7.13.1 Safety instructions
WARNING
Improper transport in aircraft
Burns, explosion or damage to the battery due to failure to observe the rules for transportation
► Follow the rules of the IATA (International Air Transport Association) and the respective airline when trans
porting the power wheelchair in an aircraft. Before checking the power wheelchair as luggage, the connection
between the battery and control device always has to be disconnected. To do so, disconnect the plug of the
battery cable from the controller and insulate the battery cable plug to prevent short circuits.
► Note that batteries, especially if they are not leak proof and have to be transported upright, need to be
removed and packaged to exclude the possibility of leaks/short circuits.
► Visit www.iata.org for further information. The manufacturer recommends contacting the airline directly before
every flight to obtain information regarding special transport regulations.
► Use the SSR (special service request) codes to describe the type of limited mobility if necessary. You can
for example research these on the Internet.
CAUTION
Securing the power wheelchair insufficiently during transport
Crushing, pinching of body parts due to failure to observe transportation instructions
► During transportation in vehicles or aircraft, on lifting platforms or in lifts, turn the control unit of the power
wheelchair off and lock the brake.
► The power wheelchair must be secured in accordance with the regulations for the transport device.
► During transport in a vehicle, the power wheelchair must be secured sufficiently with cargo straps. Only
attach the cargo straps to the corresponding transportation eyelets and specified tie-down points.
