Owner´s Manual Permobil M400
Driving on Sideways Slopes
Driving on a sideways slope must always be performed with great care.
Avoid abrupt avoidance maneuvers and never maintain a speed higher than that
at which you can maneuver the wheelchair in a safe and secure manner.
m WARNING!
Do not drive the wheelchair on sideways slopes of greater than 9 degrees. There is a risk of tip-
ping over.
m WARNING!
When driving on sideways slopes with an uneven surface (for example grass, gravel, sand, ice or
snow) a great deal of extra care must be observed. Failure to do so may result in personal injury
and/or damage to the wheelchair.
A raised seat lift/seat angle/back angle changes the center of gravity and increases the risk of tip-
ping. Therefore, use these seat functions only on flat surfaces and always drive with great caution
and at low speed.
