Transferring the wheelchair to a vehicle

WARNING: Danger of tipping over, if the wheelchair is transferred to a vehicle using a
ramp that exceeds the maximum safe slope, or if the backrest is not in an upright position
during transfer!
• If the wheelchair has to be transferred to a vehicle using a ramp that exceeds the maximum
safe slope (see Chapter "Technical Specifications" starting on page 119), then a winch
must be used! An attendant can then safely oversee and assist the transfer process!
• If no winch is installed, then the wheelchair must not be transferred to a vehicle using a ramp
that exceeds the maximum safe slope!
• Alternatively, a tail lift installed in the vehicle may be used!
• Only ever transfer the wheelchair to a vehicle with the backrest in an upright position!
• Drive or push your wheelchair into the transport vehicle using a suitable ramp.
