Risk of tipping over

If fitted, the anti-tip wheels which are fitted on both sides (see Chapter
4.16) will largely prevent the wheelchair from tipping over backwards.
However please note that driving with anti-tip wheels is only possible
in a limited way on ground with different levels, lift platforms and
ramps. Make sure there is sufficient gap at the top, bottom and sides.

Safety in vehicles

To see whether your wheelchair is permitted for use as a seat in a
Vehicle for Transporting Individuals with Impaired Mobility or not, you
can refer to the sticker next to the identification label on the wheelchair.
• Wheelchair is designed for use as a seat in a Vehicle for
Transporting Individuals with Impaired Mobility (Fig. A).
• Wheelchair is not designed for use as a seat in a Vehicle for
Transporting Individuals with Impaired Mobility (Fig. B)
If your wheelchair is not designed to be used as a seat in a vehicle,
under no circumstances must it be used as such. It does not fulfil the
requirements in compliance with ISO 7176-19. Violation can cause the
most serious injuries resulting in death in the case of an accident
(Fig. B).
All products approved by Bischoff & Bischoff as seats in vehicles are
tested according to ISO 7176-19. The tests according to ISO 7176-19
were carried out with the restraint systems of AMF-Bruns.
With the installation of a restraint system, the wheelchair can be used
as a vehicle seat.
The correct assembly of the restraint system is a prerequisite for the
safe transport of the products in the motor vehicle for the transport of
mobility impaired persons (VMP) and the basis for the release. Fixing
points on the restraint system (Fig. A).
The restraint systems of AMF-Bruns provide the force nodes (Fig. A)
for fixing the products in the VMP. The products may only be attached
to these force node points for restraint in the VMP. If possible, use a
permanently installed car seat and its belt system. Stow the wheelchair
in the load compartment. The person responsible for the transport
should be familiar with the current regulations for transport and with
the operation of the VMP and the restraint system. Four-point restraint
