TRANSFER AND
TRANSPORT
The electric wheelchair must not be lifted
by its back support, leg supports, armrest
or upholstery!
Keep the seat height and seat tilt in the
base position during transport!
Always turn the electric wheelchair off
before lifting it!
Any parts that have been dismantled for
loading should be stored in a safe place
and carefully reassembled before driving.
No special precautions are needed (e.g.
fixation at support points) when trans-
porting the detachable parts.
To conserve space, the following measures
may be necessary during vehicular trans-
port:
–
Fold up the footplate or remove the leg
supports.
–
Adjust the back support.
Loading/unloading
The weight of the electric wheelchair is re-
duced when you remove detachable com-
ponents.
The wheelchair can be loaded/unloaded by
using a ramp or a lift.
Ramps and lifts
Make sure to follow the instructions for
the operating manual of the ramp or lift.
Note the manufacturer’s specifications for
the product.
The ramp's maximum indicated load
height must be greater than the height
(h) from the loading surface of the par-
ticular vehicle to the ground.
The load capacity of the ramp or lift must
be greater than the electric wheelchair’s
allowable total weight.
