7. Transport
7.1. Transporting the wheelchair
To transport the wheelchair as convenient as possible, all detachable
parts (footrests, wheels, accessories) must be removed and the wheelchair
folded.
7.2. Seat in disabled vehicle
You can determine whether or not your wheelchair is approved for use
as a seat in a vehicle for transporting disabled people by referring to
the symbols on the CE sticker on the product (Fig. A, B, C).
All products approved by B+B for use as seats in vehicles are tested
in accordance with ISO 7176-19. The tests in accordance with ISO
7176-19 were performed using restraint systems from AMF-Bruns. The
correct mounting of the restraint system is a prerequisite for the safe
transportation of the products in a vehicle for transporting disabled
people and the basis for the approval.
The restraint systems from AMF-Bruns provide the ideal points for the
provision of restraint force for the purpose of securing the products in
the vehicle for transporting disabled people (known by the German
term „Kraftknoten“, which is defined in the standard DIN 75078-2).
For the purpose of providing restraint in the vehicle for transporting
disabled people, the products must only be secured at these specific
points („Kraftknoten“ points). If possible, use a permanently installed
car seat and its belt system. Stow the wheelchair in the luggage space.
The person responsible for the transportation should be familiar with
the current regulations for transportation as well as with the method of
operating the vehicle for transporting disabled people and the restraint
system. Anchored 4-point restraint systems must be used to secure the
wheelchair in the vehicle. If you have any queries about securing your
product in a vehicle for transporting disabled people, please contact
the B+B customer service.
