WARNING
Transport
The wheelchair must only be transported in vehicles approved for this purpose.
Carefully check that the wheelchair is properly fixed and that the brake release
has not been activated (the wheelchair drive wheels must be locked). The
wheelchair can be locked in position with loading straps from the transport
eyes at the front and rear, marked with yellow stickers.
Anchor the wheelchair with the vehicle's anchoring system and according to
the manufacturer's instructions. Always check that the fixing points on the
transport vehicle are well anchored.
An inadequately fixed wheelchair could cause great damage and injury if it
broke loose, both to persons in the transport vehicle and to the vehicle and the
wheelchair itself.
Permobil recommends that users are NOT transported in any vehicle while
seated in the wheelchair. The only safe alternative is for the user to move to a
seat in the vehicle and to use the vehicle's safety belt system.
Do not sit in the wheelchair in a moving vehicle. In the case of accident or a
sudden stop, the user could be thrown from the chair with serious injuries as a
consequence.
Permobil's fixing belt is only designed to hold the user in place and gives no
protection in the case of accident.
