TRANSPORTING THE WHEELCHAIR
In addition to indoor use the RAPIDO is extremely suitable for taking along on a journey. A very
special purpose is thus simplicity of transport.
Remove the seat and the backrest unit (see the
sections “The back” and “The seat”).
Remove the battery cases (refer to the Section
“Removal and replacement of batteries”). Then the
wheelchair can be folded up after lifting the seat out,
by pressing the two armrests together
To re-assemble, fold the frame out, push the battery
cases inside, lay down the seat, and replace the
backrest unit and the footrests. The wheelchair can
thus quickly be prepared for driving.
The wheelchair should only be lifted by grasping solid fixed framework parts.
Note that scissor-like positions occur when folding the wheelchair. DANGER OF INJURY !!
To prevent damage, the steering and the armrests should be removed during transport.
If you want to take your electric wheelchair along in the car or if you require transport for yourself and
the wheelchair to a place of your choice, the following hints should be noted:
Never lift the wheelchair by grasping its leg supports, armrests or wheels, but only by using
fixed parts of the frame in the front and at the rear.
If you want to be taken up or down a staircase, tip the wheelchair slightly backwards. Then the
wheelchair can be rolled from step to step on the rear wheels. A second person should secure the
wheelchair in front by grasping the front wheels and moving backwards after the leg supports have
been removed.
At least two persons must help when stairs have to be taken.
Note that the legs of the user are not secure in the absence of foot
supports. Danger of injury !!
It is a good idea to use suitable safety belts during transportation (Information can be obtained
from your dealer.).
You should sit still in the wheelchair during transportation; avoid jerky movements.
If you are unable to sit still during the transportation because of illness or due to your handicap
(e.g. in the case of slightly spastic persons), then at least two more helpers are required, one
on each side, who hold on to fixed parts of the framework.
If an anti-tipping support is attached, it must be removed. Then you will not be protected
against tipping over backwards.
Make sure that the back unit is securely fixed.
Your arms and legs should not stick out from the wheelchair during transportation.
No persons or objects must be beneath the wheelchair when it is transported, otherwise there
is the danger of personal injury or damage to the wheelchair.
