WARNING
Passengers
The wheelchair is not designed to transport passengers, whatever their age.
Nor is it designed for taking heavy items other than the user's personal belong-
ings. The maximum user weight specified in the owner´s manual for the seat in
question must not be exceeded. Ignoring this could impair the wheelchair's
maneuverability and stability.
Operation in different climates
Permobil's wheelchairs are designed to tolerate most weather conditions, but
you should avoid exposing the wheelchair to severe cold, persistent damp-
ness, heavy rain/snowfall and similar situations. If the wheelchair has been
exposed to any of these, do not use it again before it has completely dried out.
Remember also that certain surfaces on the wheelchair/seat may heat up or
cool down under lengthy exposure to strong sunshine or cold, etc.
If any of the seat covers or the control panel box shows signs of cracking, etc., they
should be replaced so no moisture can penetrate and damage the electronics.
Do not use the wheelchair when it is icy or slippery outdoors. These conditions
may impair the performance and safety of the wheelchair, which could result in
accident, personal injury and damage to property, including damage to the
wheelchair.
NB: Be extremely careful when you use oxygen in the immediate proximity of
electronic circuits and other inflammable substances. Contact your oxygen
supplier for instructions on the use of oxygen.
