Transport

The wheelchair must only be transported in a vehicle that is approved for such
purposes.
Check that the wheelchair is properly fastened and that the wheel locks are
engaged. The wheelchair can be locked into position by running fastening straps
through the brackets in the front and the back, each marked with a yellow sticker.
Secure the wheelchair according to the manufacturer of the vehicle restraint sys-
tems instructions. Always make sure that the fastening points on the transport
vehicle are well-anchored.

WARNING
Use Prohibited in Motor Vehicles
Currently, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down or restraint system in
a moving vehicle of any type to transport a person while seated in a wheelchair.
Permobil recommends that users NOT be transported in any kind of vehicle while in their wheel-
chair. The only safe alternative is that users be transferred into factory vehicle seating for trans-
portation and use safety restraints made available by the auto industry. Permobil does not recom-
mend any wheelchair transportation systems.
Never sit in your wheelchair while in a moving vehicle. In an accident or sudden stop you may be
thrown from the chair and seriously injured or killed.
Permobil positioning belts are designed to position the user only and will not protect you in an acci-
dent. You may even receive further injury from the belts.
When transporting the wheelchair in a vehicle, ensure that the wheelchair is properly secured. If
the chair is not properly secured and comes loose, it can cause serious injury to persons in the
vehicle and serious damage to the vehicle.
