4.23 Transportation
Flexx Tall (KM-8022 TL/ KM-8522 TL) fulfils the performance requirements for
a “Crash Test” of ISO 7176-19 and is suitable to use as a seat in vehicles
that have been adapted for this purpose. The wheelchair must be securely
restrained as described in this manual. Flexx Tall (KM-8022 TL/ KM-8522 TL)
was tested with a four point webbing system. For further information on the
use of wheelchair restraints, please refer to the manufacturer's user guide.
KARMA always recommend that the user transfers to the vehicle seat,
because using a wheelchair as a seat in a vehicle does not provide the
equivalent level of safety of a vehicle seating system.
● As of this date, the Flexx HD (KM-8022 HD/ KM-8522 HD) can NOT be
used as seats in any vehicles. That is, KARMA recommends that users
are NOT transported in any vehicle while seated in the wheelchair. In
the case of accident or a sudden stop, the user or passengers may be at
risk of getting injury. The suggested solution is to transfer the user
from the wheelchair into a vehicle seat and to securely stow the
wheelchair in a separate compartment.
● Please transfer to a seat in the vehicle in all permitted cases.
4.23.1 Before use
4.23.1.1 Please detach all easily removable accessories from the wheelchair
and store them in a safe place where they cannot move around and
become a safety hazard.
