Technical facts 17-18 INTRODUCTION We congratulate you on your choice of a wheelchair from Panthera AB and we hope you will be satisfied with this product. All products from Panthera AB are designed and assembled in Spånga, outside of Stockholm. They are built to be market leading when it comes to quality, ease of manoeuv- rability and low weight. -
Page 3: Description
Thanks to our broad accessory line and the many adjustment options, a very large group of different children can use Bambino. It is easy to manoeuvre, easy to adjust and easy to lift. Panthera Bambino is simply a truly active chair for children from about 4 to 12 years of age. - Page 4 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: A Panthera chair is designed to be as easily manoeuvred as possible. Because the chair is so easily manoeuvred, it reacts quickly and easily to the user's actions. If the user per- forms the wrong action it can tip backwards for example, if no anti-tip devices are fitted.
- Page 5 A basic belt is supplied with the chair. If this is not sufficient, the child must not use the chair until the prescriber has obtained one that provides satisfactory protection. Bambino Moving/lifting (Figure 1) Due to the chair's low weight, it can shift laterally when the child moves to the chair from the side and the brakes are applied.

- Page 10 ADJUSTMENTS 3) Backrest Bambino (Figures 13) Backrest upholstery tension: This is adjusted by tightening or loosening the straps with Velcro fasteners at the rear of the backrest. The backrest upholstery also has a tab that fastens under the seat upholstery with a Velcro strap. You can move this forwards or backwards to attain suitable tension for the backrest upholstery's lower section (called the seat bucket).
- Page 11 ADJUSTMENTS 4) Wheelchair balancing Bambino (Figure 15) Adjust the balance of the wheelchair by moving the drive wheels (rear axle) forwards or backwards. The further forward you position the drive wheels, the more the chair will be balanced to the rear. This causes the chair to be light at the front and there will be more weight over the drive wheels.

ADJUSTMENTS 4) Positioning of the brakes Bambino (Figure 17) The brakes must be adjusted so that in the locked position, they press about 3-4 mm into the tyres.

Page 14: Transport
TRANSPORTATION Securing the wheelchair in a vehicle Bambino (Figure 19 and 20) We would like to make it quite clear that the best alternative for transportation in a vehicle is to transfer from the wheelchair into a regular passenger seat with a seatbelt. If this is not possible, you may have to remain seated in your crashtested wheelchair. -
