SECURING THE WHEELCHAIR TO THE TRACK SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE FLOOR 

 

The  Corgi  Wheelchair  must  be  secured  to  the  vehicle  floor  using  a  4-point  webbing  restraint 
system.  The Hook or Karabiner version should be used. 

THE WHEELCHAIR MUST BE IN A FORWARD FACING POSITION. 
 

Wheel  the  wheelchair  into  position  and  apply  the  brakes.    The front  of  the  wheelchair  is  secured 
first.  Attach  the  front  restraints  to  the  track  system  making  sure  that  they  are  locked  in  position. 
Attach the restraint  to the tie-down point  which  is clearly marked on the wheelchair chassis. Now 
that the front of the wheelchair has been secured, carefully move the wheelchair backwards to take 
up the slack in the front restraints, and re-apply the brakes.  The rear restraints are attached to the 
backrest  bracket  of  the  wheelchair  frame  at  the  clearly  marked  attachment  point.  When  the 
restraint is also attached to the track system in the vehicle floor, use the ratchet to pull the restraint 
tight. Make sure that you have tensioned the restraint on both sides of the  wheelchair, and check 
that the wheelchair feels secure. 
 

The  restraints  should be attached  at  an  angle  of  no  more  than  45  degrees to the  vehicle  floor.  If 
you  are  in  any  doubt,  contact  the  restraint  manufacturer  for  specific  instructions  relating  to  their 
system, or your dealer for queries relating to the wheelchair. 

 

SECURING THE PASSENGER RESTRAINT AROUND THE OCCUPANT AND ATTACHING TO 
THE TRACK SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE FLOOR.

 

 

The following points relate to the safety of the occupant: 
 

  Check that occupant weighs no more than 35kg. 
  Make sure that the seat base is at 90 degrees to the seat back. The seat back should be as 

upright as possible. 

  No additional seating cushions should be used in transportation. 

 
The wheelchair occupant  is protected by a 3-point passenger restraint,  described by the restraint 
manufacturer as a SPLIT REEL DOUBLE INERTIA. 
The double inertia reel is attached to the track system on the track closest to the vehicle wall, on 
which  the  upper  torso  anchorage  is  mounted.  The  stalk  with  the  buckle  is  placed  opposite  the 
double inertia reel on the other track. These should be positioned about 14 inches/350mm behind 
the wheelchair backrest to ensure a steep angle of application of the lap belt. The lap belt is reeled 
out from the front of the double inertia reel, fed between the wheelchair hip guide and the backrest 
in  order  to  maintain  a  steep  angle  over  the  pelvis.  The  belt  must  fit  snugly  over  the  pelvis  and 
between the hip guide and the backrest on the other side of the seat unit. The clip then attaches to 
the stalk, which is fixed to the track in the vehicle floor. The lap belt should be adjusted to be close 
fitting to avoid abdominal intrusion on impact. 
The  upper  torso  restraint  is  reeled  out  of  the  rear  of  the  double  inertia  unit.  The  leading  clip  is 
passed over the occupant’s shoulder, and attached to the buckle on the lap belt. This will be found 
just above the lap belt attachment to the stalk. The remaining clip is then attached to the restraint 
anchorage on the vehicle wall.  This should be adjusted to be at, or just above, shoulder level. The 
upper torso restraint should be adjusted to be close fitting and comfortable for the occupant.
