11.3 Crash testing on the Zippie SALSA
A representative Zippie SALSA & SALSA M wheelchair
in the heaviest possible configuration has been tested in
accordance with the dynamic performance requirements
specified in ISO 7176-19:2001 “Wheeled Mobility Devices
for use in Motor Vehicles” using the Unwins Titan 1, 6 point
strap restraint system with double straps at the rear which
conform to ISO 10542 or SAE J2249 and was used in
accordance with the WTORS manufacturer’s instructions.
The Uniwns 6 point restraint system was used for these
tests. However other restraint systems can be used as long
as :
(1) they conform to ISO 10542 or SAE J2249
(2) the unladen weight of the wheelchair does not exceed
the maximum carrying capacity of the restraint system
(3) and it is used in accordance with the WTORS
manufacturer’s instructions.
The unwins Titan 1 restraint system used in testing has
a maximum carrying capacity up to 200Kg however if the
unladen weight of your Zippie Salsa-Salsa-M is under
140Kg you may use the Unwins Gemini 4 point restraint
system rated to 140Kg or other 4 point restraint systems
that conform to ISO 10542 or SAE J2249.
WARNINGS!
All restraint systems must conform to ISO 10542 or •
SAE J2249.
All restraint systems must be used in accordance with •
the WTORS manufacturer’s instructions.
All restraint systems must be checked to make sure •
that they are sufficiently specified for the weight of the
wheelchair and rider.
Always check to make sure the Restraint system you •
are using is sufficiently specified for the weight of the
wheelchair and rider. If you are unsure of the unladen
weight of the wheelchair we recommend you always
use the Unwins Titan 1 restraint system.
Using a wheelchair restraint system with a wheelchair •
that exceeds the maximum carrying capacity may
result in the failure of the restraint system and for the
wheelchair to break loose from the restraint system,
which could lead to injury to the user or other vehicle
occupants.
