5.7 Transporting the wheelchair
First of all we have to point out that transporting a person sitting in a wheelchair
signifies a considerable security risk!
In principle, a wheelchair may only be transported unoccupied!
Therefore, transporting and securing a wheelchair in a vehicle, with or without
occupant, is always at your own risk. Sorg Rollstuhltechnik GmbH & Co.KG will not be
liable for injured people or damaged materials, resulting from such a transport.
At its immovable points the unoccupied wheelchair must be secured in the vehicle
with suitable securing devices, so it will not put passengers in danger in case of a
sudden brake manoeuvre!
In order to transport a wheelchair as instructed, it must absolutely be equipped with
an AMF-system or a similar retention system with MOT-certificate (Technical Authority
Inspection). In addition to this, the vehicle must be equipped with a headrest, firmly
connected with the vehicle, as well as with an integrated person retention system on
the basis of three point seatbelt if the wheelchair is to be transported together with its
occupant.

5.8 Rolling off
With the tilt clip, the assistant may tilt the wheelchair and then pull the chair
backwards over the obstacle on the tubes of the sliding handles.
Safety precautions:
In no circumstances you may pull the wheelchair on the sliding rod, nor on the
extendable sliding handles or the sliding handle caps. The sliding rod or the
extendable sliding handles could unintentionally be tightened improperly, meaning
that the respective sliding handles could be loosened resulting in bad injuries.
For your safety, a second person should support and safeguard the action beneath
the wheelchair – only use the frame, not the leg supports!
5.9 Carrying
Your child should, together with its wheelchair, be carried by an assistant only in
extremely seldom exceptions. To the most part it will be easier rolling off the
wheelchair over the obstacle with its driving wheels! And if it really should be
unavoidable, only frame and back tubes are suited for carrying.
Safety precautions:
The extendable sliding handles, as well, may in no circumstances be used for carrying
the wheelchair. When wheeling with your chair, never use escalators! Not even with an
assistant and especially not being carried! Department stores and public institutions
with escalators always have suitable elevators.
