Permobil F3 Corpus User Manual page 28

Permobil recommends that you do not use the wheelchair in extreme
conditions, such as heavy rain, thick snow, or excessive heat or cold.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight or cold temperatures can cause wheelchair
surfaces to become very hot or cold. The driving range of your wheelchair is
approximately 25 km (16 mi) when the battery temperature is 25°C (77°F).
The driving range is affected by the battery temperature. Temperatures below
25°C (77°F) can shorten the driving range. Temperatures below −25°C
(−13°F) can harm your batteries.
Do not
• operate the wheelchair under the influence of alcohol
• use the wheelchair on stairs or escalators
• use the wheelchair to carry passengers, regardless of their age or weight
• let children drive the wheelchair without supervision.
This user manual's wheelchair specification states the wheelchair's maximum
user weight. The stated user weight includes the user and any personal effects.
If the wheelchair is not behaving as it should, or if you suspect that something
is wrong, stop the wheelchair as soon as possible, turn off the power and
contact your service provider or Permobil for further information.
Avoid sudden stops and starts. Use extreme caution in any of the following
situations:
• when you are near edges or on elevated surfaces
• when driving on soft or uneven surfaces, such as grass, gravel, sand, ice, or
snow
• when driving from an area of high traction (e.g. pavement) to an area of
low traction (e.g. grass)
• when turning the wheelchair
• when in narrow or confined spaces
