ment of Transportation has not approvedany tie-
down systems for transportation of a user while in
a wheelchair, in a moving vehicle of any type.
It is Invacare’s position that users of wheelchairs

SAFETY SUMMARY
WARNING
DO NOT install this equipment without first read-
ingandunderstandingthisinstructionsheet.Ifyou
are unable to understand the WARNINGS, CAU-
TIONSandINSTRUCTIONS,contactahealth-care
professional , dealer or technical personnel be-
fore attempting to install this equipment - other-
wise, injury or damage may occur.
Ensure that the seat is fixed to the wheelchair. A
loose seat may lead to potentially dangerous
situations with positioning devices.
It is strongly recommended that the lap belt be
strapped across the hip area with an angle of
45o to the seating surface. Angles less than 45o
make it easier for the user to slip under the belt if
it is improperly tightened.
