TRANSPORTING YOUR POWER WHEELCHAIR
When transporting your power wheelchair by vehicle it should be securely stowed in
the back of a van, truck, or trunk of a car. Adjustable parts should be removed or
properly secured during transport.
WARNING – Do not sit in your power wheelchair while in a moving
vehicle.
SAFETY BELT
A safety belt is included with your power wheelchair. Your authorized Drive Medical
Provider, assistive technology therapist, or healthcare professional are responsible for
determining your requirement for a safety belt to operate your power wheelchair
safely. Once determined, securely fasten the safety belt.
WARNING – The safety belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a
motor vehicle, or any other transportation device.
TRANSFERS
Always have an attendant present while transferring in and out of your power
wheelchair.
ATTENTION – To reduce the possibility of an injury; perform transfers
after the following steps are followed:
Safely reduce the distance between your power wheelchair and the object you are
transferring onto, ensure your power wheelchair is not in freewheel mode, turn the
power off, flip up or remove the armrests, and flip up the foot platform or swing aside
the leg rests.
WARNING – Position yourself as far back possible before transferring, and
never place your weight or downward force on the joystick.
