Sunrise Medical Magic Mobility Extreme X8 Owner's Manual page 25

Testing has been conducted with a representative
four-point strap system (two at the front and two at the
rear). Use only with powerchair tie down and occupant
restraint systems suitable for the powerchair weight
including options that have been installed in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions. The restraint
system must conform to SAE J2249 (USA) or
ISO10542 (International).
Powerchairs secured in a vehicle don't provide
the same safety and security as vehicle seating.
Magic Mobility recommends that users transfer to
the vehicle seat and use the vehicle-installed restraint
system whenever possible. The unoccupied powerchair
should then be stored as cargo or secured in the vehicle
as described in Section 5.1.
Strap restraint system
• The powerchair can only be secured by using the tie-down points on the
powerchair's frame (see Figure 5.4)
• The tie-down points (two at the front, two at the back) are indicated by the
transit symbol (see Figure 5.3). Fit the front straps first, then the rear. Tighten the
straps to secure the powerchair. The powerchair may not be secured by any other
components
• Due to the high loading that can occur during a severe crash, Magic Mobility
recommends fitting two straps on each rear tie-down point
• No changes or replacements should be made to the tie-down points.
