Transport
The system requires tie-down rails to be
mounted in the car. The chair must then always
be strapped to the four tie-down points.
Warning!
Transfer to a regular car seat if possible
Always ask the transporter for confirmation
that the vehicle is suitably designed, insured
and equipped for transporting a person in a
wheelchair.
Set the wheelchair in the standard position
and use the headrest if the wheelchair is
fitted with one.
A chair with electrical power assist must
always be switched off when being
transported.
6.3 Fastening the seat belt
Warning!
Use the three-point seat belt in order to
reduce the risk of head and chest injuries in
the event of sudden braking or a collision.
Care should be taken when applying the
occupant restraint.
Use the seat belt as follows:
•
Position the belt across the hips as tightly
as possible at an angle between 30° and
75°. Within these limits a steeper angle
is desirable. The other part of the belt
is positioned to sit across the chest and
shoulder (see figure).
•
The seat belt should fit as tightly as possible
and must not be twisted.
•
Ensure that the seat belt is not obstructed
from having contact with the body by
wheelchair parts, such as armrests or
wheels (see figure).
In order to prevent injury in the event of a
collision, secure wheelchair accessories to the
wheelchair or remove them from the chair and
secure them in the vehicle.
