Safety Information And Precautions On How To Transport And Ship The Battery; Transportation - Sunrise Medical Empulse R20 User Manual

11.2 Safety information and precautions on how
to transport and ship the battery:
WARNING!
Lithium-ion cells are used in the battery. Transport and
shipping of the battery are, therefore, subject to all
applicable statutory requirements, which must be strictly
observed. For instance, a defective battery must never be
transported by plane.
If your battery is defective, take it personally to your
specialist dealer as shipping lithium-ion batteries by post
or other carriers is subject to strict rules and regulations.
Once again, we recommend that you contact your
specialist dealer.
As transport regulations may change annually, we
strongly recommend that you consult your travel operator,
airline or shipping line before you set out on your trip in
order to learn about the current applicable regulations. A
defective battery must not be taken on a plane or put in
your luggage.
CAUTION!
If your battery is fitted to the pushing device when being
transported, relaxed transport regulations apply in
accordance with UN3171.
Make sure you keep the packaging container of the
battery in case you need to transport it.
Discuss transportation with your specialist dealer prior to
shipping.

12. Transportation

The pushing device has not been designed for
transportation in a vehicle.
WARNING!
When transporting in a vehicle, do NOT remain seated in
the wheelchair with the pushing device fitted.
Always use a properly secured vehicle seat.
The product and all its components must be secured
during transport so that they are not damaged (e.g.
by falling over) and do not become any risk to other
people. In this case the pushing device can remain on
the wheelchair. The wheelchair can still be folded, even
with the pushing device fitted (in so far as this wheelchair
is able to fold). The procedure for folding/unfolding is
described in the user instructions from your wheelchair
manufacturer.
CAUTION!
When transporting make sure that the cables are not
caught up, become kinked or otherwise damaged.
The pushing device may not be used with damaged
cables.
Disassembly for transportation
For transportation, the pushing device can be removed
without the need for tools.
Open the lock by pressing the red lever (M) on both sides
and remove the pushing device from the wheelchair (Fig.
12.1).
