• Do
NOT
operate or use this product until you read and fully understand all the instructions in the installation and use &
care manuals. Only permit a QUALIFIED person, an individual properly trained in securing mobility aids and positioning
occupant restraints, to install and use this system. Improper use of the INQLINE SECUREMENT™ System may result in
personal injury.
•
ONLY
use this product with forward-facing wheelchairs. For maximum safety use a Wheelchair Tie-Down and Occupant
Restraint System (WTORS) compliant to ANSI/RESNA WC-4, Section 18, CSA-Z605, or ISO 10542 and wheelchairs
compliant to ANSI/RESNA WC-4, Section 19, CSA-Z604, or ISO 7176 Part 19.
• When installed and used per these instructions, the INQLINE SECUREMENT™ System will result in increased safety and
security for wheelchair bound occupants during normal travel, emergency vehicle maneuvers, and other type of incidents.
Replace the INQLINE SECUREMENT™ System and its components after a vehicle incident or a sudden stop that may
have comprised the integrity of the system.
• Due to variations of wheelchair designs, occupant size and weight, and loading ramp angles, any additional equipment
or luggage being carried on the wheelchair or occupant may create a hazardous condition for the wheelchair and its
occupant to tip backwards, or sideways. We therefore recommend that all additional equipment and luggage that could
increase the likelihood of tipping are removed from the wheelchair or the occupant prior to use. We also recommend the
presence of an assistant at all times when the wheelchair is boarding, or alighting, the vehicle.
• The INQLINE SECUREMENT™ System will only operate when the vehicle is set to “Park” mode. The System is also
equipped with a factory set Auto Stop feature designed to stop the wheelchair approximately 12 – 16 inches (300 – 400
mm) away from the units. As each wheelchair and vehicle installation differs, additional distance may be required to
prevent contact with the units or vehicle furniture and reduce the likelihood of injury to the occupant. We recommend
that careful observation is given to the placement of the occupant in the vehicle during boarding and alighting.
• The INQLINE SECUREMENT™ System and its components
MUST
be regularly cleaned, maintained, and inspected before
each use. Do
NOT
use if any of the components are damaged, broken, missing, defective or if the webbing is cut, frayed,
burnt, melted, or abraded.
• When not in use, always keep the wheelchair and occupant (shoulder and lap) belts off the floor by using a proper storage
bag or container. Do not allow webbing to get twisted inside the retractors or come in contact with sharp corners and
edges.
• The Wheelchair Securement Tie-Down hooks
MUST
be attached to designated wheelchair securement locations or the
wheelchair frame as described in the Use and Care manual. Do
NOT
attach the Tie-Down hooks to the wheelchair’s
wheel spokes, the wheels, or any removable or non-durable sections of the wheelchair. Ensure all Wheelchair Securement
Tie-Downs are locked and properly tensioned. If necessary rock the wheelchair back and forth or manually tension knobs
(if available) to remove webbing slack.
• The Occupant Restraint (Shoulder and Lap) Belts must fit firmly across the occupant upper torso and pelvis. Refer to
the Installation manual for proper attachment, securement and positioning of the Occupant Restraint Shoulder and Lap
Belts. Any deviation, alterations, wear, twisting, incorrect fit to the occupant’s body or interference with the wheelchair
components could compromise the performance of the INQLINE SECUREMENT™ System and may result in personal
injury.
• A vehicle anchored back restraint
MUST
be provided if a head restraint is anchored to the vehicle. This is in order to
minimize rearward deflection of the wheelchair back support and reduce the potential of a personal neck injury.
