Seat Slings/Cushions; Upholstery Fabric; Seating Systems - Permobil Aero Z 2 Series Owner's Manual

B. SEAT SLINGS/CUSHIONS
I WARNING
Permobil Manual seat slings (which are standard equipment) and cushions (which are optional equipment) are not designed
for the relief of pressure. If you have pressure sores, or are at risk to get them, you may need a special pressure-relieving
cushion or other seating system. If you have pressure sores, consult with your doctor immediately. If you are at risk to develop
pressure sores or do not know if you are at risk, consult with your doctor as to the most appropriate seating system for you.
Permobil Manual has NO information about your medical condition and assumes no responsibility should you choose the
wrong seating system for your medical needs. You MUST regularly check your seat sling while you are seated in your
wheelchair to ensure that the tension is properly adjusted so that your weight does not cause the seat sling to touch the
crosstubes beneath the seat sling.
Permobil Manual also offers a limited number of seat cushions manufactured by other manufacturers. However, the selection
of any of these products is a decision to be made by you and your doctor or therapist. Permobil Manual has NO information
about your medical condition and assumes no responsibility should you choose the wrong seating system for your
medical needs.
C. UPHOLSTERY FABRIC
I WARNING
1. If the fabric of your seat sling or seat back becomes worn or torn, ALWAYS replace it immediately. If you fail to do so,
the seat sling or seat back upholstery may sag or fail.
2. The upholstery on your chair is flame retardant. Laundering or allowing the upholstery to become wet repeatedly will
reduce the flame retardant qualities of the fabric.
3. DO NOT "drop down" into your chair. By placing undue force on the upholstery, you will weaken the fabric and it may
become worn sooner than it otherwise would. If you do "drop down" into your chair on a regular basis, inspect and
replace the upholstery more often.
4. The upholstery on your chair will weaken with age and use. Regularly inspect your upholstery for fraying, thin spots,
or stretching of the fabric at the rivet holes.
D. SEATING SYSTEMS
I WARNING
Permobil Manual does not sell any seating systems specifically designed for use with Permobil Manual wheelchairs, nor does
Permobil Manual recommend any particular seating system. If your doctor or therapist recommends that you use a seating
system with your Permobil Manual chair, always consult with an authorized Permobil Manual dealer to determine if the
recommended seating system is compatible with your Permobil Manual chair. In addition, the following warnings must
be followed:
1. If you add a seating system to your Permobil Manual chair, you will affect its center of balance. This may cause the
chair to tip over. Therefore, NEVER install a new seating system on your own. Instead, have it installed by an authorized
Permobil Manual dealer who can assist you in making other necessary adjustments to ensure your center of balance
is maintained as closely as possible to what you are used to.
2. As with other changes to the configuration of your chair that affect its center of balance, if you add a seating system
to your Permobil Manual chair, ALWAYS use anti-tips until you have fully learned to control your chair in its new
configuration.
3. Keep in mind that adding a seating system also may inhibit the proper operation of a folding back wheelchair.
