Transporting the wheelchair without occupants

CAUTION: Injury hazard!
• If you are unable to fasten your electric wheelchair securely in a transport vehicle, Invacare
recommends that you do not transport it!
• Before transporting your wheelchair, make sure the motors are engaged and that the Joystick
Box is switched off.
®
Invacare strongly recommends that you additionally disconnect or remove the batteries. See
"Removing the batteries." on page 94.
®
• Invacare strongly recommends securing the wheelchair to the floor of the transporting vehicle.
There are two ways to prepare the wheelchair for transport:
•
In case your Mistral is equipped with an electric or gas pressure spring adjustable backrest,
then the backrest can simply be folded down forwards.
•
In addition, all Mistral models can be dismantled and folded for the transport.
