User Manual Corpus
Safety instructions - General
This seat may have been adjusted precisely to your needs on delivery, so you
should always ask the advice of the person who ordered the seat on your behalf
before making any changes or adjustments to the seat. Certain adjustments may
impair the seat’s safety/functions or its suitability for your needs.
To minimize incorrect use of your seat, it is also extremely important to take the
necessary time to familiarize yourself with the seat and its accessories, the var-
ious buttons and function or steering controls, and with the various adjustment
options, etc. before starting to use it.
Do not set out alone on your first test ride. Make sure you have assistance close
by if you should need help
.
To ensure that the seat has not been damaged during transport to you, please
check the following before initial use:
• Check that all products ordered are included in the delivery. If you suspect
that something is missing, contact your mobility aids center or Permobil as
soon as possible for further information.
• Check that no transport damage or other damage has occurred to the seat
and its accessories. If you discover any damage or see any other problem,
contact your mobility aids center or Permobil as soon as possible for further
information before you continue the check.

Safety instructions
Risk of pinching
Please note that the seat is heavy and contains many moving parts, which
means there will always be some risk of pinching.
Use the seat’s electric seat functions with the greatest care. Above all: when
you have moved up to or under a table or other fixed or moveable objects,
always make sure there are no items in the immediate vicinity which could
interfere with the seat’s moving parts.
Operation of seat elevator/seat angle/backrest angle
Make sure that there is nothing which could get caught between the chassis
and the seat when the seat elevator/seat angle or backrest angle functions are
being used. Using these functions alters the center of gravity, which always
means an increased risk of tipping. Always drive at low speed and only use
these seat functions on a level surface and not on slopes, ramps, hills or other
gradients.
Center of gravity
Note that the following factors may affect the center of gravity of the
seat/wheelchair and thus the risk of tipping:
• Raising the seat elevator
• Height and angle of seat
• Position or weight distribution of the body
• Driving on sloping surfaces, for example a ramp or hill
• When wearing a backpack or using other accessories, due to the extra
weight.
If your wheelchair starts to move in an unexpected way, immediately let go of
the joystick to stop the wheelchair. Except in an emergency, NEVER use the
on/off key to stop the wheelchair. This could lead to the wheelchair stopping
suddenly and violently, resulting in personal injury.
