Preparing the EJ777-1 for transport
WARNING: This transport chair does not offer seating or occupant restraint equiva- lent 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 haz- ard to the vehicle driver. Always take precautions to avoid personal injury when load- ing or lifting a transport chair into or out of a vehicle. The transport chair can easily be transported in the rear seat or the trunk.
