13 Transport
CAUTION: Injury hazard or material
damage if a power wheelchair which is
fitted with a table is transported in a
vehicle!
• If a table is fitted, always remove it before
transporting the wheelchair.
13.1 Transferring the wheelchair to a vehicle
WARNING: The wheelchair is in danger of tipping over if it is transferred to a vehicle while
the driver is still seated in the wheelchair!
• Transfer the wheelchair without the driver whenever possible!
•
If the wheelchair with the driver has to be transferred to a vehicle using a ramp, ensure that
the ramp does not exceed the maximum safe slope (see chapter
"Technical specifications"
starting on page 105)!
•
If the wheelchair has to be transferred to a vehicle using a ramp that does exceed the
maximum safe slope (see chapter
"Technical specifications" starting on page 105), a winch
must then be used! An attendant can then safely monitor and assist the transfer process!
•
Alternatively, a platform lift may be used!
•
Ensure that the total weight of the power wheelchair including the user does not exceed the
maximum permitted total weight for the ramp or platform lift!
• The wheelchair should always be transferred to a vehicle with the backrest in an upright
position, the seat lifter lowered and the seat tilt in the upright position (see chapter
"Driving
up and down gradients " on page 36)!
