Special safety informations

L
For safety reasons, the wheelchair
must be unloaded (without bag-
gage and without user) during its
loading into a car or when a split
ramp is used.
L
Ensure that the wheelchair can roll
back for a short distance (neutral
zone) if forward motion on the
ramp is interrupted or when set-
ting in motion at the bottom of the
ramp.
L
Cars and vans should be parked on
a level and firm surface with the
handbrake on to prevent them
from rolling away.
L
Ensure that the ramp cannot slip
at the ground end or at the trans-
port vehicle end.
L
Ramps should be positioned so as
to leave enough space for wheel-
chair steering correction without
one of the wheels protruding over
the edge of the ramp.
L
Only use the wheelchair on dry,
clean and undamaged ramps or lift-
ing equipment.
L
Pre-select the lowest maximum
speed.
L
Only approved ramps or lifting
equipments may be used.
Attention:
!
The loading capacity per ramp or
lifting equipment must be for the
wheelchair:
– greater than 100 kg without driv-
er and
– greater than 250 kg with driver
(fixed ramp)!
Only tested and approved ramps or
lifting platforms intended for
wheelchair loading may be used.
