Use As A Seat In A Motor Vehicle - Thomashilfen Swifty 2 Manuel De L'utilisateur

Use as a seat in a motor vehicle

The "Crash" version of the Swifty 2 rehab stroller has successfully passed the crash test according to the international
ISO 7176/19 standard as well as ANSI / RESNA WC 4, section 19 and can be used as a seat in a motor vehicle.
IMPORTANT: If the Swifty 2 is to be used as a seat in a motor vehicle, the following instructions are to be heeded.
The Swifty 2 rehab stroller has been designed for transport in the forward direction. Whenever possible, the user should
be placed on one of the vehicle seats and the installed restraint system should be used. Use only chassis / passenger
restraint systems that are in accordance with ISO 10542 to secure the Swifty 2 rehab stroller to the floor of the vehicle.
The 4 attachment points on the Swifty 2 are indicated by the following symbol:
Preparing the Swifty 2 for transport:
1. Remove the following parts (if attached); abduction block, tray, sun and rain cover, sun umbrella, grip rail, and the
contents of the basket.
2. Use the installed rails to correctly position the buggy in the forward direction in the vehicle. Actuate the parking
brake.
3. Make sure that the hip angle adjuster is fixed.
Fastening the Swifty 2 in a motor vehicle:
1. The rehab stroller must be safely secured in the vehicle using a 4-point belt system (according to ISO 10542-2,
SAE 2249 or DIN 75078/2). (The manufacturers of these belt systems are, for example, Unwin Safety Systems und
Q'Straint.)
2. The driver and / or the assistant should be familiar with the use of these belt / restraint systems.
3. The two front belts (snap hook) must be attached to the left and right steel rings above the front wheel fork. (Fig. 24)
4. The two rear belts (snap hook) must be attached to the two safety tie-down kits on the rear frame. (Fig. 25)
Applying the restraint system:
1. The crash test was carried out with the H-belt (included in the scope of delivery). This H-belt should be used under the
belt of the restraint system.
2. The user must be secured with an approved restraint system. Thomashilfen recommends using an automatic belt or a
3-point restraint system, in which the pelvis belt and the shoulder belt can be separated from each other. This is neces-
sary to be able to properly guide the restraint system through the frame of the Swifty 2. (Manufacturers of such systems
include Unwin Safety Systems and AMF-Bruns.)
3. The driver and / or the assistant should be familiar with the use of these belt / restraint systems.
4. The user's pelvis belt must be positioned flat on the user's pelvis without contacting the abdomen. The pelvis belt
should extend between the side guide and the user on the right and left sides. (Fig. 26)
5. The pelvis belt must not be separated from the user by parts of the rehab stroller (sides, wheels) (Fig. 27)
NOTE: The belt must not be used when it is twisted.
6. The angle of the pelvis belt should be between 30° and 75°. (Fig. 28)
7. The pelvis belt should be as tight as possible, but should also be comfortable for the user.
8. The upper body belt of the restraint system must be fastened to the vehicle wall at a height so that it is ensured that
the belt is located in the middle of the user's shoulder and passes under the push handle. (Fig. 27)
NOTE: Only a shoulder belt that is fastened to the side wall of the vehicle satisfies the current requirements for safely
restraining the user.
