Adjustable-inclination backrests must be set to
the most vertical position in order to ensure
upright sitting.
The height and distance of the headrest to the

of the upright head is in the middle of the head-
rest and the distance between the head and
headrest padding must be kept as little as pos-
sible (max. 2-3 cm).

quately protected against collisions with vehi-
cle parts and panels, the following clearances

To the rear, at least 45 cm measured from
the rear edge of the head
Upwards, at least 120 cm for a small, fe-

27.6 Safety instructions
You must be able to hear all links engag-
ing in the buckles. Belts must not be twisted
and not run crossed-over.
For belt systems (hip, diagonal shoulder
belt, retractors), the instructions for use of the
respective manufacturer must be observed.
During transport, the parking brake of the
product must be applied.
Loose parts of the wheelchair (therapy
tray, crutches, etc.) must be removed prior to
the journey and stowed securely in the vehicle
to prevent injuries to the vehicle occupants in
the event of a collision.
Wheelchairs and restraint systems that
have been exposed to an impact must be re-
placed. They may no longer be used as a seat
or for securing in motor vehicles.
