Karma Medical Taiwan would always recommend transferring to a car
seat within a vehicle; however, should this not be possible, the
following is the safest method:
a. The wheelchair must be positioned in a forward-facing position.
b. An Unwin restraint system like model Gemini 3 or a different brand with
equivalent specification must be used.
c. As a car safety belt a Klippan Safety AB belt, model 907428 or a
different brand with equivalent specification must be used.
d. The restraint system must be fixed on the specific points of the
wheelchair, which show a label of a transportation hook.
e. A head restraint system must be fitted during transportation. This device
must be suitably positioned and able to stay on during transportation.
f. The center point of gravity of the wheelchair during transportation should
be as low as possible. A powered seat elevator must be in its drive
position, the backrest should be upright, the seat should be in a horizontal
position and the legrest should be positioned in a normal seating positions.
g. During transportation the wheelchair should be switched off to prevent it
from moving by accidental joystick use.
h. Make sure the tire pressure of each wheel of the wheelchair is in the
optimal condition. Too low tire pressure can result in an instable behavior
of the wheelchair during transportation.
The position belt of a wheelchair is not meant to be used as a car safety
belt. It only prevents the user from sliding out of the seat while driving the
wheelchair. If a user is transported in his wheelchair, he or she should
wear an extra car safety belt, which is attached to the vehicle like all the
car safety belts.
When shipped by boat, please give special attention to prevent contact
with salt water or air. Salt water is extremely corrosive and might lead to
unwanted damage of the product.
