4.24 Transportation
Flexx series (KM-8022 /KM-8522/KM-8022S/KM-8522S) have been crash
tested to ISO7176-19 and is suitable to be used as seats in vehicles that has
been adapted for this purpose. The wheelchair must be securely restrained
as described in this manual. Flexx series was tested with a four point 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 transfers to the vehicle seat,
because using a wheelchair as a seat in a vehicle does not provide the
equivalent level of safety of a vehicle seating system.
WARNING:
●
Please transfer to a vehicle seat in the vehicle in all permitted cases.
4.24.1 Before use
4.24.1.1 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.
4.24.1.2 A four point tie-down system should tightly fasten to the
lower wheelchair frame marked with a yellow sticker as
pictured at the right.
4.24.1.3 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.
4.24.1.4 The attendant / transporter must double-check all fastening points for
proper connection and tightness to assure the wheelchair user's safety.

usage and its weight limitations.
