WHEELCHAIR TIEDOWN AND OCCUPANT RESTRAINT
Wheelchair Tiedown
Four adjustable over-center
buckle straps are provided for se-
curement of the wheelchair (two
for the front and two for the rear).
The straps are equipped with one
keeper fitting (attachment) which
installs in the vehicle-mounted
"L" track anchorage point (details
on pages 34 and 35). A hook
(securement point) is positioned
on the opposite end of the straps
for attachment to a solid frame
member of the wheelchair. Do
not attach straps to detachable
wheelchair components such as
armrests or leg rests. Front and
rear strap tension is required.
Refer to instructions on pages
34-45 for operation procedures.

Occupant Restraint
Lap and shoulder belts should bear upon
the bony structure of the body and should be
worn low across the front of the pelvis with the
junction between the lap and shoulder belts
located near the passenger's hip. Wheelchair
occupant restraints should not be held away
from the body by wheelchair components
such as armrests, panels, wheels or frame.
Follow all safety precautions and instructions
supplied by the belt manufacturer.
Lap and Shoulder Belt Options: An OEM up-
per torso lap and shoulder belt harness is typ-
ically used in conjunction with the stand alone
lap belt extension for restraint of a wheelchair
passenger. Wheelchair components may
restrict or prohibit use of the OEM lap and
shoulder belt in some cases. A multi-piece
chest and waist belt assembly is supplied as
an option for wheelchair passenger restraint
when use of the OEM lap and shoulder belt is
restricted.
