Securing the Power Chair

NOTE: In addition to following the gen- eral guidelines below, be sure to follow all recommendations and instructions provided by the WTORS manufacturer.

„Always secure the power chair in a forward-facing position in the vehicle.

„Attach the four tie-down straps only to designated, labeled transit securement points indicated by anchor symbols on the power chair. See figure 3, 4, and 5. Tighten the straps to sufficiently remove all slack.

„Never attach tie-downs to adjustable, moving, or removable parts of the power chair such as armrests, front riggings, and wheels.

„Position the anchor points for the rear tie-down straps directly behind the rear securement points on the power chair. The front tie-down straps should anchor to floor points that are spaced wider than the power chair to provide increased lateral stability.

See figure 1.

WARNING! Ensure power chairs equipped with a transit securement system are properly secured to the motor vehicle during transport. Power chairs that are not properly secured can become a hazard to the user and to other vehicle passengers in the event of a crash, sudden stopping, or swerving, as the power chair could tip or slide out of place.
