Safety information

General guidance
• Wheelchair Accessories that have not been approved by the Wheelchair Manufacturer
must be removed from the wheelchair and secured in the vehicle during transport to
reduce the potential for injury. Refer to ‘Instructions For Use in Transport’ provided with
the wheelchair or contact wheelchair manufacturer for further guidance.
• These wheelchair tie-downs comply with all applicable requirements of ISO 10542,
including a 48km/h, 20g frontal impact test using a forward facing 85kg surrogate
wheelchair and an ATD (test dummy) with a mass of 76.3kg. The test dummy was
restrained by both a pelvic and upper-torso restraint. Use of a pelvic only belt may
compromise the performance of the WTORS system and should be avoided.
• If the installation is to be used with an occupant head rest anchored to the vehicle, then
a vehicle-anchored back rest must be provided to minimise rearward deection of the
wheelchair seatback, preventing neck injury.
• Regular inspection of all parts is recommended and the equipment should be used only if
all components are in good condition.
• Warning: protect webbing from contacting sharp edges and corners. Replace equipment
if the webbing becomes cut, contaminated or frayed.
6Combined retractable tie-down and occupant restraints

• Any restraints which have been subjected to a crash situation from which the vehicle must
be towed, should, in the interest of safety, be replaced.
• Do not attempt to modify the equipment. For further advice on the installation and use of
these restraints please contact BraunAbility. Please read this manual fully before use.
• Avoid contact with corrosive liquids. Care should be taken to prevent contamination of the
webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals.
• The tie-down anchorages should be installed by an experienced technician/vehicle
converter. Anchorages should not be installed into unsound materials such as corroded
metal, wood, plastic and bre glass panels, without additional and suitable reinforcement.
• The equipment has been tested in a conguration similar to that recommended by
BraunAbility and any deviation from the recommendations here is the responsibility of the
installer/user.

Safety information

Before installing and using the combined retractable tie-downs
with occupant restraints
• Ensure that the wheelchair is correctly maintained and that the settings of any
adjustable parts are made according to ‘Instructions for Use in Transport’.
• Whenever possible remove any items of luggage etc that may be attached to the
wheelchair and secure or store separately during transport in order to reduce the
potential for injury to other passengers travelling in the vehicle.
• Extra care must be exercised when using vehicle boarding aids such as passenger
lifts or ramps during the loading process. Refer to ‘Instructions For Use’ for
information on safe slopes.
• Position the wheelchair facing forward - centrally in the designated region of the
vehicle. Ensure the wheelchair brakes are applied.
• To minimise the potential for head injuries in an impact, allow a clear space of at
least 400mm behind and 650mm, (FCZ, front clear zone), in front of the head of
the wheelchair user, (Fig A). The shoulder belt anchorage must be roof or side-wall
anchored at a height level such that the belt webbing passes over the midpoint of the
occupant shoulder and at a height that is at or just above the level of the occupants
shoulders so as not to impose downward loads on the spine.
• A height provision (HHT) ranging from 1000mm to 1550mm should be made,
depending on the size of the passenger. There should also be 200mm of clear space
either side of the wheelchair centre line. If these clear space dimensions cannot be
provided then any structure protruding into this space should be adequately padded
and comply with impact performance requirements of ECE Regulation 21 ‘FMVSS
201’. All vehicle padding should comply with the ammability requirements of ECE
Regulation 118 ‘FMVSS 302’.
Note: seated head
height (HHT)
ranges from as low
as 1000mm for a
6-year-old child to
1550mm for a tall
adult.
8Combined retractable tie-down and occupant restraints

• Wheelchair users, their carers and family are advised to check vehicle
specications to ensure that sufcient oor space is available to
accommodate the wheelchair and tie-down system. These distances
are based upon the desire to maintain clear zones for potential head
excursions of occupants provided with both upper and lower torso
restraints.
• Users of heavy powered wheelchairs are also advised to check vehicle
carrying capacity. If in doubt consult the vehicle supplier for further
details.
• Any airbag, as tted to the vehicle, shall be used only as a
supplementary occupant restraint if designed to be used in
combination with the wheelchair tie-down.
• Installers of these restraints should take note of any vehicle airbag
position when planning the installation. Airbags can cause serious
injury if a wheelchair-seated occupant is seated too close to an airbag
position. If in doubt contact the vehicle manufacturer or your National
Automotive Regulatory Body for advice.
