Transportation Of The Occupied Wheelchair In A Vehicle - Aria 1.0 Mg Manuel D'utilisation

7.4 TRANSPORTATION OF THE OCCUPIED WHEELCHAIR IN A VEHICLE.

Even when the ARIA wheelchair is correctly fixed and the following rules are followed, there could be injuries to the
passengers in the event of an impact or an abrupt stop. Therefore, Aria Wheels strongly recommends to transfer the
user of the wheelchair onto a seat of the vehicle and to fasten his seatbelt.
Do not make any modifications or substitutions to the wheelchair (structure, framework or parts) without a written
consent by Aria Wheels S.r.l.s.
For the transportation of the occupied wheelchair inside a vehicle, this must have a securement system installed.
Both the four-point securement system for wheelchairs and the three-point securement system for passengers have
to be approved in compliance to the ISO-10542-2 regulation
WARNING!
Risk of sever injuries or death
To use the wheelchair as a seat in the vehicle the height of the backrest must be
of at least 400mm.
WARNING!
If, for any reason, it is not possible to transfer the user of the wheelchair onto a
seat of the vehicle, the wheelchair can be used as a seat in a vehicle as long as
the following rules and procedures are followed:
-The wheelchair must be fixed in the vehicle using a four-point securement
system for wheelchairs.
-The user must wear a three-point securement system for passengers fixed to the
vehicle.
-In the wheelchair the user must have the posture support belt fastened.
WARNING!
Before setting off, contact the person responsible for transportation and request
information on the availability of the equipment here listed.
Ensure there is enough free space around the wheelchair and the user to avoid
the latter touching other passengers of the vehicle, non-padded parts of the
vehicle, the accessories of the wheelchair and the anchoring points of the
securement system.
WARNING!
Verify that the lifting points of the wheelchair are not damaged and that the
parking brakes work perfectly.
The use of anti puncture tyres is recommended for transportation to avoid
problems with the brakes due to the reduction in pressure of the tyres.
