Proper Use of Equipment

PROPERUSEOFEQUIPMENT

The correct use of equipment that complies with SAE J2249 and

ANSI/RESNA WC19 may not prevent all crash-related injuries to wheelchair-

seated occupants, but it will greatly reduce the risk of serious injuries.

Securing the Wheelchair

When securing the occupied wheelchair, it is important that the WTORS

anchor points on the floor and wall of the motor vehicle are positioned

properly according to the WTORS manufacturer’s instructions.

The wheelchair must be positioned facing forward inside the vehicle.

Position the wheelchair between the front and rear tiedown anchor points,

allowing for the correct angle of adjustment of the tiedown straps, as

illustrated in Fig. 6.

Your Convaid transit wheelchair can be easily secured by four-point strap-type

tiedowns by attaching the hook end fittings of the tiedown straps to the four

red securement-point brackets located on the four tubular legs of the

wheelchair or by threading tiedown straps through the openings in the

securement points.

The floor anchor points and wheelchair should be located:

 so that the tiedown straps follow a straight, clear path from the

wheelchair securement points to the floor anchor points and

 so that the front straps are angled outward from the sides of the

wheelchair (see Fig. 7) and

 so that the rear straps are anchored straight back from the wheelchair

securement points

Once all four tiedown straps are attached to the wheelchair:

 inspect all tiedown straps for signs of wear to the webbing and replace

any straps that are worn and

 tighten the straps to remove any excess slack and provide tension

between the front and rear tiedown straps
