General information on transport

Only the tested and approved wheelchair and occu-
pant restraint system from AMF-Bruns may be used for
transporting the SIMPLY
cles for the transportation of the disabled In addition,
a 4-point restraint system from AMF-Bruns is required
for transport in motor vehicles For information on how
to correctly secure the force application point system
in the respective vehicle, please see the manufacture's
instructions and the following chapter 102 „Transport
with an AMF force application point system"

of the transport safety device
If you attach the safety device for transport
in a vehicle to the wrong places on the product,
it cannot be transported safely
Never secure the transport safety device to the

frame or other unsuitable basic components!

10.2. Transport with an AMF force application point system

The SIMPLY undercarriage was subjected to a crash
®
test as standard version with maximum fittings in ac-
cordance with ISO 7176-19 Some models are custom-
made and cannot be tested in a crash test Nonethe-
less, the custom-made model is also fitted with a force
application point system manufactured by AMF Bruns
Further information is available at wwwamf-brunsde
The undercarriage is marked on four points which
indicate the mounting points for the tension belts for
transportation with motor vehicles Only use the pro-
vided mounting points for strapping with tension belts
When fitted correctly, the head rest of the seat shell
is very robust, but cannot replace head rests fitted to
motor vehicles
Caution!
The SIMPLY undercarriage has been
®
tested without an additional drive If an
additional electrical drive is to be added, then this
accessory is to be disassembled if the SIMPLY
dercarriage is to be transported in a motor vehicle
