TRANSPORTATION
Securing the wheelchair in a vehicle
(Fig. 22 and 23)
During transportation, the wheelchair must always be facing in the direction of travel while
the user is sitting in the chair.
An exception may be made if the vehicle is fitted with a device designed in accordance
with Bus Directive 2001/85/EG, Appendix VII, Item 3.8.3. In such cases, the user may trav-
el without a restraint system with the wheelchair facing in the opposite direction to which
the vehicle is travelling.
The wheelchair must always be secured to the vehicle in four locations
.
Securing the wheelchair
:
1) Secure the straps around the tubing above the two castors. See Fig. 22.
2) Fasten the two straps around the rear axle. See Fig. 23.
Please note
! Do not attach
metal hooks directly against the rear axle.
3) Pull the wheelchair backwards and fully tighten the rear straps to ensure the wheelchair
is secured and cannot be moved forwards or backwards.
4) If the wheelchair is fitted with brakes, ensure these are activated.
5) We also recommend that the anti-tip devices are folded out.
6) Ensure that all straps and bands are fully fastened to the profile rail on the floor of the
vehicle.
7) Check that all straps and belts have been tightened sufficiently
