Mustang Mustang Powered Wheelchair, User Manual

Page: 16 / 24

Using the MUSTANG in occupied transport
The MUSTANG has been crash tested in accordance with ISO7176 part 19. This means that it
is suitable to be transported in a vehicle with the occupant sitting in it. The Seat should be in
the lowered position and tilted to the most upright setting.
The Mustang is held down by four restraints: two at the front, and two at the back. These
should be wheelchair restraints that have been designed for this purpose. The occupant is
secured by a separate occupant restraint, which is anchored at shoulder level to the side of the
vehicle.
Please study the next few pages carefully, to make sure that you are operating in a safe
manner.
The Front Restraints are fitted first, attaching
to the bracket above the front wheel at the
front of the MUSTANG.
The Rear Restraints are fitted and tensioned
to hold the MUSTANG securely as shown.
WHEELCHAIR RESTRAINTS
It is important that wheelchair restraints should be attached at an angle of no more than 45
degrees to the vehicle floor. Make sure that you obtain a copy of the operating instructions for
the restraint system that you use.
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.
