2.5 Transporting and storing the wheels as vehicle luggage
• The twion wheels must be switched off before removing them from the wheelchair.
• If the twion wheels are taken off of the wheelchair, they must not be lifted or carried
by the push rims [4]. This could damage the fitted sensors. Instead, carry the twion
wheel by its rim. At this point there is no danger of damaging the wheel.
• When laying the wheel down or setting it aside, take care of the fins [5] and the stub
axle [6] on the rear of the wheel. Neither part should be damaged.
• To transport the wheelchair, follow the instructions of the wheelchair manufacturer.
You might need to secure the wheelchair or certain components.
• We recommend always removing the twion wheels from the wheelchair and transport-
ing them individually. In doing so, the stub axle [6] should be removed entirely from
the wheels.
• The wheels should be stored or transported on their rear side or standing up.
• During transport, the wheels must be properly secured so that they do not pose a risk
to the driver or passengers in the event of a sudden brake manoeuvre. To secure the
wheels we recommend securing them in the vehicle with sufficiently robust straps as
shown in the diagram. Please note that this is a non-binding recommendation (we
accept no liability).
Do not attach the straps to the push rims [4] because this could dam-
age their sensors.
•
Please check whether there are specific regulations regarding the securing of wheel-
chairs and wheels for transport in your jurisdiction and strictly adhere to these regu-
lations.
• Ulrich Alber GmbH and its agents shall not be liable for any damage resulting from
non-compliance with these instructions.
• If you wish to transport your wheelchair in its entirety, without dismantling the
wheels, the wheelchair must be protected in accordance with the guidelines or spe-
cifications of the wheelchair manufacturer. The adjacent diagram is just an example.
The use of the wheelchair with attached twion wheels as a vehicle
seat is not permitted.
