HoverliftManual-RevC 7/8/13 1:01 PM Page 15 How to load and secure your Hoveround® for transport The following instructions apply to both the MPV5 and TEKNIQUE products. Please see the installation instructions supplied with the seat brackets in the HOVERLIFT® kit for preparing your power chair to be transported. Place the vehicle on flat level surface free from traffic hazards with the emergency brake on. Make sure there is a clear path to the lift and there are no obstructions under lift. Remove accessories such as elevating leg rests, oxygen bottles, special cushions or other loose items that might fall off the chair while it is being transported, or that might interfere with the lift or lift movement. MPV5 models require a Velcro strap to be wrapped under the base and over the batteries to prevent losing the batteries during transport. If the platform is not in the down position, see instructions for lowering the lift and platform in Chapter 3. Drive the power chair to line up with the platform. Put the footplate in the up position. Stand at the controller side of the chair and put the control in low speed (see Figure 2A).
