Owner´s Manual Permobil M400 Transport
m WARNING!
If the wheelchair has to be transported with the user in the chair into the vehicle through a ramp,
the wheelchair shall be secured against tipping backwards by a person behind.
Wheelchair users should transfer to the vehicle seat and use the vehicle-installed restraint system
whenever it is feasible.
The vehicle restraint belt should not be worn twisted.
Always make sure that the vehicle restraint belt is not adjusted over sharp edges of the wheel-
chair.
The vehicle restraint belt should not be held away from the body by wheelchair components or
parts, such as the wheelchair's armrest or wheels.
All wheelchair-mounted trays shall be removed and secured separately in the vehicle, or be
secured to the wheelchair.
When possible, other auxiliary wheelchair equipment should be either secured to the wheelchair
or removed from the wheelchair and secured in the vehicle during transit, so that it does not break
free and cause injury to vehicle occupants in the event of a collision.
A poorly fastened chair can cause extensive damage and injury both to the people in the transport
vehicle as well as to the vehicle itself and the wheelchair if it comes loose.
