4.4 Transportation
The Ergo Lite (KM-2501) has been crash tested to ISO7176-19 (Report No. MBK
09/0964) and is suitable for use in a vehicle that has been adapted for this purpose.
The wheelchair must be securely restrained as described in this manual. The Ergo
Lite (KM-2501) was tested with a four pint webbing system. For further information
on the use of wheelchair restraints please refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.
Karma always recommends that the user be transferred into car seat with a safety
belt or harness while in a transport.
SUGGESTION:
Please transfer to a seat in the car if
at all possible
4.4.1 Before use
Please detach all easily removable accessories from the wheelchair and store
them in a safe place where they cannot move around and become a safety
hazard.
A four point tie-down system should tightly fasten the lower wheelchair frame (hook
mark
) to the transport vehicle.
An occupant restraint system using both a pelvis and harness must also be
fastened to the transport vehicle to insure user safety. Again, please refer to
the restraint system's instructions.
The attendant / transporter must double-check all fastening points for proper
connection and tightness to assure the wheelchair user’s safety. The attendant
/ transporter must be fully aware of the fastening system's usage and its weight
limitations.
