4.8 transportation in vehicles:
This product is suitable to use as a seat in vehicles as per
certificate ISO / NP 7176-19: 2001, and using the restraint
system Unwin (4 point WWR / ATF / K / R)
danger!
A wheelchair secured in a vehicle will not provide the
equivalent level of safety and security of a vehicle seating
system. It is always recommended that the user transfers
to the vehicle seating. It is recognised that this 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 should be followed:
Confirm that the vehicle is suitably equipped to
•
transport a passenger in a wheelchair, and ensure
the method of access/egress is suitable for your
wheelchair type. The vehicle should have the floor
strength to take the combined weight of the user, the
wheel chair and accessories.
Sufficient space should be available around the
•
wheelchair to enable clear access to attach, tighten
and release the wheelchair and occupant tie down
restraints and safety belts.
The occupied wheelchair must be located in a forward
•
facing position and secured by the wheelchair tie
down and occupant restraint straps (WTORS tie
downs) meeting the requirements of ISO 10542
or SAE J2249, in accordance with the WTORS
manufacturers’ instructions, (Fig. 4.3).
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. 4.3).
4.6 tyres:
The tyres of a wheelchair suffer wear depending on how
much the chair is used. Check them regularly, especially
for inflation pressure, according to the service instructions
in this manual.
warnIng!
NEVER inflate the tyres with the air hose of a service
station.
warnIng!
4.7 freewheel device, (fig.4.2):
Also see Fig.3.1
Only use this function to push the chair manually from
•
one spot to another.
Keep in mind that while the freewheel system is in
•
operation, the chair is without a braking system.
Disengaging the motor causes an error message to
•
appear in the control, which is indicated when the
LED display flashes rapidly.
For safety reasons the wheelchair can no longer be
•
moved using the joystick.
Do not operate the freewheel device whilst seated in
•
the wheelchair.
The freewheel device should only be operated by a
•
person who has the strength and agility to be able
to fully manoeuvre the wheelchair safely, during
freewheel.
