General guidance
• Wheelchair Accessories that have not been approved by the Wheelchair Manufacturer must be
removed from the wheelchair and secured in the vehicle during transport to reduce the potential for
injury. Refer to ‘Instructions For Use in Transport’ provided with the wheelchair or contact wheelchair
manufacturer for further guidance.
• These combined wheelchair & occupant restraints comply with all applicable requirements of ISO 10542,
including a 48km/h, 20g frontal impact test using a forward facing 85kg surrogate wheelchair and an ATD
(test dummy) with a mass of 76.3kg. The test dummy was restrained by both a pelvic and upper-torso
restraint. Use of a pelvic only belt may compromise the performance of the WTORS system and should
be avoided.
• If the installation is to be used with an occupant head rest anchored to the vehicle, then a vehicle-
anchored back rest must be provided to minimise rearward deflection of the wheelchair seatback,
preventing neck injury.
• Regular inspection of all parts is recommended and the equipment should be used only if all
components are in good condition.
• Warning:
protect webbing from contacting sharp edges and corners. Replace equipment if the
webbing does becomes cut, contaminated or frayed.
