5 TRANSPORTING THE TRANSPORT CHAIR
PREPARING THE EJ78X-1 / EJ79X-1 FOR TRANSPORT
WARNING: This Transport Chair does not offer seating or occupant restraint equivalent to the
seat provided in a motor vehicle! To increase your safety while traveling in a motor vehicle,
always transfer to the vehicle seat and use the restraint provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
When transporting the Transport Chair in a motor vehicle, do not place the Transport
Chair where it will interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle or endanger the driver or
passengers. The front seat is not a good location to store a Transport Chair during transport,
as the Transport Chair can be dislodged and become a serious hazard to the vehicle driver.
Always take precautions to avoid personal injury when loading or lifting a Transport Chair into
or out of a vehicle. The Transport Chair can easily be transported in the back seat or the trunk.
