19.1.2 Backrest, legrest and headrest settings during transportation
During transportation in an occupied position, the backrest of the wheelchair
needs to be set into an upright position. The legrest should be in a knee angle
close to 90 degrees. The headrest needs to be adjusted well so it will catch
the head of the wheelchair user during the rebound of an impact, this to
reduce the risk of a whiplash.
Recommended position of the backrest, legrest and headrest
- Alterations or substitutions should not be made to the wheelchair
securement points or to structural and frame parts or components without
consulting the manufacturer.
- Only use "gelled electrolyte" batteries on powered wheelchairs when
used in a car.
Special care should be taken when applying the occupant restraint to
position the seatbelt buckle so that the release button will not be contacted
by wheelchair components during a crash.
