passenger in a wheelchair and has access that is suitable for
your wheelchair type.

The use of a lower leg restraint, placed around the shins and
around the front frame just above the castors. (Fig. 25).
a) That the wheelchair be secured by a 4-part (webbing) Tie
Down Restraint system, conforming to ISO 10542 or SAE
J2249 with non-adjustable front straps and adjustable rear
straps, which typically use Karabiner clips/S hooks and tongue
and buckle attachments.
b) Sufficient space should be available around the wheelchair
to enable clear access to attach, tighten and release the
wheelchair and occupant tie down restraints and safety belts.
c) The tie down restraints should be fitted to the main frame of
the wheelchair as indicated in the diagrams on the following
page, and not to any attachments or accessories, e.g. not
around the spokes of wheels, brakes or footrests.
d) The tie down restraints should be attached as close as
possible at an angle of 45 degrees and tightened securely in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
e) The safety of the user during transportation depends upon the
diligence of the person securing the tie down restraints and
they should have received appropriate instructions and/or
training in their use.
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.
The tie down symbol 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.
