Transport

2.4.1 Moving out of the way
The best way to move the wheelchair is to make use of the wheels and roll the wheelchair.
If this is not possible (e.g. when the rear wheels are taken off for transportation in a car), firmly
grasp the frame on the front and the handgrips. Do not use the foot- or armrests or the wheels to
grasp the wheelchair.
2.4.2 Transport by vehicle, as luggage
WARNING
 Make sure that that the wheelchair is properly secured to avoid injury to the passengers during
collision or sudden braking.
 NEVER use the same seatbelt to attach the wheelchair and passenger.
1. Fold the wheelchair to its most compact size according to the instructions in § 2.5.
2. Store the wheelchair and its wheels in the luggage compartment or behind the passenger seat.
If luggage and passenger compartments are NOT separated or enclosed, fasten the
wheelchair frame securely to the vehicle.
2.4.3 Transport by vehicle, as seat for user
WARNING
 The wheelchair has passed the crash of ISO 7176-19: 2008 and, as such, has been designed
and tested for use only as forward-facing seat in a motor vehicle.
 The wheelchair's pelvic belt alone is not suited as an occupant restraint belt.
The wheelchair is tested using the four-point strap-tie system and a 3-point occupant-restraint
system. Whenever feasible, use the seat of the vehicle and store the wheelchair in the cargo
area.
Steps to secure the wheelchair in a motor vehicle:
1. Check that the vehicle is equipped with a suitable wheelchair tie down and occupant-
restraint system, conform ISO 10542.
2. Check that the components of the wheelchair tie down and occupant restraint system are
not frayed, contaminated, damaged or broken.
3. If equipped with an adjustable seat and/or back tilt, make sure that the wheelchair user is
sitting as upright as possible. If the user's condition prevents this, a risk assessment should
be done to evaluate the user's safety during transit.
4. Remove all mounted accessories such as trays and respiratory equipment, and secure them
in a safe place.
5. Position the wheelchair facing forward in the travelling direction, centrally between the tie-
down rails mounted in the floor of the vehicle.
6. Mount the front securement straps according to the instructions of the strap-system
manufacturer at the indicated place (figure 1). This place is marked on the wheelchair with
a symbol (figure 2).
7. Roll back the wheelchair until the front straps are tight.
8. Apply the wheelchair brake.
9. Mount the back securement straps according to the instructions of the strap-system
manufacturer at the indicated place (figure 1). This place is marked on the wheelchair with
a symbol (figure 2).
