4. The Powerchair should always be transported in a forward facing direction. Rearward facing is
only acceptable if your head and back can be supported by a suitable bulkhead.
5. INVACARE recommend the 4-Point Webbing Tie-Down System with Karabiner should be used to
secure your chair within the vehicle, these restraints are available from Unwin Safety Systems and
Koller Engineering (both companies based in the UK, Yeovil in Somerset).
6. When attaching the tie-downs to the Powerchair, it is imperative they are fixed onto the
MAINFRAME only of the Powerchair and not onto any attachments or accessories (wheels,
castors, footrests, armrests, anti-tipping levers etc).
7. The Tie-Downs should be secured, as close as possible, at an angle of 45° to ensure maximum
effectiveness of the restraint in all directions.
8. If your Powerchair has a headrest it should always be used during transportation, if not ask the
transporter if a universal headrest is available that will fit onto your Powerchair.
9. During transportation it is essential that you are secured by three point lap and diagonal
occupant restraint system, which is anchored to the vehicle wall and floor rails. Powerchair
lap belts can be used in
addition to the three point restraint system but must not be
considered as an alternative to the occupant restraint system.
