CHAPTER 10: WHEEL LOCKS

I WARNING
Permobil Manual recommends that you remove the wheel locks from your chair frame prior to engaging in any contact sport.
If you ignore this Warning, you may seriously injure yourself or others or damage the wheelchair.
I
WARNING
The wheel stop must embed at least 5 mm into the tire or the chair may roll unexpectedly. Therefore, before adjusting the
lock you must inflate the tires to the recommended tire pressure (see sidewall of the tire). If you adjust the locks when the
tires are under-inflated, the lock will not operate properly when the tire is fully inflated.
If you ignore this Warning, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others
or damage the wheelchair.
I WARNING
After adjusting the wheel locks, engage the wheel locks and push against the tires to verify that the wheel locks prevent
the wheels from moving. If not, readjust the wheel locks until the wheel locks securely prevent the chair from rolling.
If you ignore this Warning, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others
or damage the wheelchair.
