Warnings and Cautions
Warning
Do not use the harness, foot straps, hip belt or knee supports instead of a vehicle mounted seat belt
or other restraint while inside a van or other motor vehicle. Failure to heed this warning will cause the
user to be unprotected during an accident.
The wheelchair harness, foot straps, hip belt or knee supports are designed only to secure the
user in the wheelchair.
The wheelchair harness, foot straps, hip belt or knee support are not meant to act as safety belts
while sitting in the wheelchair in a van or other moving vehicle.
Warning
Always wear the harness, foot straps and knee supports (and hip belt where relevant) while in the
wheelchair. Failure to wear these may lead to personal injury.
If signs of damage or wear appear, replace these immediately through your UPnRIDE dealer.
