8.2 Transferring the mobility device to a vehicle

WARNING!
The mobility device is at risk of tipping over if it
is transferred to a vehicle while the user is still
seated in the mobility device
– Transfer the mobility device without the user
whenever possible.
– If the mobility device with the user has to be
transferred to a vehicle using a ramp, ensure
that the ramp does not exceed the rated slope
(refer to 11 Technical data, page 70).
– If the mobility device has to be transferred to
a vehicle using a ramp that does exceed the
rated slope (refer to 11 Technical data, page
70), a winch must then be used. An attendant
can then safely monitor and assist the transfer
process.
– Alternatively, a platform lift may be used.
– Ensure that the total weight of the mobility
device including the user does not exceed the
maximum permitted total weight for the ramp
or platform lift.
– The mobility device should always be
transferred to a vehicle with the backrest in
an upright position, the seat lifter lowered and
the seat tilt in the upright position (refer to 6.4
