Operating instructions
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.
Transfer to a regular car seat if
possible
Use for the fixation of the
occupant a 3 point occupant
restraint system. Always follow
the instructions of this system.
Always ask the transporter for
confirmation that the vehicle is
suitably designed, insured and
equipped for transporting a
person in a wheelchair.
The wheelchair must be
positioned in the vehicle
so that it is facing
forwards.
The wheelchair has
been dynamically tested
in a forward-facing
orientation with the test
dummy restrained by
both pelvic and
shoulder belts (e.g. a
shoulder belt as part of
a three-point belt
restraint).
Both pelvic- and
shoulder-belt restraints
should be used to
reduce the possibility of
head and chest impacts
with vehicle
components.
Wheelchair mounted
trays should:
36
be removed and
1.
secured seperately in
the vehicle
be secured to the
2.
wheelchair but
positioned away from
the occupant with
energy-absorbing
padding placed
between the tray and
the occupant.
Set the wheelchair in the
standard position and use the
headrest if the wheelchair is
fitted with one.
The chair must always be
switched off when being
transported.
Support and positioning
equipment must not be
used as seat belts if not
labelled as being in
accordance with the
requirements of ISO
7176/19
No changes may be
made to the tie-down
points/car restraining
points on the
wheelchair, or to the
design of the frame
without consulting the
manufacturer.
