USE OF WHEELCHAIR RESTRAINT SYSTEM
•
All wheelchair securement systems supplied by Tribus are exclusively intended to secure properly
lockable wheelchairs in travel direction.
•
The safety belts of the wheelchair securement system, intended for the passenger, must always
be used, even if the wheelchair has its own safety belt.
•
Additional accessories or parts of the wheelchair must be firmly secured. If they are not, then re
-
move them from the wheelchair and store them elsewhere in the vehicle.
•
If possible, remove any additional accessories or parts of the wheelchair that are situated in front
of the wheelchair passenger (except foot supports) and store them elsewhere in the vehicle.
•
When using the belts, see to it that they are not twisted.
•
Always observe the recommended angles and positions to secure wheelchairs. These are depicted
in pictures 1 and 2. Mount the hooks to a vertical point, so they cannot shift to the left or right.
Usually, the site of action is displayed for safely transportable wheelchairs (ISO 7176-19).
