9.2 TRANSPORT IN CAR
Netti S is crash tested at Millbrook - UK, and
RISE - Sweden, and is approved according to
ISO 7176-19:2008 for being used as a seat in
a car. Max user weight 75 kg.
Before using Netti S as a seat in a car, be
sure to remove and secure all parts and
accessories that may fall off in case of an
accident.
Always use approved wheelchair and
occupant restraint system (ISO 10452:2012)
for fixing the wheelchair in the vehicle.
Netti S has been successfully crash tested
using a combined wheelchair and occupant
restraint system W120/DISR developed
by Unwin Safety Systems. For further
information: www.unwin-safety.com
FIXING THE WHEELCHAIR
The angle of the belts should be ca. 45° to
the floor. Tighten well. Lock the brakes.
Always use the occupant restraint belts
in the car for the wheelchair user.
The corrective
harnesses used in
a wheelchair are
not safety belts.
Make sure the
safety belts sits
close to the user
body
(not across the armrest or wheels etc.)
Raise the back support to an upright
position, lock the leg supports downwards
and tilt the seating unit 12° when the chair
is used as a seat in a car.
Netti S has been crash tested without
any power kit etc.
If, at a later point of time
a power kit, stair climber etc. is mounted,
check if your power assistant device is crash
tested and approved for wheelchairs being
used as seat in a car. If not this must be
dismounted when the wheelchair is used as
a seat in a car.
Netti S has been crash tested and
approved with Netti cushions. Always use
Netti Cushions when the wheelchair is used
as a seat in a car.
A correctly mounted Netti head
support is very stable but cannot replace a
approved car head support.
Never use the wheelchair as a seat in a
car if it has been involved in an accident
with impact.
In the front use belts
threaded around
the vertical frame
bar behind the front
castors. Pull out and
forwards. Labels show
where to fix the belts.
In the rear of the
chair, car fixing
brackets has to be
mounted to the
wheel brackets.
The bracket has
order number
88203.
Use hooks to fix
the belts to the car
fixing brackets.
