Securing the Power Chair

NOTE: In addition to following the general guidelines below, be sure to follow all recommendations
and instructions provided by the WTORS manufacturer.
„ Always secure the power chair in a forward-facing position in the vehicle.
„ Attach the four tie-down straps only to designated, labeled transit securement points indicated by
anchor symbols on the power chair. See figures 1 through 12. Tighten the straps to sufficiently
remove all slack.
„ Never attach tie-downs to adjustable, moving, or removable parts of the power chair such as
armrests, front riggings, and wheels.
„ Position the anchor points for the rear tie-down straps directly behind the rear securement points on
the power chair. The front tie-down straps should anchor to floor points that are spaced wider than
the power chair to provide increased lateral stability. See figure 1.
WARNING! Ensure power chairs equipped with a transit securement system are
properly secured to the motor vehicle during transport. Power chairs that are not
properly secured can become a hazard to the user and to other vehicle passengers
in the event of a crash, sudden stopping, or swerving, as the power chair could tip
or slide out of place.
