2:5 Securing
The wheelchair must be secured as follows, the straps must not be put
through the wheels or around the back tubes.
2:6 Seat belt
If the wheelchair is used as a seat for travelling Etac recommends that the
user wears the 3-point seat belt that is fitted in the vehicle. It is important
that the 3-point belt is fitted correctly, as in the illustrations:
2:7 Recommendations
Etac recommends in the following order:
1) The user transfers to a seat in the vehicle and uses the vehicle’s 3-point
belt while travelling. The wheelchair is then placed in the boot or safely in
the back seat so that it cannot overturn or roll.
2) The wheelchair is secured facing forwards in the vehicle as per this
manual, the user uses a separate 3-point belt that is secured in the vehicle.
This is the way in which the wheelchair is tested and approved according to
the ISO-standard for crash testing of wheelchairs in vehicles.
3) According to directive 2001/85/EC, appendix VII, point 3.8.3. there are
specially marked wheelchair locations in vehicles that permit transport with
a wheelchair facing in the opposite direction of travel. If this means of travel
is used, the user/carer must be aware while travelling, prepared for sud-
den movements and have the capacity to maintain a safe sitting position
throughout the entire journey. The user’s disabilities must not be of such an
extent that he/she is not able to hold onto the handles fitted in the vehicle
when there are changes of speed or direction.
In conjunction with points 2 and 3:
- a positioning belt should be used
- a correctly adjusted headrest should be used
- the backrest should be level with or above the user’s shoulders
- the parking brake should be used
- the anti-tips should be lowered
