TRAVELER usage instructions
27.6 Safety instructions
After every adjustment or after reattach-
ment following removal, check that the push
handles are firmly attached in position.
Due to environmental effects, it is possi-
ble that the properties and therefore secure at-
tachment of the push handle covers may
change detrimentally. For this reason, it is im-
portant to check that the handles are tightly fit-
ted and fixed in position prior to use. If this
should no longer be the case, then the push
handles may not be used until they have been
fixed
.
28 Passenger transport in motor
vehicles
28.1 Standard specifications
In order to approve the product as a seat for
passenger transport in motor vehicles, verifica-
tion of the dynamic crash stability according to
ISO 7176-19 (wheelchairs for use in motor ve-
hicles) is required.
Furthermore, the additional retention system is
required for the safe transport of the person sit-
ting in the product in a motor vehicle, that com-
plies with the requirements according to DIN
75078-2 (Motor vehicle for the transportation of
handicapped persons – Part 2: Restraint sys-
tems) and ISO 10542-2 (Technical systems
and aids for disabled or handicapped persons.
Wheelchair tiedown and occupant-restraint
systems).
PRO ACTIV offers occupant and wheelchair
restraint systems with new orders, but also for
retrofitting. In the following, we shall inform you
about the use and application of this retention
system when using the product as a seat in a
motor vehicle.
28.2 Restraint systems
With the wheelchair restraint system, elements
are designated that are used to secure the
wheelchair in the vehicle. Persons in wheel-
chairs are secured using components of the
occupant retention system (ORS). A compre-
hensive system for the optimum transportation
of the wheelchair in the motor vehicle com-
prises both components. These are matched to
one-another so that their forces are not trans-
ferred to another system.
Similar to the crash test performed, a suitable
wheelchair and occupant restraint system con-
sists of a 4-point wheelchair restraint system
and a 3-point occupant restraint system.
Elements of the wheelchair restraint system
include:
Retractors consisting of 2 retractors at the
front without hand tensioning wheel and 2
retractors at the rear with hand tensioning
wheel (e.g. manufacturer Schnierle Safety
Belts GmbH).
