Rules when loading wheelchairs

The following rules must be followed when loading:
› The maximum rated height indicated on the ramp must be greater than the height to be climbed from the
floor to the height of the supporting edge (in a car, for example, the floor of the car boot).
› Check the load capacity of the ramp(s), of the life or of the hoist.
› For safety reasons, your electric wheelchair should be loaded into a car or onto the necessary ramps only
unoccupied (without any person or baggage on board).
› The loading should be done only by persons familiar with the safe handling of your electric wheelchair.
› Any electric wheelchair not designed for driving may only be loaded by your authorised specialist work-
shop. Only such persons know the possible hazardous situations and how to prevent them.
