gravity of the mobility base for seating shells with the user sitting in it.
11.12 Safety locks
Even in the event of compliance with all applicable guidelines and standards, alarm systems (e.g.
in department stores) may respond to your product. Should this happen, remove your product
from the area where the alarm was triggered.
11.13 Surfaces
The mobility base for seating shells works best on hard surfaces. Avoid soft surfaces such as
sand, grass, trail paths, gravel roads, etc.
12 Transport
12.1 Transport without the user
When transporting the product in a vehicle, remove the wheels if necessary.
Follow the IATA (International Air Transport Association) rules and those of the relevant airline
when transporting the product in an aircraft. Inform the airline several days before your flight.
Use the SSR (special service request) codes if needed to describe the type of limited mobility.
The codes can be found on the internet, for example.
Visit www.iata.org for further information. The manufacturer recommends contacting the airline
directly before every flight to obtain information regarding special transport regulations.
12.2 Use in vehicles for transporting persons with reduced mobility
Always use the seats and personal restraint systems installed in the vehicle for transporting
persons with reduced mobility first. This is the only way to ensure optimum protection of pas-
sengers in the event of an accident.
The product may be used as a seat in a vehicle for transporting persons with reduced mobility
if the safety elements provided by the manufacturer and appropriate fastening and personal
restraint systems are used.
 The Adapt has been tested with a test dummy secured in the front position with a 3-
point belt (facing forward). The product has not been tested for its suitability in colli-
sions other than those mentioned in the above standard.

When using the mobility base for seating shells as a seat in a vehicle for transporting
persons with reduced mobility, Veldink4kids requires that it be equipped with a head
support (or head support system) that has been approved in the ISO 7176-19 crash
test. If head supports are installed in the vehicle for transporting persons with reduced
mobility, they should be used in the first instance.
 The Adapt must be attached to the floor of the transport vehicle by an approved 4-
point restraint system.

The positions of the four attachment points on the Adapt are indicated by a hook sym-
bol sticker (see Figure 28, Figure 29).
