12.2 USING YOUR SCOOTER ON THE TRAIN:
If you wish to use your scooter on the train, we
recommend that you contact the train operator in
advance when planning your journey. Railway carriages
have provision for a "wheelchair" space where you can
sit on your scooter during the journey. Please note that
the overall length of your scooter may be greater than the
available length of the "wheelchair" space in the railway
carriage.
When planning your journey, you should check with the
train operator that there will be suitable boarding access
available to allow you to access the railway carriage and
the intended "wheelchair" space on joining and leaving
the train and there is suitable access onto the platform.
We recommend you check with the train operator that ;
the boarding access is suitable for the combined mass of
your scooter and the occupant; the slope of the access is
not greater than the maximum safe slope of the scooter;
any steps or risers are no greater than the maximum
height of the scooter obstacle climbing height; there is
adequate turning space within the access area to the
train and on the train.
Most train operators will provide assistance provided that
arrangements have been made in advance. We suggest
you have you Owner's Manual ready when planning your
journey and contacted them.
12.3 OTHER TRANSPORT REQUIREMENTS:
The scooter may be transported by road, rail, sea or air
as luggage.
Before you travel, please contact the appropriate carrier
or travel operator. You may be asked to provide certain
information about the scooter such as the scooter mass
and overall dimensions. This information can be found in
the relevant model tables in section 15.1.
If the scooter is transported by air, the batteries may
need to be removed as the batteries supplied are not
IATA approved for air travel. Your dealer can assist in
supplying batteries that are IATA approved.
If transporting the scooter by road as luggage, it may
need to be secured to prevent unintended movement into
other vehicle passengers in the event of a sudden stop or
placed in a space reserved for luggage. Your scooter can
be secured by attaching suitable restraints to the front
and rear bumpers as shown on the figure below.
WARNING!
Do not sit in your scooter when it is transported as
luggage.
