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 surrogate 85kg
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 wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint system
(WTORS) and should be avoided.
• If the installation is to be used with an occupant headrest anchored to the vehicle, then
a vehicle-anchored back rest must be provided to minimise rearward deection 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, frayed, or contaminated with polishes, oils or chemicals,
particularly battery acid.
• 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
this wheelchair tie-down, 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 wheelchair 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 breglass panels, without additional and suitable
reinforcement.
• The equipment has been tested in a conguration recommended by BraunAbility and any
deviation from the recommendations here is the responsibility of the installer/user.

Before installing the wheelchair tie-down 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 traveling in the vehicle.
• Position the wheelchair facing forward - centrally in the designated region of the vehicle.
Ensure the wheelchair brakes are applied.
• To minimize the potential for head injuries in an impact, allow a clear space of at least
450mm (18in) behind and 650mm (26in), (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 (39in) to 1550mm (61in) should be made,
depending on the size of the passenger. There should also be 200mm (8in) of clear
space either side of the wheelchair center line. If these clear space dimensions cannot
be provided then any structure protruding into this area 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 (39in)
for a 6-year-old
child to 1550mm
(61in) for a tall
adult.

• Wheelchair users, their caregivers and family are advised to check
vehicle specications to ensure that sufcient 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 WTORS.
• Installers of this tie-down 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.

IMPORTANT: First remove the
occupant restraint, as instructed in the
relevant manual.
1. Release the webbing tension in
each rear side by pressing the silver
release button on the over-centre
buckles and detach the karabiner,
J-hook or tongue and buckle
arrangement from the wheelchair’s
frame.
2. Remove each tie-down from the
anchor by rotating the tie-down
through 90°, (Fig. 8) so that the
raised protrusion on the cleat is
aligned with the indent on the oor
anchors, (Fig. 9). Slide off.
3. Pull the tie-down away from the
oor anchor and store safely.

NOTE
Note that angles indicated are obtained by projecting the angle of each tie-down strap
onto a vertical plane parallel to the wheelchair reference plane (side view) or onto a vertical
plane that is perpendicular to the wheelchair reference plane (rear view).
1. Install the Quattro restraints onto the Solo anchors, in the same way as the
fronts.
2. When using tie-down with J-hooks or karabiners, ensure that the karabiner /
J-hook gates are facing outwards. If using tongue and buckle, the buckle may
be positioned facing inboard or outboard.
3. Remove the webbing from the Velcro patch and release the over-centre
buckle by pressing the silver button (Fig. 7A).
4. Attach the karabiner, J-hook or tongue and buckle arrangements around the
rear wheelchair frame to create an angle of around 30 to 45° within the rear
view zone, (Fig. 5). (Some wheelchairs will indicate this tie-down position, Fig.
6).
5. Pull the webbing through the over-centre buckle until it is tight. With the free
hand, begin to close the buckle. Once the webbing is retained, fully close the
buckle using both hands. Re-secure the Velcro to prevent the loose end from
becoming a trip hazard.
6. Similar tension should exist in all four tie-down webbings. Tension should be
such that the over centre buckle can be turned 90° in either direction using
moderate hand pressure. Adjust as necessary.
7. An occupant restraint should now be fitted.

Warranty
BraunAbility products are extensively tested using BraunAbility
anchorage systems, and our full warranty normally only applies
to BraunAbility equipment when used with BraunAbility branded
anchorages or as instructed. BraunAbility have also participated in test
programs with other manufacturers anchorage products and will support
warranty on the BraunAbility products when used in conjunction with
such jointly tested systems. For further details on specic applications
please contact the Sales Ofce. In other situations, using BraunAbility
products, for which BraunAbility has not participated in a joint test
program, a limited BraunAbility warranty will apply.
Equipment storage and maintenance
• Store the restraint safely in supplied bag, off the oor, to avoid
damage and ensure that it cannot become a projectile in an accident.
• Regularly inspect the wheelchair restraint systems for damage, wear
or malfunction. If any problems are identied replace components
immediately.
• When not in use, keep loose occupant webbing ends connected
to their corresponding buckle sleeves, etc, to prevent them from
becoming trip hazards and from ailing around when the vehicle is in
motion.
• All webbing and components can be cleaned as necessary, but care
should be taken to prevent contamination of the webbings with
polishes, oils and chemicals, particularly battery acid.
• To clean the straps use warm soapy water and a clean soft cloth. Rinse
with clear water and allow to air dry. To disinfect, use a mild spray
disinfectant and do not use products containing bleach. Important:
when cleaning or disinfecting, do not immerse or ood buckles,
karabiner ttings or oor anchors in the disinfectant or water.
• If the vehicle is involved in an accident when any restraints are
deployed, remove them from service and replace immediately. If in
doubt please contact BraunAbility.
