Owner´s Manual Permobil M400

Transport

The wheelchair must only be transported in a vehicle that is approved for such
purposes.
Check that the wheelchair is properly fastened and that the wheel locks are
engaged. When transporting the wheelchair in a vehicle, the wheelchair must be
locked into position by running fastening straps through the brackets in the front
and the back, each marked with a yellow sticker.
Secure the wheelchair according to the manufacturer of the vehicle restraint sys-
tems instructions. Always make sure that the fastening points on the transport
vehicle are well-anchored.

m WARNING!
Use Prohibited in Motor Vehicles
Permobil recommends that users NOT be transported in any kind of vehicle while in their wheel-
chair, unless the user is in an approved Permobil wheelchair configuration, has secured the wheel-
chair using a Permolock C3, and is using a seatbelt attached to the vehicle. The only other safe
alternative is that users be transferred into factory vehicle seating for transportation and use safety
restraints made available by the auto industry. The only wheelchair transportation system Permobil
recommends is a Permolock C3 used in combination with an approved Permobil wheelchair.
Unless using a Permolock C3 with an approved Permobil wheelchair, never sit in your wheelchair
while in a moving vehicle. In an accident or sudden stop, you may be thrown from the chair and
seriously injured or killed.
Permobil positioning belts are designed to position the user only and not to protect you in
the event of a motor vehicle accident. The positioning belts do not replace use of a vehicle
mounted restraint.
