USING THE ENIGMA ENERGi
IN A VEHICLE
The Enigma Energi powerchair has
been tested to Wheelchair Crash
Test standard ISO 7176/19 using
restraints from Koller Engineering.
Wherever possible the powerchair
occupant should use the vehicle’s
fitted seats and the powerchair
should be folded away and placed
safely in the luggage compartment
of the vehicle or restrained.
If it is not feasible to transfer to the
vehicle’s seat then the Enigma
Energi may be used as a chair
whilst the vehicle is moving with
the necessary restraints and with
the powerchair facing the front of
the vehicle. Medicare Technology
recommends that the following
types of restraints be used:
a)
Koller Buckle and tongue
restraints for the front of the
powerchair,
b)
Koller
Karabiner
rear
restraints for the rear of the
powerchair,
c)
Koller 3-point harness for the
occupant restraint.
The lap belt should be worn across
the front of the pelvis, with the
webbing fed between the backposts
and armrest.
The upper torso belt should be worn
over the shoulder. The belt should be
worn as firm as possible without
being uncomfortable. Ensure the
webbing is not twisted.
For more information on restraints please
contact Medicare Technology. Below is a
diagram illustrating the recommended
positions
for
the
restraints.
The
securement points for the restraints are
marked on the powerchair with the
symbol overleaf.
Failure to use the type of restraints
specified may reduce the performance of
the powerchair in the event of an accident
and may cause damage or injury in
normal everyday use.
