6.5.2 How The User is Secured Within the Mobility Device
CAUTION!
Risk of injury if the user is not properly secured
within the mobility device
– Even if the mobility device is equipped with a
posture belt, this is no substitute for a proper
safety belt which complies with ISO 10542 in
the transport vehicle. Always use the safety
belt installed in the transport vehicle.
– Safety belts must be in contact with the user's
body. They must not be held at a distance from
the user's body using parts of the mobility
device such as armrests or wheels.
– Safety belts must be pulled as tightly as
possible without causing the user discomfort.
– Safety belts must not be positioned while
twisted.
– Ensure that the third seat belt anchorage point
is not fixed directly to the vehicle floor, but to
one of the vehicle uprights.
