Owner's Manual Permobil F5 Corpus
L
CAUTION!
If you do not know what type of main fuse your wheelchair has, contact Permobil or your service contact. Some
airlines may refuse to accept acid batteries on board.
To ensure that the wheelchair can be transported safely and no nasty surprises crop up at the last minute, you
should always contact the airline before you travel.
2. The wheelchair´s dimensions and weight
How much the wheelchair weighs and how large it is are important, depending on the type of airplane in which the
wheelchair is to be transported. The smaller the airplane is, the smaller the wheelchair may be/weigh and vice versa.
Always check with the airline what rules apply.
3. Preventing damage
When transported by air, the wheelchair will be put with other goods in a confined space. Therefore, it is important to
take preventive action to minimise transport damage to the wheelchair.
Cover the control panel with soft, shock-absorbing material (foam plastic or similar) and fold it in towards the back rest.
Protect other protruding objects in a similar manner. Tape any loose cables to the seat or covers.
