Usage
► Only use sufficiently large hoisting devices to transport
the power wheelchair (see the "Technical Data"
chapter for the weight of the power wheelchair).
► Attendants may only lift the power wheelchair by solidly
attached components. Footrests or armrests may not
be used as lifting points.
WARNING
Improper transportation in aircraft
Burns, explosion or damage to the battery due to failure to
observe the rules for transportation
► Follow the IATA (International Air Transport Associ
ation) rules when transporting the power wheelchair in
an aircraft. To this end, the fuse must always be
removed and the battery connectors must be insulated
so that they are short-circuit-proof prior to check-in of
the power wheelchair as luggage.
► Note that those batteries in particular which may leak
or will not be transported upright must be removed and
packaged so they cannot leak or short circuit.
► For more information please visit the www.iata.org
website. The manufacturer recommends contacting the
airline directly before every flight to obtain information
regarding special transport regulations.
