Safety rules - General
Your wheelchair may have been adjusted precisely to your needs on delivery, so
you should always ask the advice of the person who ordered the seat on your
behalf before making changes or adjustments to the wheelchair. Certain adjust-
ments may impair the wheelchair's safety/functions or its suitability for your
needs.
To minimise incorrect use of your wheelchair, it is also extremely important to
take the necessary time to familiarise yourself with the wheelchair and its acces-
sories, the various keys, function and steering controls and the various seat
adjustment options, etc. before starting to use it.
Do not set out alone on your first test ride. Make sure you have assistance close
by if you should need help .
To ensure that nothing has occurred to the seat during its transport to you,
please check the following before first use:
• Check that all products ordered are included in the delivery. If you suspect
that something is missing, contact your aids centre or Permobil as soon as
possible for further information.
• Check that no transport damage or other damage has occurred to the seat
and its accessories. If you discover any damage or see any other problem,
contact your aids centre or Permobil as soon as possible for further informa-
tion before you continue the check.
Check also that the wheelchair's batteries are fully charged and that the tires
have the right air pressure before using the wheelchair.
If, in any situation, you find that the wheelchair does not behave as expected or
you suspect that anything is wrong, stop your test ride as soon as possible, switch
off the wheelchair and contact your service contact or Permobil for information.
