How The Mobility Device Is Anchored In A Vehicle - Invacare Pronto M41 Series User Manual

Invacare® Pronto™ M41 Series with SureStep®
In order to use a mobility device as a motor vehicle seat,
it needs to be fitted with attachment points to enable
anchoring in the motor vehicle. These accessories may be
included in the standard scope of mobility device order and
delivery in some countries (UK for example), but may also
be obtained from Invacare as an option in other countries.
This mobility device complies with the requirements of ISO 7176-19
and may be used as a vehicle seat in connection with an anchoring
system that has been checked and approved in accordance with ISO
10542. The transporting vehicle must be professionally converted to
anchor the mobility device. Contact your vehicle's manufacturer for
more information.
The mobility device has undergone a crash test in which it was
anchored in the transporting vehicle's direction of travel. Other
configurations were not tested. The crash test dummy was secured
using pelvic and upper body safety belts. Both types of safety belt
should be used in order to minimize the risk of injuries to head or
upper body.
Invacare tests with a 4–point tie-down system
from Unwin Safety Systems.
– Contact Unwin for more information on how to
obtain such a system for your country and vehicle
type. For information concerning the curb weight,
refer to 11 Technical data, page 72.
It is imperative that the mobility device is inspected by an authorized
dealer before being used again after being involved in a crash.
Alterations to the mobility device anchoring points may not be
carried out without the manufacturer's permission.
