transport with someone pushing the transport chair. Transport chairs are not intended for
independent use by transport chair-bound individuals. The design does not allow
maneuvering by the occupant.
DO NOT use the transport chair in a vehicle for transport. This transport chair has not been
approved as a seat surface to be used within a vehicle of any kind. Always transfer the
transport chair user to an approved vehicle seat and use restraints available from the auto
industry for this application.

includes the weight of the rider plus items carried or attached to the transport chair.
