DANGER!

There is a risk of serious injury or death if this advice is ignored!

Transportation of your wheelchair within a vehicle:

A wheelchair secured in a vehicle will not provide the equivalent

level of safety and security as a vehicle seating system. We

recommend that the user transfers to the vehicle seating. It is

recognised that this 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 should

be followed:

DANGER!

• Confirm that your chair is crashtest suitable (see nameplate

or crashtest bracket at the rear of the chair (Fig. I)

• 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 wheelchair 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.

• 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. A).

• The wheelchair should be secured by a Tie Down Restraint

system, conforming to ISO 10542 or SAE J2249 with non-

adjustable front straps and adjustable rear straps, which

typically use Karabiner clips/S hooks and tongue and

buckle fittings. These restraints generally comprise of 4

individual straps that are attached to each corner of the

wheelchair.

• The tie-down restraints should be fitted to the main frame of

the wheelchair as indicated in the diagram on the following

page, and not to any attachments or accessories, e.g. not

around the spokes of wheels, brakes or footrests.

• The tie–down restraints should be attached as close as

possible at an angle of 45 degrees and tightened securely in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Alterations or substitutions must not be made to the wheelchair

tie down points or to structural and frame or components

without consulting the manufacturer. Failure to do so will

invalidate the ability of a Sunrise Medical wheelchair to be

transported within a vehicle.

• Both pelvic and upper torso restraint belts must be used to

restrain the occupant to reduce the possibility of head and

chest impacts with the vehicle components and serious risk of

injury to the user and other vehicle occupants. (Fig. B) The

upper torso restraint belt should be mounted to the vehicle “B”

pillar - failure to do so will increase the risk of serious

abdominal injuries to the user.

• A head restraint suitable for transportation (see label on

headrest) must be fitted and suitably positioned at all times

during transportation.

• 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.

• The safety of the user during transportation depends upon the

diligence of the person securing the tie-down restraints and

they should have received appropriate instructions and/or

training in their use.

• Wherever possible remove and stow safely away from the

wheelchair all auxiliary equipment, for example:

• Crutches, Loose cushions and Tray Tables.

• Articulating/elevating legrest should not be used in the elevated

position when the wheelchair and user are being transported

and the wheelchair is restrained using Wheelchair Transport

and Occupant Restraints.

• Reclining backrests should be returned to an upright position.

• The manual brakes must be firmly applied.

• Restraints should be mounted to the vehicle “B” pillar and

should not be held away from the body by wheelchair

components such as armrest or wheels.
