WARNING
Transport
The wheelchair/seat must be transported in or with transport solutions that
have been approved for this purpose.
Do not lift or move the wheelchair/seat by any of its removable parts. Doing so
could lead to personal injury and property damage, including damage to the
seat and wheelchair.
Check that the wheelchair is properly secured and that the wheel locks are not
disengaged. The wheelchair can be locked into position by running fastening
straps through the brackets at the front and back. Also check that the fastening
points on the transport vehicle are well-anchored.
A defectively fastened chair can cause serious injury to persons in the vehicle
and serious damage to the vehicle.
Use Prohibited in Motor Vehicles
Permobil recommends that users NOT be transported in any kind of vehicle
while in their wheelchair, unless the user is in an approved Permobil wheel-
chair configuration, has secured the wheelchair using a Permobil approved
WC-19 transit kit, and is using a seat belt 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.
Unless using a Permobil approved WC-19 transit kit with an approved Permobil
wheelchair, never sit in your wheelchair while in a moving vehicle. In an acci-
dent 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.
