Transporting the Wheelchair
To make the wheelchair as convenient as possible to transport, all
detachable parts (footrests, wheels, slot-in accessories) must be
removed and the wheelchair folded.

vehicle by the symbols on the frame (Fig. A and Fig. B).

attachment points are not authorised by the manufacturer.

current regulations on transportation and use of the disabled vehicle
and restraint system.
• 4-point restraint systems anchored to the vehicle must be used to
restrain the wheelchair.
• Detachable parts and accessories on the wheelchair, such as trays and
bags, should, where possible, be removed and safely stowed in the
boot.
