Transport
Warning
Transport
The wheelchair MUST be transported in or with transport solutions that have been approved by the
Company for this purpose.
Always obtain confirmation from the transporter that the vehicle is suitably designed, insured and
equipped to transport a person in a wheelchair.
Check that the wheelchair is properly secured and that the wheels are connected to the motor.
Refer to section 6.10: Rolling Free of the Motor. Failure to properly secure the wheelchair can
cause serious injury to persons in the vehicle and serious damage to the vehicle.
Do not carry passengers on the wheelchair. Doing so can lead to personal injury and damage to
the wheelchair.
The harness, foot straps, knee supports and hip belt are designed only to secure the user in the
wheelchair. These are not meant to act as safety belts while sitting in the wheelchair in a van or
other moving vehicle.
2.3.2.3.
Excessive Surface Temperatures
Warning
Avoid physical contact with any motor of the wheelchair. The motors are continuously in motion
during use and can reach high temperatures. After use, the motors will cool down slowly. Physical
contact may cause burns.
Ensure that the wheelchair is not exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Certain
parts of the wheelchair, such as the seat, the backrest and the armrests, can become hot if
exposed to the sun for too long. This may cause burns or skin irritation.
