TRANSPORTATION
The GILL 4 Seating System, complete with Interface, has been successfully
tested to ISO 16840-4 (Seating Devices for use in Motor Vehicles), whilst
interfaced on an approved surrogate test base.
However, this does not imply and is not intended to imply in any way, that the
GILL 4 Seating System is suitable for transporting an occupant in a motor
vehicle in any other way than with the GILL 4 Seating System being correctly
interfaced with a surrogate wheelchair of a type and model which has been
successfully tested in its own right, to meet the requirements of ISO 7176-19
(Wheeled mobility devices for use in Motor Vehicles).
The transporting vehicle
MUST
be suitably equipped with wheelchair and
occupant restraint systems compliant with ISO 10542.
Under No Circumstances
should any part of a transportation restraint
system, be attached directly to the GILL 4 Seating System.
Whilst provision is made on the GILL 4 Backrest for attachment of an
ancillary Postural Positioning Harness, which, if fitted, should still be utilised
as normal during any transportation period, this positioning device should
NEVER
be used as the sole method of occupant restraint during
transportation.
The standard recommended restraint system, Part Number
Q-5001-T2
, for
transporting the GILL 4 Seating System, the Occupant and Surrogate
Wheelchair as detailed above, is available from :
Q-Straint (Europe)

Installation and use of all restraint systems should always be strictly as
per their manufacturers recommendations.
