10.2 Attaching wheelchair to vehicle
1.
All models of Mini Tilt Wheelchair can be attached to a vehicle using a 4-
point wheelchair webbing restraint (not karabiner). Additionally for
wheelchairs purchased after December 2011, rear tie-down brackets are
supplied as standard and karabiner hooks can be used to secure the rear of
the wheelchair (webbing restraints must be used for the front). Any restraint
system used must comply with ISO 10542, SAE2249 or DIN7507/2. No other
restraint systems can be used.
Note: Such restraints are manufactured by Unwin Safety Systems or Q’Straint.
2.
Only a trained person should attach the restraints.
3.
Position the assembly correctly in the vehicle over the floor track with the front of
the wheelchair facing towards the front of the vehicle (in the direction of travel).
Put The Brakes On*
*The brakes are needed to prevent the wheelchair moving whilst fitting the restraints. Once
the wheelchair is correctly attached to the vehicle with a 4 point restraint system it is no
longer a requirement for the brakes to remain on.
4.
Fit the front and rear restraints as detailed below:
