CONDUCT PRE-TRIP INSPECTION!
The QLK® Wheelchair Docking System and its components must be inspected for proper operation prior to each use. Do NOT use this product if it does
not operate, or function, as instructed in this manual.
DOCKING STATION SECUREMENT!
Do NOT place the vehicle in motion unless the wheelchair docking bolt is secured inside the QLK docking station, the GREEN Light is illuminated, and
the occupant restraint system (lap and shoulder belt) is properly positioned on the occupant. Do NOT use the Docking Station if the warning buzzer is
beeping (Voice states “WARNING - CHAIR NOT SECURED”), or if the dash control is non-operational or if the RED light is illuminated.
INSPECT AND MAINTAIN!
The QLK® Wheelchair Docking System and its components must be inspected regularly, cleaned, and maintained. Care must be taken to prevent
contamination of the webbing and components from any foreign substance such as polishes, oils, chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or battery acid as such
substances may damage the surface and operation of the QLK® Wheelchair Docking System. Protect the QLK® Wheelchair Docking System during
vehicle cleaning.
DO NOT USE DAMAGED COMPONENTS!
Replace any damaged, frayed, broken, defective, worn, or contaminated system components, subassemblies, or webbing.
DISCONTINUE USE AFTER A VEHICLE COLLISION!
The QLK® Wheelchair Docking System and components, including the floor and wall anchorages, must be replaced after a vehicle collision.
EMERGENCY RELEASE!
ONLY press the RED emergency release lever during an emergency or a vehicle power outage. Do NOT press the manual RED emergency release lever
while the vehicle is in motion as this action will release the wheelchair.
BUCKLE UP!
The Occupant Restraint (Lap and Shoulder Belt) MUST be properly worn while the vehicle is in motion. Improperly secured passengers are at greater risk
of serious injury or death and may tip over or be ejected from the wheelchair during normal vehicle travel, emergency maneuvers, or crashes.
The QLK® Wheelchair Docking System has been successfully dynamically tested with a crash-test dummy restrained by both lap and shoulder belts. The
use of only a lap belt may compromise the performance of the Wheelchair Tiedown and Occupant Restraint (WTORS) system and increase the risk of
serious or fatal injuries to the wheelchair occupant.
The occupant restraint (lap and shoulder belt) must be placed across the occupant’s shoulder and pelvis (lap). The webbing must not be twisted, held away
from the occupant’s body, interfere with any section of the wheelchair, or exposed to any sharp corners or edges.
MANUFACTURER APPROVED WHEELCHAIRS ONLY!
A wheelchair is not intended to be used as a seat in motor vehicles unless it’s compliant with RESNA WC-4, Section 19, ISO7176-19, and designed to
allow the transfer of loads through the wheelchair. Refer to the wheelchair manufacturer for further information.
REMOVE ADDED EQUIPMENT FROM WHEELCHAIR!
Due to variations of wheelchair designs, occupant size and weight, and loading ramp angles, any additional equipment or luggage being carried on the
wheelchair or with the occupant may create a hazardous condition for the wheelchair and its occupant to tip backwards, or sideways. We therefore
recommend that all additional equipment and luggage are removed from the wheelchair or occupant prior to boarding, maneuvering, or removal from the
vehicle.
