4.7.1 Batteries
The main circuit breaker must always be in the off position. In most cases, gel
batteries do not have to be removed from the wheelchair.
4.7.2 Weight and dimensions
Contact the relevant airline for applicable rules on weight and dimensions for
your power wheelchair.
4.7.3 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 minimise
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 hoods.
