in the mobility device
-Transfer the mobility device without the user
whenever possible.
-If the mobility device with the user has to
be transferred to a vehicle using a ramp,
ensure the ramp is properly secured. Refer

-If the mobility device has to be transferred to a
vehicle using a ramp that does exceed the rated
slope (refer to Chapter 13 Technical Data, page 92),
a winch (a chain or wire rope attached to a drum
with a crank) must be used to transfer the
wheelchair into the vehicle. Ensure the winch has a
rated weight capacity greater than the weight of the
wheelchair. Refer to the winch instructions. An
attendant can then safely monitor and assist the
transfer process.
