4 Four-point Tie Down Restraint System
The wheelchair may only be fastened with the four-point tie down restraint system if the following restraining
points and label are mounted on the wheelchair (see image 6).
Make sure that the tire pressure is at the recommended level, so the straps can have maximum effect. The fol-
lowing points will describe how to fixate your wheelchair in a motor vehicle with four anchor points:
• Place the wheelchair in the center of the four anchor points, with the front facing the forward motion
direction of the vehicle, and apply wheelchair brakes and turn of electrical control components.
• Attach four hooks, one from each anchor point in the vehicle, to the four restraintment points on the
wheelchair. Make sure the hooks you are using, as well as the straps are approved safety equipment which
fulfil all international safety standards. (See image 7, to see which points to connect to each other).
• Make sure that the straps are placed in the correct angle. The front straps should have an angle of 40-60
degrees from the floor to the strap and be infront of the frame. The straps in the back should have an angle
of 30-45 degrees between the floor an the straps, and be placed behind the wheelchair (see image 7).
• Make sure the distance between the straps at the anchor points in the vehicle are approximately the same
or wider than the corresponding restrainment points on the wheelchair.
• Make sure all acce ssories are either removed or are restrainted by approved safety equipment and secured
to either the wheelchair itself or the motor vehicle.
• Check that straps are tightened to such degree that the wheelchair will not move, yet not so much that it
deforms the frame, as this will comprise the wheelchair and its safety features.
After the wheelchair is fastened, remember to fasten the person by puting on the safety belt as described in
section 3.
Image 6 Restraining points and label
Standard ISO 10542-1 approved four-point Wheelchair Tie Down and Occupant Restraint Systems (WTORS)
are only tested to 85 kg. It is recommended to use an ISO 10542 complaint WTORS (Heavy Duty System)
which is rated for the total weight of the wheelchair including any options. Use four straps to secure the
wheelchair, two straps at the front and two straps at the back. If using a standard four-point WTORS for
securing a wheelchair heavier than 85 kg, use six straps to secure the wheelchair, two straps at the front and
four straps at the back.
