MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY/TRANSIT USE
!
WARNING
This power wheelchair has been manufactured with built-in
transport brackets. These standard transport brackets are used to
secure an unoccupied power wheelchair in a motor vehicle. Only
when the wheelchair has the added option of WC19-ISO, can
there be an occupant sitting in the wheelchair while the vehicle is
in motion.
TRANSPORTING A POWER WHEELCHAIR
WITHOUT THE WC19-ISO OPTION
1. NEVER allow anyone to sit in the wheelchair while it is
secured in a moving vehicle
2. ALWAYS ensure that the wheelchair is well secured using
straps for all built-in 4-point transport brackets. Tighten straps
so that the wheelchair does not roll or shift.
3. DO NOT use a power wheelchair that has been involved in
a motor vehicle accident.
TRANSPORTING A POWER WHEELCHAIR
WITH THE WC19-ISO OPTION
The WC19-ISO option is a standard that allows the transport of
an occupied wheelchair. For a wheelchair to be suitable as a
seat for the transportation of its user in a motor vehicle, it requires
the WC19-ISO option. This option may limit the wheelchair’s
configuration. Please contact your representative or Amylior’s
Customer Service.
To comply with this standard, the wheelchair must be equipped
with the built-in transport brackets as well as the 6-point power
wheelchair tie-down and a 3-point occupant restraint systems
(WTORS). The wheelchair must be secured forward-facing in the
direction of travel. All added accessories must be removed and
stored in a safe location.
NOTE
- For more information on Wheelchair Tie-down and
Occupant Restraint Systems approved by the WC-19/ISO 7176,
please refer to the Power wheelchair transportation safety
guidance document.
CENTER OF GRAVITY (CG)
!
WARNING
The point where a power wheelchair will tip forward, back, or to
the side depends on its center of gravity and stability. The center
of gravity is affected by:
1. The seat height and seat angle.
2. A change in your body position, posture or
weight distribution.
3. Using the wheelchair in the standing mode.
4. Using the wheelchair on a ramp or slope.
5. The use of a back pack or other options, and the amount of
added weight.
6. Drive wheel positioning.
!
WARNING
• Standing, elevating, tilting and legrest adjustments can affect
the wheelchair centre of gravity. Under certain conditions this
might cause instability that could lead to unintentional tipping
causing personal injury to the user and/or the
people nearby.
• Stopping distances on slopes can be significantly longer than
on level ground.
1
PROHIBITED!
DO NOT use the standing function on slopes or uneven ground.
ADJUSTING
CG
• NEVER adjust the CG on an Alltrack equipped with
the tanding function.
• ALWAYS consult a professional if your Alltrack
needs adjusting.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FALL OR TIP-OVER
Whenever a condition exists that may change the CG:
• If sitting: Reduce speed, proceed cautiously and when in
doubt, ALWAYS have someone help you.
• If standing: Return to the seating position, reduce speed and
proceed cautiously.
• Consult a profession to have your Alltrack serviced.
