Driving - Shock Absorbers - Permobil C500 Owner's Manual

Permobil C500 Owner´s Manual Design and function
Driving
The wheelchair has a drive pack for each drive wheel. The motors regulate the
speed, turning and braking. A joystick on the control panel sends signals to the
electronics unit. The electronics unit then controls the motors.
Shock absorbers
The wheelchair is fitted with two shock absorbers with adjustable spring force. If
no specific user weight was specified in connection with delivery of the wheel-
chair, the shock absorbers are set to a standard value corresponding to a user
weight of 50 - 70 kg.
Adjustment of the spring force
The adjustment should be performed by personnel who are very familiar with the
design and function of the shock absorbers. If adjustment is required, please
contact your nearest service engineer/service center or Permobil service.
