The standard models, both single and twin wheel versions, are not to be used on wheelchairs where the
combined weight of user plus Powerpack and wheelchair exceeds 114.30 kilograms (18 stone). The heavy
duty version is not to be used on wheelchairs where the combined weight of user plus Powerpack and
wheelchair exceeds 165.10 kilograms (26 stone).

lbs) and the heavy duty 16.05 kg (35.3 lbs). Please refer to the wheelchair manufacturer's handbook for the
maximum user weight limits of the wheelchair.
3.
Please read these instructions very carefully before unpacking the Powerpack or attempting to fit it on a
wheelchair.

As the Powerpack and its associated components are relatively heavy and fitted at a low level, great care
