4.1 Transport of occupied wheelchair on a vehicle
The TEKNA TILT 2.0 wheelchairs are designed to comply with the requirements of ISO 7176-19:2008 for the transport of an occupant sitting on the
wheelchair and, as such, they have been designed and tested for use only as a forward-facing seat in a motor vehicle.
In fact, the wheelchair has been dynamically tested in forward orientation with the ATD (dummy) restrained by both pelvic and shoulder belts.
WARNING! The risk of serious injury or death increases dangerously if the following recommendations are ignored.
In case of any involvement in any kind of vehicle collision, the wheelchair MUST be inspected by personnel authorised by Rehateam
s.r.l. BEFORE re-use.
A Wheelchair secured in a vehicle will not provide the equivalent of protection and safety of a vehicle seating system. It is always recommended that
the wheelchair occupant transfers to a seat once in the vehicle. However, it is acknowledged, that it is not always possible for the occupant to be
transferred. In such cases, for example, when the wheelchair occupant must be transported while sitting in the wheelchair, then the following procedure
should be followed.
1. Make sure that the vehicle is correctly equipped for the transport of wheelchair and occupant and that the wheelchair can be loaded into and
offloaded from the vehicle. The vehicle should have the appropriate floor strength to take the combined weight of the wheelchair occupant,
wheelchair, and accessories.
2. There should be sufficient space available around the wheelchair, so that the restraint belt and fasteners are accessible and can be tightened or
released again.
3. The occupied wheelchair must be located in a forward-facing position
(Fig. A1) and be secured by the wheelchair tie down system, and the
wheelchair occupant must be secured by the belt system (restraint
system according to WTORS in accordance with ISO 10542 or SAE
J2249) and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions
(WTORS).
4. The wheelchair’s use in other positions within a vehicle has not b een
tested, e.g. transportation in a side-facing position must not be carried
out under any circumstances (Fig. A2).
5. The wheelchair should be secured by a tie down restraint system according to ISO 10542 or SAE J2249 with non-adjustable front straps and
adjustable rear straps using Karabiner clips or S hooks and buckle fittings. This tie down restraint system consists of four individual belts, which are
fixed to the four corners of the wheelchair.
