Fitting Passenger Belts:
The passenger MUST be restrained using an approved vehicle safety belt. Tendercare Ltd
recommends the use of either a split reel double inertia seat belt or a 3 – point occupant
restraint system (Such restraints are manufactures by Unwin Safety Systems & Q ‘Straint).
Alternatively the user may be transferred to an approved vehicle seat and the wheelchair
folded and placed safely in the luggage area of the vehicle.
Important Points:
IN EMERGENCY PRESS THE RELEASE BUCKLES
The lap strap must be located as low down over the hips as possible. It must not cross the
stomach of the passenger.
Adjust the shoulder strap/s so that it does not press against the passenger’s neck but
passes over the middle of the shoulder.
Warning:
The Mini Tilt Wheelchair should only be secured in vehicles using a 4-point webbing restraint
system (not karabiner) that complies with ISO 10542 Part 2, SAE2249 or DIN 75078/2. NO
other restraint system can be used.
Any item involved in an accident no matter how minor MUST BE WITHDRAWN FROM
SERVICE IMMEDIATELY AND REPLACED.
