vehicle seat! It does not fulfill the requirements
of ISO 7176-19.
–
Under no circumstances should this mobility device
be used as a vehicle seat or to transport the user in
a vehicle.
WARNING!
Risk of death or serious injury to the mobility
device user and potentially any other nearby
occupant of the vehicle, if a mobility device
is secured using a 4-point tie-down system
available from a third party supplier and the
unladen weight of the mobility device exceeds
the maximum weight for which the tie-down
system is certified.

Make sure the weight of the mobility device does not
exceed the weight for which the tie-down system
is certified. Consult the tie-down manufacturer's
documentation.
– If you are unsure how much your mobility device
weighs, then you must have it weighed using calibrated
scales.
8.2 Transferring the mobility device to a vehicle
WARNING!

is transferred to a vehicle while the user is still
seated in the mobility device
–
Transfer the mobility device without the user
whenever possible.

Ensure that the total weight of the mobility device
including the user does not exceed the maximum
permitted total weight for the ramp or platform lift.
