2.8.1 Transport in public transportation

In every public transportation, a spot must be
provided to place the wheelchair according to the EG-
guideline 2001/85/EG.
ATTENTION
The spot in public transportation is only arranged
for EMPTY wheelchairs.
ATTENTION
Place the wheelchair in the provided area opposite
the driving direction so that the backrest and a side
guard rest securely on the edge of the provided
area.
• The wheelchair is not allowed to shift in case
of an accident.
• Close the wheel lock.
• During the drive leave the wheelchair and
seat yourself in the provided seat next to the
spot for your wheelchair.
• If available, use the seat belt!
Let someone help you get in and out of the public
transportation,
• so that you don't get stuck in the crack be-
tween the door and the sidewalk,
• so that you don't panic,
• so that your claim for the marked seat possi-
bly gets more emphasis,
• so that you can be helped getting into the
seat and tying down the wheelchair.

2.8.2 Transport in other vehicles

Wheelchairs can never reach the stabile features of a
firmly mounted car seat because of their purpose and
light build.
ATTENTION
Thus, we recommend you to NOT use the
wheelchair as a seat while transporting in a
vehicle.
READ
Read our info-brochure "Crash Test ISO 7176-19".
Here, the potential dangers and regulations of the
ISO 7176-19 are described.
ATTENTION
Only wheelchairs that have successfully passed a
dynamic crash test according to ISO 7176-19 are
allowed to be used as a seat in a vehicle.

Our successfully tested
wheelchairs are provided
with this international
symbol on the type sign
and are additionally
marked on our order
form with our "crash test
button".
If necessary, inform
yourself by your
retailer or under www.
sorgrollstuhltechnik.de, if
your model is approved as
a seat in a vehicle.

OTHER RISKS

�INDICATION
Avoid direct sunrays. Dark parts on the wheelchair
can heat quickly and can possibly cause burns.
ATTENTION
FIRE RISK from the textile parts (seat shell
covering or plastic parts). Keep sources of ignition
away from the wheelchair.
�INDICATION
For sensitive skin we recommend to wear gloves as
used for cycling (finger stalls with a leather inner
surface----but NEVER wool gloves)
ATTENTION
RISK OF HAND INJURY from turning parts. Do not
grab in between the spokes of the rear wheel or
between the rear wheel and the knee lever brake.
ATTENTION
Do not use the wheelchair in damp rooms or drive
in salt water with it. Important parts may corrode
and not work properly anymore, whereby the driving
qualities or the lifespan of the wheelchair are
negatively influenced.
