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.
2. A steeper (greater) angle within the preferred zone is
desirable i.e. closer to, but never exceeding 75degrees.
(Fig C).
3. The upper torso restraint belt must fit over the shoulder
and across the chest as illustrated Fig d and e
4. Restraint belts must be adjusted as tightly as possible
consistent with user comfort.
5. Restraint belt webbing must not be twisted when in use.
6. The upper torso restraint belt must fit over the shoulder
and across the shoulder as illustrated in Fig D and E.
7. 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 - H)
8. 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

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.
