Transporting the wheelchair

4.4.1

Vehicle transportation

The wheelchair may only be transported in vehicles approved for
this purpose.
Check that the wheelchair is properly secured and that the wheel
locks are engaged. When being transporting in a vehicle, the
wheelchair must be secured in position by attaching straps to the tie-
down eyes at the front and rear, marked with yellow stickers.
Secure the wheelchair according to the instructions from the
manufacturer of the approved vehicle restraint system. Always make
sure that the tie-down points in the transporting vehicle are well-
anchored.
To make transportation of the wheelchair easier, the backrest can
be removed or folded down in a few simple moves; see
4.1.3.1 Removing backrest , Page 139
If necessary, the headrest can also be removed; see
4.1.1 Headrest , Page 133
