X I I I . T r a n s p o r t
When loading the wheelchair into a vehicle, always follow the following guidelines:
1. Remove the battery, so that the current is not inadvertently switched on during

transport.

NOTE– Always fit the protective cap on the battery you have removed. If the connect-
ing parts are not covered, there is the risk of a short circuit.
2. Apply the wheel locks to both wheels, so that they cannot revolve.

NOTE– • Flip up footplates.
• Grasp the seat upholstery at the front and back and pull upwards. Fold in
handles.
4. Hold the wheelchair frame firmly with both hands and lift into the vehicle.
NOTE– Do not lift the wheelchair by its handrims, the battery or the cable. This could
cause damage.
5. During transport, place a cushion or something similar under the wheelchair so
that it does not rattle.
6. After transporting, set up the wheelchair again by reversing the steps above.
IMPORTANT– do not place hands or fingers beside or under the seat tube.
