Handling Your Omeo When
Transporting
The Batteries are contained within the device
and are ‘factory installed’ with no moving parts or
exposed wiring.
The switch for the drive Batteries (Lithium-ion) is
on the InfoKey™ Controller which must be within
2m (6.5ft) of your Omeo to function.
When you remove the InfoKey™ Controller from
the vicinity of your Omeo, the Omeo’s drive
Batteries cannot be switched on.
The Auxiliary Lead Acid Batteries remain
operational so that the Stabilising Legs may be
raised and lowered for secure storage.
Transportation Best ways to handle your Omeo
Air
It is recommended to transport your Omeo as checked in baggage with your
airline.
• Take a copy of Table 8 (Pg. 74) with you to give to the Airline upon check-in.
• We highly recommend that you use the Omeo travel cover
• Keep the Omeo powered o with the Stabilising Legs up. Fold the footrest up so
the Omeo can be tilted forward and rest on the edge of the footplate.
• Instruct the airlines on how to move the Omeo and advise them to tie down
using the tie down points or the Handgrips.
NOTICE
Do not instruct the Airlines on how to lower the Stabilising Legs. In doing so
you expose them to risk of damage.
TIP: we recommend that you allow plenty of time to check-in with your Omeo.
Freight
• We highly recommend that you use the Omeo travel cover
• Put the Omeo back into its original box
• Lower the Stabilising Legs
• Give to Freight company with instructions about the weight and hazardous
goods. (It might be helpful give the Freight company a copy of Table 8)
Alternatively, if you no longer have your Omeo’s original packaging, secure your
Omeo onto a pallet with the stabilizing legs down.
Personal Transport
(e.g. in your car)
• Use a ramp or hoist to get the Omeo into position in a vehicle safely
• The Walker Balance assist mode (Pg. 32) can help with this.
• Lower the Stabilisng Legs
• Secure using the tie down points and / or Handgrips
