5. TRANSPORT & STORAGE
Environmental conditions for transport and storage:
Ambient temperature: 0°C to +50°C
Humidity: <80% RH
Follow these conditions when transporting or storing the powerchair:
• Store the powerchair fully folded, on a flat, level floor (see section 8.3).
• Always fully charge, then remove the battery prior to long-term storage.
• The powerchair should be stored in clean and dry conditions. Cover to protect from fluid ingress, dirt, dust etc.
• Powerchairs should not be stored on their side, on their backs, or stacked.
• When transporting powerchairs by vehicle, they should be securely stowed in the back of a van, truck, or boot of a
car. Adjustable parts should be removed or properly secured during transport.
• Keep the instructions for use with the powerchair or in a safe place.
Note: This vehicle is suitable for land and air transport, but contact your carrier in advance to determine their specific
requirements. The lithium battery pack may require special packaging and storage provisions in line with IATA or UN
guidelines. To remove the battery, press the release button and then pull forward on the handle.
If your powerchair is stored for a prolonged period, flat spots may develop in the wheels, causing an uneven sensation
when driving. This should work itself out over time. Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare Ltd. suggests placing a sturdy platform
under the frame to lift the wheels off the ground and take weight off the wheels during storage. If you notice flat spots
after continued use, replace the powerchair wheels immediately.
