restraints should not be worn or twisted in a manner that reduces the area of contact of the
belt webbing with the occupant
This wheelchair has the following ratings if WC4-19/ISO7176-19 tie downs are fitted

Extent to which proper belt fit is achieved: Excellent
ISO7176-19 states that a mid size adult male weighs between 75 and 136Kgs and the
appropriate ATD (crash test dummy) would weigh approximately 76Kg. This weelchair was
tested with a 76Kg ATD. Occupants with a higher weight are at increased risk during an
accident and a weight over 136Kgs is outside the scope of the testing conducted.
The wheelchair should only be used in motor vehicles as described in the
wheelchair manufacturer’s instructions
The wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a forward facing mode when
loaded with a crash test dummy restrained with pelvic and shoulder belts.
