m WARNING

Safety rules

PS Junior User Manual

Safety Instructions - General

Your wheelchair and seat was configured specifically for your needs as

prescribed by your healthcare provider. Consult your healthcare provider before

changing the seat position or making any other adjustment. Some adjustments

may reduce your wheelchair’s performance or safety or may not be appropriate

for your needs.

It is also of the utmost importance that you devote sufficient time to become

acquainted with the different buttons, the function and steering controls, the dif-

ferent adjustment possibilities of the seat, etc. of your wheelchair and its acces-

sories before you begin using it.

Do not undertake your own first test drive without making sure that you have

assistance in the immediate vicinity if you should need help.

In order to make sure that nothing happened to the wheelchair while it was

being shipped to you, you should check the following items before beginning

to use it:

• that all products ordered are included in the delivery, incuding operating

instructions and possible other documentation. If you suspect that something

is missing, then contact your supplier or Permobil for more information as

soon as possible.

• that no transport-related or other damages have occurred to the wheelchair,

seat and its accessories. If you discover that something has been damaged

or in some other manner appears to be incorrect, then contact your supplier

or Permobil for more information as soon as possible before you continue the

checks.

Safety Instructions

Damage to the seat

It is most important that Permobil should be notified as soon as possible if the

seat or its accessories have been damaged during transport, or damaged in

any other way while running. There is a risk that the seat and its accessories

can no longer be used safely.

Driving with Seat Lift/Seat Tilt

Make sure that no people are in the way of the seat when its functions are

activated.

Be careful in making sure that nothing gets stuck between the chassis and

the seat when the seat lift/seat tilt is operated. Operating the seat lift,seat tilt/

backrest recline changes the center of gravity and increases the risk of tipping

over. Always drive in low speed and only use those seat functions on level

ground, and not on hills, ramps, slopes or other inclines. Using those seat func-

tions while driving on inclines can lead to personal injury and property damage,

including damage to the wheelchair.

Center of Balance

The possibility of this wheelchair tipping and the point where this wheelchair

will tip forward, back or to the side depends on its center of balance. Please

note that the following factors can affect the wheelchair’s center of balance:

• Elevation of the seat

• Height and angle of the seat

• Body position or weight distribution

• Driving on an incline such as a ramp or a hill

• Use of a backpack or other accessories, depending on the amount of

weight added.

If your wheelchair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately

release the joystick to stop the wheelchair. Except in an emergency, do NOT

use the on/off button to stop your wheelchair. This will cause the wheelchair to

stop abruptly and may cause personal injury.
