information about the wheelchairsuch as the wheelchair
mass and overall dimensions. This information can be
found in the relevant model tables in section 14.0.

need to be removed as the batteries supplied are not
IATA approved for air travel. Your dealer can assist in
supplying batteries that are IATA approved.
If transporting the wheelchair by road as luggage, it may

into other vehicle passengers in the event of a sudden
stop or placed in a space reserved for luggage. Your
