13.7 Special shipping requirements:
The wheelchair may be transported by road, rail, sea or
air and the batteries conform to IATA regulations.
CAUTION!
Before you travel, please contact the appropriate carrier.
The travel operator will be able to supply details of any
special requirements/instructions.
Ensure that any detachable parts are secured with your
mobility aid or separately packed and labelled so they do
not get lost during loading and unloading.
Take this Owner’s Manual with you and if fitted
take the R-net Owner’s Manual also.
The carrier will need to refer to the following sections.
How to lock/unlock the Joystick, (Section 7.3),
(Section 4.32 R-Net Owners Manual).
How to disconnect the batteries, (Section 12.1).
How to disconnect the drive, (Section 5.4).
13.8 Medium to long term storage:
When storing your wheelchair for long periods of time (in
excess of one week), follow these simple instructions:
Fully charge the wheelchair for at least 24 hours.
Disconnect the batteries or battery boxes.
WARNING!
•
Never store your wheelchair;
•
Outside.
•
In direct sunlight, (plastic parts may discolour).
•
Near a source of direct heat.
•
In a damp environment.
•
In a cold environment.
•
With the batteries/battery boxes connected, (even if
the controller is switched off).
Avoiding all of the above will minimise battery deep cycle
discharge and extend battery lifetime.
When returning the wheelchair to use, please reconnect
the batteries/battery boxes and charge the wheelchair
for at least 24 hours before use.
13.5 Using your Wheelchair on the train:
If you wish to use your wheelchair on the train, we
recommend that you contact the train operator in
advance when planning your journey. Railway carriages
have provision for a “wheelchair” space where you can sit
on your wheelchair during the journey.
When planning your journey, you should check with the
train operator that there will be suitable boarding access
available to allow you to access the railway carriage and
the intended “wheelchair” space on joining and leaving
the train and there is suitable access onto the platform.
We recommend you check with the train operator that :
The boarding access is suitable for the combined mass
of your wheelchair and the occupant; the slope of the
access is not greater than the maximum safe slope of
the wheelchair; any steps or risers are no greater than
the maximum height of the wheelchair obstacle climbing
height; there is adequate turning space within the access
area to the train and on the train.
Most train operators will provide assistance provided that
arrangements have been made in advance. We suggest
you have you Owner’s Manual ready when planning your
journey and contacted them.
13.6 Other Transport requirements:
The wheelchair may be transported by road, rail, sea or
air as luggage.
Before you travel, please contact the appropriate carrier
or travel operator. You may be asked to provide certain
information about the wheelchair such as the wheelchair
mass and overall dimensions. This information can be
found in the Technical Specifications in section 15.1.
If transporting the wheelchair by road as luggage, it may
need to be secured to prevent unintended movement into
other vehicle passengers in the event of a sudden stop or
placed in a space reserved for luggage. Your wheelchair
can be secured by attaching suitable restraints to the
front and rear tie down points as shown previously
WARNING!
Do not sit in your wheelchair when it is transported as
luggage only.
