Instructions for Use – Swifty 2
Use as a seat in a motor vehicle
The rehab stroller has successfully passed the crash test according to the international ISO 7176-19 standard as well as
ANSI/RESNA WC-4 - section 19 and can be used as a seat in a motor vehicle.
Important: If the rehab stroller is to be used as a seat in a motor vehicle, the following instructions are to be heeded.
The rehab stroller has been designed for transport in the forward direction. Whenever possible, the user should be
placed on one of the vehicle seats and the installed restraint system should be used. Use only chassis / passenger re-
straint systems that are in accordance with ISO 10542 to secure the rehab stroller to the floor of the vehicle.
The 4 attachment points on the rehab stroller are indicated by the following symbol:
Preparing the rehab stroller for transport:
1. Remove the following parts (if attached); abduction block, tray, sun and rain cover, sun umbrella, grip rail, and the
contents of the basket.
2. Use the installed rails to correctly position the buggy in the forward direction in the vehicle. Actuate the parking
brake.
3. Make sure that the back angle adjuster is fixed.
Fastening the rehab stroller in a motor vehicle:
1. The rehab stroller must be safely secured in the vehicle using a 4-point belt system (according to ISO 10542-2,
SAE 2249 or DIN 75078/2). (The manufacturers of these belt systems are, for example, Unwin Safety Systems und
Q'Straint.)
2. The driver and / or the assistant should be familiar with the use of these belt / restraint systems.
3. The two front belts (snap hook) must be attached to the left and right steel rings above the front wheel fork. (Fig. 26)
4. The two rear belts (snap hook) must be attached to the two safety tie-down kits on the rear frame. (Fig. 27)
Applying the restraint system:
1. The crash test was carried out with the H-belt (included in the scope of delivery). This H-belt should be used under
the belt of the restraint system.
2. The user must be secured with an approved restraint system. Thomashilfen recommends using an automatic belt or
a 3-point restraint system, in which the pelvis belt and the shoulder belt can be separated from each other. This is
necessary to be able to properly guide the restraint system through the frame of the Swifty 2. (Manufacturers of such
systems include Unwin Safety Systems and AMF-Bruns.)
3. The driver and / or the assistant should be familiar with the use of these belt / restraint systems.
4. The user's pelvis belt must be positioned flat on the user's pelvis without contacting the abdomen. The pelvis belt
should extend between the side guide and the user on the right and left sides. (Fig. 28)
5. The pelvis belt must not be separated from the user by parts of the rehab stroller (sides, wheels) (Fig. 29)
Note: The belt must not be used when it is twisted.
6. The angle of the pelvis belt should be between 30° and 75°. (Fig. 30)
7. The pelvis belt should be as tight as possible, but should also be comfortable for the user.
8. The upper body belt of the restraint system must be fastened to the vehicle wall at a height so that it is ensured that
the belt is located in the middle of the user's shoulder and passes under the push handle. (Fig. 29)
Note: Only a shoulder belt that is fastened to the side wall of the vehicle satisfies the current requirements for safely
restraining the user.
