Lifting Points

Scewo does not advise lifting the device, but rather recommends using a ramp to lift it onto lifting platforms or other similar elevated obstacles.

Never lift while in drive mode

Never lift the wheelchair while it is in drive mode! If the wheelchair tips only slightly in one direction, the motors may instantly accelerate to maximum speed and the wheelchair may start to move uncontrollably and may cause injury to you and bystanders.

Switch the device off before lifting it

Before lifting the device, turn it off completely with the main switch.

If the wheelchair needs to be lifted, e.g. with a crane, use the securement points for fastening it in a car (car passenger mode). Scewo recommends that you always use all four securement points simultaneously to ensure the wheelchair is raised in a stable manner.

Move seat lift backwards prior to lifting

Move the seat lift as far back as possible at the fixing points before lifting the wheelchair. This will minimise both the load and the length of your device. Damage may be caused to the device if the seat lift is extended too far when it is lifted.

Never lift at any other points

Never lift the wheelchair with a crane or similar at any other points than the securement points! These points are not designed to withstand a load like this and could break.
