Fitting the occupant restraint
BraunAbility recommends the use of a 3 point occupant restraint system to provide
greater protection in case of an impact. However we also recognise that some
vehicle layout/designs or specific postural or medical conditions do not allow that
style of seatbelts to be used easily. This system is not ISO 10542 compliant if used in 2
point configuration.
In accordance with International regulation standards our occupant restraints
are designed to be used for passengers weighing 22kg or above. If the passenger
weighs less than 22kg, we recommend that a suitable, and appropriately tested
child restraint seat is used. This may involve a secondary seat belt restraint as
recommended by the original seat manufacturer.
Before fitting the occupant restraint, ensure that the reversible stalk orange button
is
facing outside in relation to the wheelchair. If the reversible stalk orange button faces
inside, turn the stalk 180º to sit in the right position.
1.
For the kits with bolted upper anchorage, the upper anchorage will have been fitted
in accordance with vehicle converter’s instructions.
2.
Where applicable, position the 3
rd
point fixing into the cant rail (Fig 11), so that it
is vertically above the inertia reel casing fixed onto the floor fixing. Unfasten the
tongue and buckle.
3.
Pull the black webbing upwards and unfasten the tongue from the grey webbing
buckle. Position the black webbing to form the lap belt and insert the tongue
into the buckle stalk (Fig 12). Ensure that the lap belt lays low on the pelvis of the
occupant, running as close as possible over the hips on both sides.
4. Where applicable, remove the black plastic cover on the grey shoulder belt tongue
and fit into the 3
rd
point fixing (Fig 9). Position the grey webbing to form the
shoulder belt and insert the buckle into the black lap belt tongue.
5.
Adjust the height of the shoulder belt to clear the occupant’s shoulder by
approximately 25mm - 1 inch (Fig 13).
6. The lap belt anchor points should be
positioned to achieve belt angles of 30°
or more to the horizontal and preferably
between 45° and 75° in order to fit low
across the pelvis reducing the possibility
of the belt loading the abdomen (Fig 14).
The pelvic restraint is designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the body and
should be worn low across the front of
the pelvis with any junctions between
the pelvic and shoulder restraints
located near the wearers hips.
Removing the occupant restraint
1.
Release the grey shoulder belt from
the lap belt section, then from the third
point fixing and carefully allow the
shoulder belt to return to the retractor.
2.
Disconnect the black lap belt from
the buckle stalk on the aisle side and
carefully allow the lap belt webbing to
return onto it’s retractor.
3.
Connect the shoulder belt buckle to the
lap belt tongue above the opening of the
retractor box.
4. The wheelchair tie-down must now be
removed
