17.2      Four Point Webbing System

 

 
If a 4 point webbing system is fitted in the vehicle, the following is the correct attach-
ment points: 

•       

Loop the Front Webbing straps around both front castor post at the points indi-
cated on the Wheelbase (Pic 1)

 

•       

Loop the rear Webbing straps around the rear cross brace at the points indi-
cated on the wheelbase (Pic 2)

 

If a 4 point system is required we recommend the Unwin 4 point webbing restraint system 
reference WWR/SW/ATF/R 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
17.3      Rear Lock System

 

We recommend the Unwin Rear Lock part no RK/CAM/K/
R, plus a double inertia reel three point occupant restraint 
system part No QIR/3H/ATF/WH.   The Rear Lock system 
requires strapping blocks (part No. S65) positioned on the 
rear cross brace, 75 mm from each side frame (see picture 
below) to take the special attachment clamps used by 
these systems.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Note

 Tilt position cannot be used with the  rear lock system, the wheelbase must be in 

the upright (no tilt) position. 

17.4      Occupant Safety Strap System

 

In addition to the wheelbase restraint it is 

essential

 that the occupant of the chair uses 

a safety strap system fitted in the vehicle.  Should no information be available from the 
Seating System manufacturer we recommend a 2 or 3 point harness. Unwin’s double 
inertia reel three point harness  part no. QIR/3H/ATF/WH (this requires a third point cant 
rail) 

OR

 a 2 point full harness static part no. Q2H/F/ATF/WH. 

 

 

NB.

 Although the picture above 

shows a Power Shadow, fitment of 
a rear lock is basically the same 
for both manual and power 
wheelbases.
