6.3 Special shipping requirements

A wheelchair with power assist may be
transported by road, rail, sea or air and the
batteries conform to IATA regulations.
Caution!
Before you travel, please contact the
appropriate carrier. The travel operator will
be able to supply details of any special
requirements/instructions.
A certificate of conformity IATA 2.3.2.2
has been drawn to inform the operator
about the type of battery in your power
assist. Download the certificate on www.
SunriseMedical.eu or request a copy
from your retailer. The battery type is
also mentioned in chapter 9 Technical
specifications.
For information about dimensions and weight
of the power assist please refer to chapter 9
Technical specifications.
Ensure that any detachable parts are
secured with your mobility aid or separately
packed and labelled so they do not get lost
during loading and unloading.
We recommend to check in the batteries
individually packed and duly protected
against damage and short circuiting.
Clearly mention 'non-spillable battery' on
the transport packaging. Do not travel with
damaged or defect batteries.
Take this user manual with you. The carrier
will need to refer to the following sections:
• 6.1 Transport without occupant.
• Remove / placing the battery pack (see
4.3 Using the batteries)
• 4.6 Mounting and dismounting a power
assist
