If the packaging of your product has been damaged, (unintentionally) opened, or affected by environmental conditions (moisture, heat,...) upon delivery, check the device integrity of your product. When in doubt, contact your specialist dealer.

2.5. Transport

2.5.1. Moving out of the way

Move the wheelchair by using its wheels and rolling it to the destination.

If this is not possible, and disassembling is not desired, ask help to lift the wheelchair. Firmly grasp the frame with both hands and lift it from the floor. Do not use foot or arm rests, or wheels to grasp the wheelchair.

2.5.2. Transport by vehicle, as luggage

WARNING

Risk of injuries

• NEVER use the same seatbelt to secure the wheelchair and passenger.

• Make sure that the wheelchair is attached properly to avoid injury from the passengers during collision or sudden braking.

• Place the wheelchair in its most upright sitting position.

• Store the wheelchair and its parts in the luggage compartment. If luggage and passenger compartments are NOT separated or enclosed, fasten the wheelchair frame securely to the vehicle.

You can use a ramp to push the wheelchair inside the vehicle, see §3.4.3.. Apply the parking brakes after loading, see §3.1..

EN

2.5.3. Transport by vehicle, as seat for the user

WARNING

Risk of injuries

• The wheelchair has passed the crash test of ISO 7176-19: 2022 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.
• Use the wheelchair's pelvic belt and the applicable three-points belt in the vehicle to prevent head and chest impacts with the vehicle.
• Do not use postural supports to restrain the user in the vehicle unless they are labelled as being in accordance with the requirements specified in ISO 7176-19:2022.
• Following involvement in any type of vehicle collision, have your wheelchair inspected by the specialist dealer or manufacturer's representative before reuse.

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.

2.5.3.1. 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).

2.5.3.2. Steps to secure the wheelchair user:

1. Remove both armrests.
2. If present, attach the wheelchair's pelvic belt.
3. Attach the occupant restraint belts according to the instructions of the strap-system manufacturer.

i Wear the pelvic belt low across the front of the pelvis, so that the angle of the pelvic belt is within the preferred zone of 30^ to 75^ to the horizontal, similar to that shown on the image.

A steeper (greater) angle within the preferred zone is desirable.

30° 75°

1. Adjust the belt tightly according to the instructions of the strap-system manufacturer, consistent with the user's comfort.
2. Ensure that the restraint belt connects in a straight line to the anchor point in the vehicle and that no bends in the belt are visible, for instance at the axle of the rear wheel.
3. Install the armrests, if desired. Make sure that belts are not twisted or held away from the body by wheelchair components such as armrests or wheels.
4. Position the seatbelt buckle so that the release button will not be contacted by wheelchair components during a crash.
5. Make sure that the shoulder-belt restraints fit over the shoulders, see figure 4.

Belt restraints must not be held away from the body by wheelchair components such as armrests or wheels.
