Equipment storage and maintenance
After care
•
Store the restraint safely off the floor to avoid damage and ensure that it cannot become
a projectile in an accident. This can be achieved by using wall mounted storage bag such
as SLR111.
•
Regularly inspect the wheelchair and occupant restraint systems for damage, wear or
malfunction. If any problems are identified replace it immediately.
•
When not in use, keep loose occupant webbing ends connected to their corresponding
buckle sleeves, etc, to prevent them from becoming tripping hazards and from flailing
around when the vehicle is in motion.
•
All webbing and components can be cleaned as necessary, but care should be taken to
prevent contamination of the webbings with polishes, oils and chemicals, particularly
battery acide.
•
To clean the straps use warm soapy water and a clean soft cloth. Rinse with clear water
and allow to air dry. To disinfect, use a mild spray disinfectant and do not use products
containing bleach.
Important: when cleaning or disinfecting, do not immerse
or flood buckles, karabiners or Solo fittings in the disinfectant or water.
•
If the vehicle is involved in an accident when any restraints are deployed, remove them
from service and replace immediately. If in doubt please contact Unwin.
