off before lifting!
The parts detached for loading must be
carefully stowed and carefully attached
again before the next journey.

hicles:

surface, e.g. of the car.
The load capacity of the ramp or lifting
platform must be higher than the overall
permitted weight of the electric wheel-
chair.
There is a danger of tilting when driving
