WARNING!
Positioning belts and aids are not
vehicle seatbelts
The wheelchair positioning belt and aids are designed to
properly position the user in the wheelchair for safely operating
the wheelchair. The wheelchair positioning belts and aids do
not provide protection in a traffic accident and do not replace a
vehicle mounted seatbelt.
WARNING!
Secure loose objects during
transportation
Auxiliary wheelchair equipment, loose or mounted on the
wheelchair, must either be secured to the wheelchair or
removed from it. Dismantled or movable auxiliary equipment
must be properly secured in the vehicle during transit. This is to
prevent loose parts or parts that may come loose from causing
injury to the occupants during transit.
