Maintenance manual, installation and user guide UK

Dahl VarioDock™

Recommendations for Clear Zones 

Clear zones are recommended areas in which hard or sharp installation components or objects 

should not be placed. The clear zone recommendations in ISO 10542 are based on the way in 

which an occupant moves during a crash/collision. To reduce the risk of injuries to the head 

and chest, hard vehicle components and parts for WTORS which lie within the clear zones 

should be covered with padding that meets the requirements with regard to the hardness of 

materials as specified in FMVSS 201, ECE regulation no. 21 or EU directive 74/60. 

The wheelchair and user must be placed facing forward in the vehicle. 
FCZ

 = Frontal Clear Zone 

650 mm. when both lap belts and diagonal belts are used. 

950 mm. when only lap belts are used. 

The use of both lap belts and diagonal belts is recommended to reduce the risk of head and 

chest impact. The majority of countries require the use of both lap belts and diagonal belts. It 

may be impossible to comply with the recommendation for FCZ if the wheelchair is used by a 

person driving the vehicle themselves. 

HHT

= Seated head height 

Approx. 1200 mm for a small adult female. Approx. 1550 mm for a tall adult male.

Safety belts 

Only use Dahl WTORS or e-(ECE), E-(EU) or ISO 10542 certified safety 

belts for securing occupants of the vehicle. Please refer to Dahl 

Engineering’s product catalogue containing WTORS and certified 

safety belts.

Preferred and optional angles for location of the lap belt:

▲ 

= Preferred Zone  / 

 = Optional Zone

Recommended location of  

shoulder belt’s top anchoring point:

▲ 

= Preferred Zone  

 = Optional Zone

The lap belt should make full contact with the 

front of the body in the area where the pelvis 

and thighbone meet.

*=  Installation height from the floor 

and up to the shoulder and the 

shoulder belt’s top anchoring 

point depends on the height of 

both the user and the wheelchair. 

The shoulder belt’s anchoring 

point must be located in such a 

manner, that the belt runs over the 

midpoint of the shoulder.

Safety belts must not be held  

away from the body by wheelchair  

components or parts such  

as armrests or wheels.

When using wheelchair with 

Dahl Docking system, the 

floor anchorage points for 

occupant restraitn should 

be located 10-60mm outside 

wheels, on each side.
