Please, make sure the following conditions are fulfilled to obtain a
safe transportation:
● Whenever possible the occupied wheelchair shall be located in a
forward-facing configuration and secured by the tie downs in accordance
with the WTORS (wheelchair tie down and occupant-restraint system)
manufacturer’s instructions.
● This wheelchair is suitable for use in vehicles and has met the
performance requirements for travelling forwards-facing in frontal impact
conditions. Its use in other configurations within a vehicle has not been
tested.
● The wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a forward-facing
orientation with the ATD (anthropomorphic test device) restrained by both
pelvic and upper torso belts.
● Both pelvic and upper torso belts should be used to reduce the
possibility of head and chest impacts with vehicle components.
● When possible, other auxiliary wheelchair equipment should be either
secured to the wheelchair or removed from the wheelchair and secured in
the vehicle during transit, so that it does not break free and cause injury to
vehicle occupants in the event of a collision.
● Positioning supports should not be relied on for occupant restraint in a
moving vehicle unless they are labeled as being in accordance with the
requirements specified in ISO 7176/19-2008.
● The wheelchair should be inspected by a manufacturer’s representative
before reuse following involvement in any type of vehicle impact.
