Intended Use; Accessories Warning; Installation Warnings - Aria BKRTR Manuel D'utilisation

Wherever practicable Aria Wheels Srls recommends that the client is transferred out of the wheelchair into
a vehicle seat using a lap and diagonal seat belt. ARIA® POSTURAL BACKRESTS may only be used in
conjunction with wheelchairs that comply with the performance requirements of RESNA WC19 or ISO7176–19.
For safe transportation of a client within a wheelchair in a motorvehicle, refer to the user manuals of the
wheelchair and tie-down and occupant restraint system (WTORS).
Wheelchair Tie-down - The wheelchair must be securely tied down within the vehicle, in a forward facing
position, in accordance with the wheelchair and tiedown manufacturers instructions.
Occupant Restraint - A suitable occupant restraint system must also be fi tted in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. A minimum is a lap and diagonal belt (lap belts on their own are not suitable).
Restraints that loop over the shoulder and anchor to the vehicle fl oor should be avoided where possible,
as they can cause a heavy downward load through the client during an impact, the preferred type anchor
above and behind the shoulder as with a car seat belt. The lap section of the belt should fi t snugly over
the pelvis of the client and should not be able to ride up to the abdominal area. The upper torso section
of belt should be in contact with the client's chest and fi t over the shoulder(s), while not cutting into the
neck or slipping off the shoulder(s).
