2.4.3 Transport by vehicle, as luggage
The best way to transport your electric wheelchair in the car is to drive it by using ramps. If you
are not experienced to drive the electric wheelchair using ramps, you can put the wheelchair in
neutral mode and push the wheelchair in the car using ramps. If necessary, disassemble the
wheelchair.
1. As the wheelchair user, transfer to a car seat, see §3.5.
2. Remove all moveable parts prior to transport.
3. Store moveable parts safely behind the passenger seat or in the luggage compartment.
4. Drive or push the electric wheelchair in the car using ramps, or lift the wheelchair in the car
with the help of 2 persons by grasping the fixed parts of the frames.
5. Attach the solid parts of the frame securely to the vehicle (see illustration).
6. Place the wheelchair in drive mode (engaging the parking brakes) and check that the
operating console is switched off.
2.5 First use and storage
• Never completely discharge the battery.
• Do not interrupt the charging cycle; only disconnect the battery charger when the battery is
fully charged.
• Make sure that your wheelchair is stored dry to prevent mould from growing and the upholstery
from being damaged.
• Check the technical details for storage, see chapter 5.
Ensure that the battery has been fully charged before using your wheelchair, ask your dealer if
this has already been done or not. To charge, follow the charging instructions in §3.8.
• Do NOT use your wheelchair as seat in a vehicle, see the following symbol.
• Never use the same safety belt for passenger and wheelchair.
