all work or servicing on the
wheelchair's electrical system.
Use only spare parts or accessories approved or recommended by Permobil.
All other use could lead to changes which might impair the functions and safe-
ty of the wheelchair. It could also lead to the warranty for your wheelchair
becoming invalid.
Note that the seat is heavy and contains many moving parts, which means
there will always be some risk of crushing.
Weight limits
The maximum user weight for your wheelchair is specified in the specifications
section of the owner´s manual supplied with the seat model in question. If the
wheelchair is used by anyone who weighs more than the maximum permitted
user weight, the result may be personal injury or damage to property, including
damage to the wheelchair. This may also invalidate the wheelchair's warranty.
Do not carry passengers on the wheelchair. This may result in personal injury
or damage to property, including damage to the wheelchair.
NOTE
Before driving
If necessary, and when certain medical conditions exist, the user should prac-
tise using the wheelchair together with an assistant who knows how the wheel-
chair works and the abilities and limitations of the user.
