12.0 Transportation
A wheelchair secured in a vehicle will not provide the
equivalent level of safety and security of a vehicle seating
system. Sunrise Medical recommends that the user
transfers to the vehicle seating and uses the vehicle-
installed restraint system wherever possible. Sunrise
Medical recognises that it is not always practical for the
user to be transferred and in these circumstances, where
the user must be transported whilst in the wheelchair, the
following advice must be followed:
12.1 Transportation warnings:
WARNINGS!
The occupied wheelchair must be located in a forward
•
facing position and secured by the wheelchair tie down
and occupant restraint straps (WTORS), meeting the
requirements of ISO 10542 or SAEJ2249 in accordance
with the WTORS manufacturer’s instructions. Refer
to the section ‘Tie Down Instructions’ for further
information on transporting your wheelchair.
The wheelchair’s use in other positions within a
•
vehicle has not been tested e.g. transportation in a
side facing position must not be carried out under any
circumstances,
(Fig 12.1).
Wherever possible remove and stow safely away from
•
the wheelchair, all auxiliary equipment, for example,
Kerb climbers, Tray tables, Crutches & Loose
cushions.
WARNINGS!
Alterations or substitutions must not be made to
•
the wheelchair securement points or to structural
and frame or components without consulting the
manufacturer. Failure to do so will invalidate the ability
of the wheelchair to be transported within a vehicle.
The wheelchair should be inspected by a Sunrise
•
Medical authorised dealer before re-use following
involvement in any type of vehicle impact.
WARNING!
Both pelvic and upper torso restraint belts must be used to
restrain the occupant to reduce the possibility of head and
chest impacts with the vehicle components, (Fig 12.2).
WARNINGS!
This wheelchair has been successfully crash tested.
•
Sunrise Medical recommends that you use a suitably
positioned headrest when being transported in the
wheelchair. However it is highly recommended that as
a preference you transfer from your wheelchair to a
seat within the motor vehicle.
Postural supports (lap straps, lap belts) should not be
•
used or relied on for occupant restraint in a moving
vehicle unless they are labelled as meeting the
requirements specified in ISO 7176-19:2008 or SAE
J2249.
Spill proof sealed batteries such as “gelled electrolyte”
•
or “AGM” must be installed on powered wheelchairs
when used in a motor vehicle.
