How The User Is Secured Within The Mobility Device - Invacare Fox User Manual

10.3.2 How the user is secured within the mobility
device
CAUTION!
There is a risk of injury if the user is not properly
secured within the mobility device
– Even if the mobility device 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 mobility device such as
armrests or wheels.
– Safety belts must be pulled as tightly as possible
without causing the user discomfort.
– Safety belts must not be positioned while twisted.
– Ensure that the third seat belt anchorage point is not
fixed directly to the vehicle floor, but to one of the
vehicle uprights.
WARNING!
Risk of injury if the mobility device is used as a
vehicle seat without a headrest
This can cause the neck to be hyperextended during
collisions.
– It is recommended to use a headrest during transport.
The Invacare headrest for this mobility device
(available as an option) is the perfect solution for use
during transport.
– The headrest must be adjusted to the user's ear height.
