•

5.7 Transporting the scooter fully assembled
The following guidelines must be followed to transport the Fortress 1700 DT
or TA scooter fully assembled in a vehicle that is suitable for this purpose:
If the scooter must be lifted into the vehicle, never lift the scooter by
its plastic covers and do not attempt to lift it by yourself. If your
scooter can fit into a vehicle fully assembled, DO NOT use your
scooter as a passenger seat in the transporting vehicle. You must
transfer to a regular car seat, even if the vehicle concerned has been
adapted for the transport of scooters. The reason is that the
Fortress 1700 DT/TA cannot offer the safety that is offered by
standard car seats, no matter how well it is fixed to the vehicle
concerned.
After the scooter has been placed inside the vehicle, you must make
sure that the scooter is not in the free-wheel position.
The scooter should be secured with an approved securement
system. Handicare makes no representation of suitability for use
with specific securement systems. Handicare also cannot anticipate
the situations that may arise in use of public transportation
systems. For instructions on how to use a given securement
system, please consult its manufacturer and its operating
instructions. In the case of public transit please refer to the
municipal transit authority.
Note that any disassembled scooter components that are unsecured
in the vehicle can cause damage as a result of sudden vehicle
movements.
