NOTE
NOTE
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.
NOTE
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.
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 ISO 10542-1 approved heavy duty WTORS (Wheelchair Tie down and Occupant Restraint System)
rated for the wheelchairs weight - must be used to secure the wheelchair and user during transportation
in a road vehicle.
c. The restraint system must be fixed on the specific points of the wheelchair, which show a label
of a transportation hook.
d. A head restraint system must be fitted during transportation. This device must be suitably
positioned and able to stay on during transportation.
e. 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.
