2.3.1 Loading and transport without occupants
2.3.2 Transport of the wheelchair with occupants in the vehicle
Due to their purpose, wheelchairs can never achieve the stable properties of a seat sys-
tem that is permanently mounted in the vehicle. Whenever possible, we recommend using a
fixed vehicle seat to transport a person in the vehicle.
Only wheelchairs that have successfully passed a crash test according to ISO
7176-19 may be used as a seat in a motor vehicle. Successfully tested wheelchairs
are marked with the symbol for the attachment point on the attached label.
The Airon has been successfully tested according to ISO 7176-19 and is
therefore approved as a seat in a motor vehicle if you have the necessary
restraint devices.
Please check whether your wheelchair is custom-made and therefore may not
be used as a seat in a motor vehicle. In this case the symbol for the fastening point
is missing from the rating plate and the wheelchair is provided with a warning,
represented by the negated symbol for the fastening point.
Further information can be found in the crash test brochure at www.sorgrollstuhltechnik.de/
downloadportal
.
We can recommend the following manufacturers of restraint systems:
• SORG-Retaining eyelets on the wheelchair
• AMF-BRUNS GmbH & Co.KG
• Q‘Straint Europe
How to remove and re-attach the drive wheels can be seen in chapter 3.1.3.
How to fold the back can be found in chapter 3.2.
