TRANSPORTING YOUR CHAIR
If you will be traveling with your power chair, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product or
portable ramp to aid in transportation. ActiveCare suggests you closely review the instructions,
specifications, and safety information included with the lift/elevation product before using that product.
Warning!
Never sit on your power chair when it is being used in connection with any type of
lift/elevation product or portable ramp. Your power chair was not designed with such
use in mind and any damage or injury incurred from such use is not the responsibility
of ActiveCare.
ActiveCare recommends that you do not remain seated in your power chair while traveling in a motor
vehicle. The power chair should be stowed in the trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or van with
batteries removed and properly secured.
