8.2 Transferring the mobility device to a vehicle

WARNING!
The mobility device is in danger of tipping over
if it is transferred to a vehicle while the driver is
still seated in the mobility device
– Transfer the mobility device without the driver
whenever possible.
– If the mobility device with the driver has to be
transferred to a vehicle using a ramp, ensure that the
ramp does not exceed the maximum safe slope (refer
to 11 Technical data, page102 ).
– If the mobility device has to be transferred to a vehicle
using a ramp that does exceed the maximum safe
slope (refer to 11 Technical data, page102 ), 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 Driving up and down gradients).
