WARNING
Safety Circuits
Permobil products are equipped with safety circuits. Inhibit circuits prevent the
wheelchair from driving under certain conditions. Speed reduction circuits limit
the wheelchair's maximum speed under certain conditions. Limit switch circuits
limit the wheelchair's functions under certain circumstances. Overload protec-
tion circuits shut the wheelchair off in case of an overload. The user should
stop using the wheelchair immediately and consult an authorized Permobil dis-
tributor if any of these circuits should become disabled.
Any attempt to modify the safety circuits will result in unsafe operation of the
wheelchair and could cause the chair to become unstable or uncontrollable.
Such modifications may also void the wheelchair's warranty.
Changing Batteries and Fuses
The Circuit Breaker must always be in OFF-position when batteries and fuses
are replaced.
Observe care in the use of metallic objects when working with batteries. A
short-circuit can easily cause an explosion. Always use protective gloves and
protective eye-glasses.
Filling Air into tires
Check at regular intervals that the wheelchair's tires have the prescribed tire
pressure. Incorrect tire pressure can cause deteriorating stability and maneu-
verability.
The prescribed tire pressure is 36 psi (250 kPa).
Note that overfilling causes a risk of explosion.
