OCCUPANT RESTRAINT
The occupant restraint is fitted over the
occupant, working like a 3-point vehicle belt,
with lap belt and diagonal belt.
It is important that this fits comfortably over
any postural belts that are fitted to the seat.
KEY POINTS RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION
1)
The Corgi POWER must face forward in the vehicle, in the
direction of travel.
2)
The Corgi POWER must be restrained with a 4-point
wheelchair tie-down. No other restraint system must be used.
3)
The occupant must be restrained with a 3-point passenger
restraint, anchored at shoulder level.
4)
The lap belt section of the passenger restraint should fit snugly
over the pelvis of the occupant, at a steep angle of application
to avoid abdominal intrusion.
5)
Check with the vehicle converter, that the vehicle floor and
sidewall structures have the appropriate strength required by
the restraint manufacturers for the installation of the restraint
systems.
6)
Check that the vehicle converter has fitted the restraint system
in conjunction with the restraint manufacturer. All of the restraint
manufacturer’s recommendations and guidance notes should
be followed.
7)
Check that all vehicle operators are suitably trained in the use,
care and maintenance of the restraints.
