DANGER!

Alterations or substitutions must not be made to •

the wheelchair securement points or to structural

and frame or components without consulting the

manufacturer. Failure to do so will invalidate the

ability of the wheelchair to be transported within a

vehicle.

The wheelchair should be inspected by a Sunrise Medical

authorised dealer before re-use following involvement in

any type of vehicle impact.

DANGER!

Both pelvic and upper torso restraint belts must be •

used to restrain the occupant (Fig 13.2) to reduce

the possibility of head and chest impacts with the

vehicle components.

NOTE: This wheelchair has been successfully crash

tested with the Unwins headrest. Sunrise Medical

recommends that you use a suitably positioned headrest

when being transported in the wheelchair. However it is

highly recommended that as a preference you transfer

from your wheelchair to a seat within the motor vehicle.

WARNING!

Postural supports (lap straps, lap belts) should not be •

used or relied on for occupant restraint in a moving

vehicle unless they are labelled as meeting the

requirements specified in ISO 7176-19:2001 or SAE

J2249.

Spill proof sealed batteries such as “gelled •

electrolyte” must be installed on powered wheelchairs

when used in a motor vehicle.

13.0 Transportation

A wheelchair secured in a vehicle will not provide the

equivalent level of safety and security as a vehicle

seating system. Sunrise Medical recommends that

the user transfers to the vehicle seating and uses the

vehicle-installed restraint system wherever possible.

Sunrise Medical recognises that it is not always practical

for the user to be transferred and in these circumstances,

where the user must be transported whilst in the

wheelchair, the following advice must be followed:

13.1 Transportation Warnings

WARNING!

Confirm that the vehicle is suitably equipped to •

transport a passenger in a wheelchair, and ensure

the method of access/egress is suitable for your

wheelchair type. The vehicle should have the floor

strength to take the combined weight of the user, the

wheel chair and accessories.

Sufficient space should be available around the •

wheelchair to enable clear access to attach, tighten

and release the wheelchair and occupant tie down

restraints and safety belts.

The occupied wheelchair must be located in •

a forward facing position and secured by the

wheelchair tie down and occupant restraint straps

(WTORS tie downs meeting the requirements of ISO

10542 Part 2 or SAE J2249) in accordance with the

WTORS manufacturer’s instructions. Refer to the

section ‘Tie Down Instructions’ for further information

on transporting your wheelchair.

The wheelchair’s use in other positions within a •

vehicle has not been tested e.g. transportation in a

side facing position must not be carried out under

any circumstances. (Fig 13.1).
