5 TRANSPORTING THE EJ78X-1 TRANSPORT CHAIR
PREPARING THE EJ78X-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 passen-
gers. 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.
