two securing points on the front end and two securing points on
each rear side of the frame. The securing points are indicated with
a sticker. These securing points and its location have been

The angle of the straps should be around 45° to the horizontal plane. This is to
have maximum effect in vertical and horizontal direction.
The straps must be connected to the vehicle at suitable anchor points. Make
sure that the tire pressure is at the recommended level if it’s used pneumatic
tires, so straps can have maximum effect. Make sure straps are tightened to
keep optimal security.
Poor fixations of the wheelchair in a vehicle might cause damage to the
vehicle itself, the wheelchair or the passengers inside the vehicle while
driving. Not using a car safety belt for fixation while sitting in a wheelchair
might lead to serious injuries in case of an accident.
Alterations or substitutions should not be made to the wheelchair
securement points or to structural and frame parts or components without
consulting the wheelchair manufacturer.
