Preventing damage to wheelchair
Since the wheelchair will be put with other goods in a confined
space during air the flight, it is important to take preventive measures
to minimize transportation damage to the wheelchair.
Cover the control panel with soft, shock-absorbing material (foam
plastic or similar) and turn the control panel in towards the backrest.
Protect other protruding objects in a similar manner. Where
possible, adjust parts to the folded position. Tape any loose cables to
the seat or covers.
