Transport And Storage; Transport In A Motor Vehicle; Disassembling The A200 Power Wheelchair - Otto Bock A 200 Bedienungsanleitung

6 Transport and Storage

The A200 can be transported both as power wheelchair ready to start or in disassembled condition.

6.1 Transport in a Motor Vehicle

During transport the wheelchair must be fully secured by means of tension straps. The frame of the A200 has
four fixing eyelets for the attachment of straps. The temperature during transport and storage must be between
-25°C and +50°C. The wheelchair control must be switched off and the brake engaged during transport.
We recommend whereever and whenever possible, wheelchair users transfer to the seats installed in the motor
vehicle and use the corresponding vehicle restraint systems, because this is the only way to ensure optimal pro-
tection of the passengers in case of an accident. For the time being, Otto Bock has not yet released the A200
Power Wheelchair for use as a seat for transportion in motor vehicles; the release is currently being prepared,
however. If need be, please ask for information on the current state of our measures under the following ad-

6.2 Disassembling the A200 Power Wheelchair

To reduce the folding size for transport of the power wheelchair, it can be easily disassembled.
Please observe the following order for disassembly:
1. Remove the footrests.
2. Loosen the joystick control panel mounting screw, remove the control panel to the rear and deposit it beside
the wheelchair.
3. Remove the side panels.
4. Fold the backrest down to the front (Fig. 1).
Figure 1
5. Release the seat lock by simultaneously pulling the release strap and folding the locking bar to the rear
(Fig. 2).
6. Remove the battery packs by releasing the Lock Lever (Fig. 6).
7. Separate the frame from the drive unit assembly.
Place your weight on the mounting of the anti-tipper above the wheels so the wheels touch the ground
(Fig. 3). Next, separate the frame from the drive unit assembly by slightly lifting the frame and pulling it to
the rear (Fig. 4).
8. Fold the seat base onto the frame.
To do this loosen the two quick release levers of the anterior seat brackets and fold the seat base down
whilst simultaneously lifting the brackets slightly and pushing them to the rear (Fig. 5).
