We recommend that wheelchair users should transfer to the seat of the vehicle and use the installed restraint
system of the vehicle whenever feasible.
•
The wheelchairs are tested in a basic configuration. The use in other configurations has not been tested. See
user manual, section "Test report from dynamic safety restraint test", for test configuration.
•
Auxiliary wheelchair equipment is either secured to the wheelchair or removed from the wheelchair and
secured in the vehicle during transit (for example table trays).
•
Alterations or substitutions are not to be made to points of the wheelchair or to structural and frame parts
without the written consent of Invacare
•
A wheelchair-anchored pelvic belt must be fitted across the wheelchair occupant in addition to the lap and
diagonal restraint (3-point belt).
•
Belt restraints are not to be held away from the body by wheelchair components or parts such as armrests,
postural restraints, wheels, etc. (See illustration below.)
•
The wheelchair must be securely fastened in the vehicle with an ISO 10542-2 approved 4-point tie-down
system, according to the methods described in this manual.
•
The occupied wheelchair must be tied down in an forward-facing configuration, with the parking brake app-
lied.
•
The wheelchair backrest should be positioned as close to vertical as possible and the seat as close to horisontalt
as possible.
Please observe that even if these products and recommendations are provided in order to increase security and
safety, injury to vehicle occupants still might occur in the event of a collision or other accidents and no guarantee
is given in this respect.
