X850 Corpus 3G
WARNING!
The wheelchair must only be transported in vehicles approved for this
purpose. Always ask for confirmation of the transporter that the vehicle is
suitable designed, insured and equipped to transport a person in a
wheelchair. A wheelchair is not designed as a car seat and cannot offer
the same degree of safety that is offered by standard car seats, no matter
how securely it has been fastened in the vehicle concerned.
Carefully check that the wheelchair is properly fixed and that the brake
release has not been activated (the wheelchair drive wheels must be
locked). The wheelchair can be locked in position with loading straps from
the transport eyes at the front and rear, marked with yellow stickers, or by
using a Permolock locking system.
If the wheelchair needs to be transported with the user seated in it, be sure
to use an approved attachment system suitable for the total weight of the
wheelchair to secure the wheelchair.
• The wheelchair can be fastened by securing it to the tie-down points on
the wheelchair's chassis or in the Permolock locking system. The
wheelchair must not be secured onto any accessory.
• Permobil recommends that the wheelchair be equipped with a headrest
and that this is used during transportation.
• During transportation, it is essential that the user is secured with a three-
point safety belt that is attached to the floor and one side of the vehicle.
• A lap strap attached to the wheelchair only serves to keep the person in
an upright position and cannot be considered on par with a car safety
118
belt.
