WARNING!
Transfer into and out of the chair
Be sure that the power is turned OFF before entering or leaving the wheelchair and before lifting the control side
armrest.
When transferring into or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the distance between
the wheelchair and the place to which the user is transferring. Overextending this distance can cause user to
overexert, lose balance, or fall.
Permobil recommends that users transfer in the presence of or with the assistance of an attendant.
Use caution when bending or reaching.
Never use the joystick as a handhold or point of support.
Do not use foot plates or armrests as supports when transferring into or out of the wheelchair. The footplates and
armrests are not designed to be weight-bearing structures. Excessive force may cause them to give way, resulting
in personal injury or property damage, including damage to the wheelchair.
