9.2. Check before use
9.2.1. Brake check
Make sure your brakes are operating properly before each use. It should
not be possible to push the wheelchair away while the brakes are
activated.
The wheelchair should be easy to drive without grinding noises and
with good direction stability when the brakes are released.
If you notice unusual behaviour when braking, inform your mobility
dealer immediately and do not use the wheelchair .
9.2.2. Inspection of tyres
Before embarking on any journey, check that the tyres are in good
condition.
8. Transport
You can determine whether or not your wheelchair is approved for use
as a seat in a vehicle for transporting disabled people by referring to
the symbols on the CE sticker on the product:
Wheelchair suitable for use as a seat in a vehicle for
transporting disabled people (fig. A)
Wheelchair not suitable for use as a seat in a vehicle for
transporting disabled people (fig. B)
All products approved by B+B for use as seats in vehicles are tested
in accordance with ISO 7176-19. The tests in accordance with ISO
7176-19 were performed using restraint systems from AMF-Bruns. The
correct mounting of the restraint system is a prerequisite for the safe
transportation of the products in a vehicle for transporting disabled
people and the basis for the approval.
Fixation points on the restraint system (fig. C)
The restraint systems from AMF-Bruns provide the ideal points for the
provision of restraint force for the purpose of securing the products in
the vehicle for transporting disabled people (known by the German
term „Kraftknoten“, which is defined in the standard DIN 75078-2).
For the purpose of providing restraint in the vehicle for transporting
disabled people (fig. C), the products must only be secured at these
specific points („Kraftknoten“ points). If possible, use a permanently
installed car seat and its belt system. Stow the wheelchair in the
luggage space. The person responsible for the transportation should be
familiar with the current regulations for transportation as well as with
the method of operating the vehicle for transporting disabled people
and the restraint system.
Anchored 4-point restraint systems must be used to secure the
wheelchair in the vehicle.If you have any queries about securing your
product in a vehicle for transporting disabled people, please contact
the B+B customer service department on +49 (0)700/60007070.
