OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS INSTRUCTION:

1. The pelvic restraint belt must be worn low across the front of the 

pelvis so that the angle of the pelvic belt is within the preferred zone 

of 30 to 75 degrees to the horizontal.

A steeper (greater) angle within the preferred zone is desirable i.e. 

closer to, but never exceeding 75degrees. (Fig C)

2. The upper torso restraint belt must fit over the shoulder and 

across the chest as illustrated Fig d and e

Restraint belts must be adjusted as tightly as possible consistent 

with user comfort.

Restraint belt webbing must not be twisted when in use.

The upper torso restraint belt must fit over the shoulder and across 

the shoulder as illustrated in Fig D and E.

3. The attachment points to the chair are the inner front side frame 

just above the castor, and the rear side frame. The straps are fitted 

around the side frames at the intersection of the horizontal and 

vertical frame tubes. (See Figs G - K)

4. The tie down symbol (Fig F) on the wheelchair frame indicates 

the position of the wheelchair restraint straps. The straps are then 

tensioned after the front straps have been fitted to secure the 

wheelchair.

USER WEIGHT LESS THAN 22 kg (48 lb 8.0 oz)

When the user being transported is a child, less than 22Kg mass 

and the vehicle involved has less than eight (8) seated passengers 

it is recommended that they be transferred to an UNCE Regulation 

44 compliant child restraint system (CRS).

This type of restraint system provides a more effective occupant 

restraint system than the conventional 3 point occupant restraint 

system and some CRS systems also include additional postural 

supports to assist in maintaining the position of the child when 

seated.

Parents or care providers may consider the option, in some 

circumstances, for their child is to remain in their wheelchair whilst in 

transport due to the level of posture control and comfort provided by 

the set up in the wheelchair.

We would recommend in such circumstances that a risk assessment 

be carried out by your healthcare professional and relevant 

competent persons.
