X850 Corpus 3G
WARNING!
Transfer into and out of the wheelchair
Make sure the power is turned off before getting into or out of
the wheelchair and before lifting the control side armrest.
When transferring into or out of the wheelchair, every
precaution must be taken to reduce the distance between the
wheelchair and the place to which the user is transferring. Too
great a distance may cause the user to overexert him or herself,
lose balance or fall.
Permobil recommends that users transfer in the presence of or
with the assistance of an attendant.
Use caution when bending or reaching.
Never use the joystick as a handle or support.
Do not use footplates or armrests as supports when transferring
into or out of the wheelchair. The footplates and armrests are
not designed as load-bearing structures. Excessive force may
cause them to give way, resulting in personal injury or property
damage, including damage to the wheelchair.

NOTICE
Transporting the wheelchair
The wheelchair may only be transported in vehicles approved
for this purpose. The vehicle must be suitably designed, insured
and equipped to transport a person in a wheelchair. No matter
how securely it is fastened in the vehicle, a wheelchair is not
designed to be a car seat and cannot offer the same degree of
safety as offered by standard car seats.
Before transportation, check that the wheelchair is properly
secured and that both wheel locks are engaged. Secure the
wheelchair front and rear to the vehicle at the tie-down points
only (marked with yellow stickers). Follow the manufacturer's
instructions supplied with the approved fastening straps.
Instead of fastening straps, the wheelchair may be secured with
a locking system approved by Permobil for the product
concerned.
For alternative vehicle securement options, please consult your
dealer.
