9.3.2 How the user is secured within the wheelchair

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.
CAUTION!
Injury hazard during use of the mobility device as
a vehicle seat if a headrest is wrongly adjusted
or not installed
This can cause the neck to be hyperextended during
collisions.
– A headrest must be installed. The headrest optionally
supplied for this mobility device by Invacare is
perfectly suitable for use during transport.
– The headrest must be adjusted to the user's ear height.
