Safety Instructions
WARNING
Maintenance and Service
Carry out only the service and maintenance which are stated in the Owner's
Manual. All other service and maintenance must be performed by a qualified
service technician authorized by Permobil to perform such service on Permobil
products
During all work on the electrical system of the wheelchair, the connection to the
poles of the battery must always be removed. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, use extreme caution when using metal objects while working on the bat-
teries. Short-circuiting can easily cause an explosion. Never perform service
on the wheelchair without using protective gloves and goggles. Failure to do so
can lead to personal injury.
Do not use parts or accessories not authorized by Permobil. Use of unap-
proved "aftermarket" accessories and parts may cause changes in the wheel-
chair, which may make the wheelchair unstable or uncontrollable. Such use
may also void the warranty on the wheelchair.
Connecting any unapproved electrical or electronic devices to the wheelchair's
electrical system can cause damage to the chair and caused the chair to
become uncontrollable or drive erratically. Such use may also void the warranty.
The wheelchair is heavy and contains many moving parts, which means that
the risk of being caught between them is always present.
Charging of Batteries
Charging must be done in a well-ventilated room, not in a wardrobe or closet.
Charging must not be done in a bathroom or wet room. Only chargers with a
max 10 A charging current (average value) may be used (the RMS value of
the charging current must not exceed 12A). When the charger is connected,
the chair must not and cannot be driven.
