Transport of the Power Wheelchair

WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to loosening plug and
screw connections. Screw and plug connections must be
loosened for all adjustment work and when folding the
back rest for transportation. This can cause uncontrolled
movements of wheelchair components. To avoid injuries at
pinch and shear points, carry out such tasks with the sup-
port of another person. Ensure that body parts such as the
hands or head are kept out of the danger zone at all times.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to insufficient restraints. Secure the
power wheelchair during transportation in another vehicle
by tightening the tensioning straps properly. Only attach
tensioning straps to the corresponding eyebolts and speci-
fied mounting points.
CAUTION
Risk of pinching or crushing in the pivot range of the
footplate(s). Ensure limbs are clear of the danger zone
when folding the footrests up or down.
