CHAPTER 1: WARNINGS

GENERAL WARNINGS

A. SAFETY INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
I WARNING
It is important to keep your wheelchair in proper working condition. Chapter 2 of this Manual outlines the safety inspections
that you should make before each use of your chair, as well as weekly and quarterly inspections.
1. ALWAYS inspect and maintain your Permobil Manual wheelchair strictly in accordance with the instructions and charts
in Chapter 2.
2. If you detect a problem in the course of your inspections or maintenance, ALWAYS have the chair serviced or repaired
to correct the problem BEFORE using the chair.
3. ALWAYS have your chair completely inspected and serviced by an authorized Permobil supplier at least once a year.
4. ALWAYS perform your safety inspections and any maintenance or adjustments while the chair is unoccupied (unless
this Manual expressly states otherwise).
If you fail to inspect or maintain your wheelchair as directed in this Manual, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the
wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others or damage the wheelchair.
B. ACCLIMATING TO YOUR NEW CHAIR
I
WARNING
The intended use for the Aero Z and ZRA is to provide mobility to physically impaired individuals. The Aero Z and ZRA manual
wheelchair is intended for ongoing daily use. Each wheelchair is a unique piece of medical equipment, with unique handling,
maneuvering and ride characteristics. Whether you are a new wheelchair user or have years of experience, you MUST take
the time to acclimate to this particular chair before you begin riding. Start slowly and take the time to learn the handling,
maneuvering and ride characteristics of this chair. For example, your previous chair may have been a heavier and less
responsive chair, and, therefore, you may be used to using more force than is necessary to maneuver your Permobil
Manual chair.
If you ignore these Warnings, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others
or damage the wheelchair.
C. WEIGHT LIMITATION
I
WARNING
Permobil Manual wheelchairs have a weight limitation which applies to the combined weight of the user and any items
carried by the user. DO NOT exceed this weight limit. See Table 1-1.

12" Seat Width (30 cm) and smaller
Heavy Duty Edition
If you exceed the limit, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others
or damage the wheelchair.
