17.4. transportation on an airplane.
When transporting your wheelchair by air, you should primarily pay attention to
the following items:
Gel batteries:
In most cases, they do not need to be removed from the wheelchair. The batteries only need to be
disconnected from the wheelchair.
To do this simply disconnect on of the battery pole connectors.
position of the front batterie position of the rear battery (behind both covers)
Acid batteries:
Most airlines require that batteries be removed from the wheelchair and transported in special boxes that
the airline may provide.
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 minimize
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.
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.
