Preparing for use
4.4.2.2 The wheelchair’s dimensions and weight
The wheelchair‘s weight and dimensions are important, depending
on the size and type of aeroplane in which the wheelchair is to be
transported. Always check with the airline what rules apply.
4.4.2.3 Preventing damage to wheelchair
Since the wheelchair will be put with other goods in a confined
space during the flight, it is important to take preventive measures to
minimise transportation damage to the wheelchair.
Cover the control panel with soft, shock-absorbing material (foam
plastic or similar) and turn the control panel in towards the backrest.
Protect other protruding objects in a similar manner. Where
possible, adjust parts to the folded position. Tape any loose cables to
the seat or hoods.
4.4.3 Rail transportation
Directive 2008/57/EC concerns the interoperability of the
European rail network. A part of this directive contains limits for
weights and dimensions. In some configurations this product might
deviate from the limits specified.
