Preventing damage to wheelchair
Since the wheelchair will be put with other goods in a confined space during
the flight, it is important to take preventive measures to minimize
transportation damage to the wheelchair.
Cover the control panel and other sensitive objects with soft, shock-absorbing
material (foam plastic or similar). Push the control panel toward the backrest.
Tape any loose cables to the seat or covers.
