Please consult your supplier for more information. Your authorized supplier can also provide you with
information on accessories.

Permobil ZR Owner’s Manual 1-1 OM0005-ENGLISH_Rev E_ZR
CHAPTER 1: WARNINGS
SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
GENERAL WARNINGS
A. SAFETY INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
IWARNING
It is important to keep your wheelchair in proper working condition. Chapter 2 of this Manual outlines the safety inspections
that you should make before each use of your chair, as well as weekly and quarterly inspections.
1. ALWAYS inspect and maintain your Permobil Manual wheelchair strictly in accordance with the instructions and charts
in Chapter 2.
2. If you detect a problem in the course of your inspections or maintenance, ALWAYS have the chair serviced or repaired
to correct the problem BEFORE using the chair.
3. ALWAYS have your chair completely inspected and serviced by an authorized Permobil supplier at least once a year.
4. ALWAYS perform your safety inspections and any maintenance or adjustments while the chair is unoccupied (unless
this Manual expressly states otherwise).
If you fail to inspect or maintain your wheelchair as directed in this Manual, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the
wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others or damage the wheelchair.
B. ACCLIMATING TO YOUR NEW CHAIR
IWARNING
The intended use for the ZR is to provide mobility to physically impaired individuals. The ZR manual wheelchair is intended
for ongoing daily use. Each wheelchair is a unique piece of medical equipment, with unique handling, maneuvering and ride
characteristics. Whether you are a new wheelchair user or have years of experience, you MUST take the time to acclimate
to this particular chair before you begin riding. Start slowly and take the time to learn the handling, maneuvering and ride
characteristics of this chair. For example, your previous chair may have been a heavier and less responsive chair, and,
therefore, you may be used to using more force than is necessary to maneuver your Permobil Manual chair.
If you ignore these Warnings, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others
or damage the wheelchair.
C. WEIGHT LIMITATION
IWARNING
Permobil Manual wheelchairs have a weight limitation which applies to the combined weight of the user and any items
carried by the user. DO NOT exceed this weight limit. See Table 1.
Table 1
Weight Limits
ZR
13" Seat Width (33 cm) and larger 265 lbs. (120 kg)
12" Seat Width (30 cm) and smaller 150 lbs. (68 kg)
Heavy Duty Edition 300 lbs. (136 kg)
If you exceed the limit, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others or
damage the wheelchair.
D. PREVENTING ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES
IWARNING
1. You MUST be properly and fully trained in the safe use of this wheelchair by your health care advisor BEFORE you
use this chair.
2. Together with your health care advisor, you MUST analyze your level of function and ability and develop your own
methods for safe use that best suit you based on your level of function and ability.

Permobil ZR Owner’s Manual 1-2 OM0005-ENGLISH_Rev E_ZR
CHAPTER 1: WARNINGS
3. You MUST learn the limits of your ability and operate this wheelchair within such limits. This means you must PRACTICE
the maneuvers you will need to perform, such as bending, reaching and transfers, until you know the limits of your ability.
ALWAYS practice with the assistance of someone who can help you until you know what can cause, and how to avoid,
a fall or tip-over. NEVER try a new maneuver on your own until you are sure you can do it safely.
4. ALWAYS learn as much as you can about the places where you will be using your chair before you get there.
5. Anti-Tips MUST always be used with your wheelchair.
6. Together with your health care advisor, you MUST analyze your medical condition to determine whether you are
capable of using this chair safely and/or what options or accessories you will require in order to use this chair safely
(e.g., pressure-relief cushions, seat belts).
If any warnings stated in this manual are ignored, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure
yourself or others or damage the wheelchair.
E. CHANGING/ADJUSTING YOUR WHEELCHAIR
IWARNING
1. UseextremecautionwhenchangingoradjustingthecongurationofyourPermobilManualwheelchair.Whenyou
changeoradjusttheconguration,youmayincreasetheriskofatip-over.Therefore,youshouldconsultyourauthorized
PermobilManualdealerBEFOREyouchangeoradjusttheconguration.Further,PermobilManualrecommendsthat
youalwaysuseanti-tips,andthisisparticularlytrueafteryouhavechangedoradjustedthecongurationofyourchair.
2. Unauthorizedmodicationstoyourchair,ortheuseofpartsnotsuppliedorapprovedbyPermobilManual,maychange
the chair structure, may cause a safety hazard, including an increased risk of a tip-over, and will void the warranty.
F. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
IWARNING
1. Riding your Permobil Manual wheelchair on wet, icy or other slick surfaces increases the risk of losing control of the
wheelchair or tipping over. Use extra care if you must ride your chair on any such surface. If you have any doubt about
your ability to negotiate a particular surface, ALWAYS ask for assistance.
2. Aluminum does not rust, but it will corrode. However, contact with water or excess moisture may still damage parts
or components of your Permobil Manual wheelchair that are made from other materials and could cause such parts
or components to fail. Therefore, DO NOT:
a. use your chair in a shower, pool, ocean or other body of water,
b. leave your chair in a damp location, or
c. fail to dry your chair as soon as you can if it gets wet or if you use water to clean it.
G. STREET USE
IWARNING
1. Asawheelchairrider,youMUSTobeyalltrafcrulespertainingtopedestrians(useofcrosswalks,etc.).Moststates
do not permit wheelchairs to be ridden on public roads, streets or highways (i.e., as one would drive a car), so you
shouldnotdosowithoutrstconsultingthetrafclawsinyourownstate.Eveniflegal,ridingyourwheelchaironpublic
roads, streets or highways is extremely dangerous and is not recommended.

or loosen fasteners of your chair.
