12.2.2 How the user is secured within the wheelchair

CAUTION: There is a danger of injury if the user is not properly secured within the
wheelchair!
• Even if the wheelchair is fitted with a postural belt, this is no substitute for a proper safety belt
which complies with ISO 10542 in the transport vehicle. Always use the safety belt installed in
the transport vehicle.
• Safety belts must be in contact with the user's body. They must not be held at a distance from
the user's body using parts of the wheelchair such as armrests or wheels. Refer to the
illustration on page 157.
• Safety belts must be pulled as tightly as possible without causing the user discomfort. Refer
to the illustration on page 157.
• Safety belts must not be positioned while twisted.
• Ensure that the third seatbelt anchorage point is not fixed directly to the vehicle floor, but to
one of the vehicle uprights.
