WARNING
Risk of accident and injury due to incorrect transporta-
tion in aeroplanes. Within aeroplanes, power wheel-
chairs have to be transported in compliance with IATA
regulations (International Air Transport Association). To
this end, the fuse must always be removed and the battery
connectors must be insulated so that they are short-cir-
cuit-proof prior to check-in of the power wheelchair as
luggage.
Please note; batteries that are not leak proof or that might
not be transported in an upright position must be removed
and wrapped to ensure they are leak proof and short-cir-
cuit-proof.
For more information please visit the www.iata.org web-
site. Ottobock recommends directly contacting the airline
before every flight to obtain information regarding special
transport regulations.
