6.13 Transport wheels
CAUTION
Knee lever wheel lock when the rear wheels are removed
Risk of accident, falling due to loss of functionality of the knee lever wheel lock
► Note that a wheelchair with transport wheels can only be braked by an attendant.
The transport wheels permit movement through very narrow passages (e.g. in trains or aircraft).
Transport wheels take the place of the rear wheels. In order to move, an attendant is required to push the wheel­
chair.
6.13.1 Using the transport wheels
> Prior to use, verify whether the transport wheels have been set to the same height.
1) Pull off the rear wheels.
Whenever possible, this should be done when the user is not sitting in the wheelchair. If the user is sitting in
the wheelchair, proceed as follows:
2) The first attendant holds the wheelchair in a stable position so that the rear wheels are relieved in turn.
3) The second attendant carefully removes the first and second rear wheel one after the other.
→ The wheelchair can now be pushed on the transport wheels.
6.14 Transfer version
The transfer version with 12" rear wheel is especially well suited for patient transfer.
Here the user is pushed by an attendant.
The wheel locks can be engaged and released by the attendant, respectively using the hands.

•

INFORMATION
►
When transporting the wheelchair in vehicles, fold it up and remove the wheels and footrests if necessary.
► Follow the IATA (International Air Transport Association) rules and those of the relevant airline when trans­
porting the wheelchair in an aircraft. Inform the airline several days before your flight. Use the SSR (special
service request) codes to describe the type of limited mobility if necessary. These can be searched in the
internet, for example.

trated).
