WARNING
Positioning Belt
Permobil positioning belts are designed to position the user only and will not
protect you in an accident. You may even receive further injury from the belts.
Transfer into and out of the chair
Be sure that the power is turned OFF before entering or leaving the wheel-
chair 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.
