WARNING
Never use the wheelchair on a sloping surface with the brakes released.
Always ensure that the wheelchair is switched off when the brakes are activated/deactivated.
To prevent the wheelchair from rolling off, ensure that it is on a dry, level surface before releasing
the brakes.
Anyone who pushes a wheelchair with the brakes released must ensure that this is done safely
without risks.
Always reset the brake release after moving the wheelchair manually.
When the brakes are released, it should not be possible to drive the chair. If the chair can still be
driven, contact your service contact or Permobil immediately.
