6 TRANSPORTING OR STORING THE TRAVELER L3 PLUS
WARNING: This wheelchair does not offer seating or occupant restraint equivalent to
the seat provided in a motor vehicle! To increase your safety while traveling in a motor
vehicle, always transfer to the vehicle seat and use the restraint provided by the vehicle
manufacturer.
PREPARATION FOR TRANSPORT / FOLDING THE WHEELCHAIR
WARNING: When folding or unfolding the wheelchair, do not place your fingers or hands
under the seat rail or between the seat rail and side panel.
The Traveler L3 Plus can easily be transported by folding the wheelchair:
1. Detach footrests or legrests from wheelchair.
2. Remove the seat cushion, if so equipped.
3. Grab the seat upholstery at center front and rear with both hands, pull sharply, and lift up as
shown at above left.
4. If necessary, fold the excess seat upholstery over the arm.
5. To fold wheelchair completely, tip it sideways so wheel won’t drag and press sides together as
shown at above right.
TRANSPORTING THE WHEELCHAIR
When transporting the wheelchair in a motor vehicle, do not place the wheelchair where it will
interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle or endanger the driver or passengers. The front
seat IS NOT a good location to store a wheelchair during transport — it can be dislodged and
become a serious hazard to the driver. Always take precautions to avoid personal injury when
loading or lifting a wheelchair into or out of a vehicle.
