Days Healthcare Escape Power Chair
User Manual
We recommend that you do not sit on your Powerchair when in a vehicle, but
transfer to a vehicle seat. A Powerchair secured in a vehicle will not provide the
equivalent safety level and security as the vehicle’s seating systems.
However, when transfer is not practical or impossible, ensure the following:
1) Check that the vehicle is suitably designed, insured and equipped to transport
a passenger seated in a Wheelchair
2) Remove any part of the Wheelchair (accessories, etc.) that can be easily detached
and store it in the vehicle’s luggage hold
3) Make sure the Wheelchair is transported in a forward facing direction. Rearward
facing is only acceptable if the passenger’s head and back can be supported by a
suitable bulkhead
4) Use the buckle seat belt (if fitted) with your chair as additional restraint
