Equipment storage and maintenance
After care
•
Store the restraint safely off the floor to avoid damage and ensure that
it cannot become a projectile in an accident. This can be achieved by
using a wall mounted storage bag such as SLR111.
•
Regularly inspect the wheelchair restraint systems for damage, wear or
malfunction. If any problems are identified replace it 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 flailing 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 flood buckles,
karabiner fittings or floor 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.
