Safety information

General guidance

• Wheelchair Accessories that have not been approved by the Wheelchair Manufacturer must

be removed from the wheelchair and secured in the vehicle during transport to reduce the

potential for injury. Refer to ‘Instructions For Use in Transport’ provided with the wheelchair

or contact wheelchair manufacturer for further guidance.

• These wheelchair & occupant restraint kits comply with all applicable requirements of ISO

10542, including a 48km/h, 20g frontal impact test using a forward facing 85kg surrogate

wheelchair and an ATD (test dummy) with a mass of 76.3kg. The test dummy was restrained

by both a pelvic and upper-torso restraint. Use of a pelvic only belt may compromise the

performance of the WTORS system and should be avoided.

• If the installation is to be used with an occupant head rest anchored to the vehicle, then

a vehicle-anchored back rest must be provided to minimise rearward deection of the

wheelchair seatback, preventing neck injury.

• Regular inspection of all parts is recommended and the equipment should be used only if

all components are in good condition.

• Warning: protect webbing from contacting sharp edges and corners. Replace equipment if

the webbing becomes cut, contaminated or frayed.

6KIT9, KIT10, KIT11

• Any restraints which have been subjected to a crash situation from which the vehicle must

be towed should, in the interest of safety, be replaced.

• Do not attempt to modify the equipment. For further advice on the installation and use of

these kits please contact BraunAbility. Please read this manual fully before use.

• Avoid contact with corrosive liquids. Care should be taken to prevent contamination of the

webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals.

• The restraint kit anchorages should be installed by an experienced technician/vehicle

converter. Anchorages should not be installed into unsound materials such as corroded

metal, wood, plastic and bre glass panels, without additional and suitable reinforcement.

• The equipment has been tested in a conguration similar to that recommended by

BraunAbility and any deviation from the recommendations here is the responsibility of the

installer/user. These instructions refer use with both BraunAbility rails and Solo anchors,

however the equipment may be used with any BraunAbility proprietary rail product.

Safety information

Before installing and using the kits

• Ensure that the wheelchair is correctly maintained and that the settings of any adjustable

parts are made according to ‘Instructions for Use in Transport’.

• Whenever possible remove any items of luggage etc that may be attached to the wheelchair

and secure or store separately during transport in order to reduce the potential for injury to

other passengers travelling in the vehicle.

• Extra care must be exercised when using vehicle boarding aids such as passenger lifts or

ramps during the loading process. Refer to ‘Instructions For Use’ for information on safe

slopes.

• Position the wheelchair facing forward - centrally in the designated region of the vehicle.

Ensure the wheelchair brakes are applied.

• To minimise the potential for head injuries in an impact, allow a clear space of at least

400mm behind and 650mm, (FCZ, front clear zone), in front of the head of the wheelchair

user, (Fig A). The shoulder belt anchorage must be roof or side-wall anchored at a height

level such that the belt webbing passes over the midpoint of the occupant shoulder and

at a height that is at or just above the level of the occupants shoulders so as not to impose

downward loads on the spine.

• A height provision (HHT) ranging from 1000mm to 1550mm should be made, depending

on the size of the passenger. There should also be 200mm of clear space either side of

the wheelchair centre line. If these clear space dimensions cannot be provided then

any structure protruding into this space should be adequately padded and comply with

impact performance requirements of ECE Regulation 21 ‘FMVSS 201’. All vehicle padding

should comply with the ammability requirements of ECE Regulation 118 ‘FMVSS 302’.

Note: seated head

height (HHT) ranges

from as low as

1000mm for a 6-year-

old child to 1550mm

for a tall adult.

8KIT9, KIT10, KIT11

• Wheelchair users, their carers and family are advised to check vehicle

specications to ensure that sufcient oor space is available to

accommodate the wheelchair and tie-down system. These distances

are based upon the desire to maintain clear zones for potential head

excursions of occupants provided with both upper and lower torso

restraints.

• Users of heavy powered wheelchairs are also advised to check vehicle

carrying capacity. If in doubt consult the vehicle supplier for further

details.

• Any airbag, as tted to the vehicle, shall be used only as a supplementary

occupant restraint if designed to be used in combination with the Solar

Quattro and an appropriate occupant restraint.

• Installers of these kits should take note of any vehicle airbag position

when planning the installation. Airbags can cause serious injury if a

wheelchair-seated occupant is seated too close to an airbag position. If

in doubt contact the vehicle manufacturer or your National Automotive

Regulatory Body for advice. Figure A

Safety information

Fit and use

Fitting the front wheelchair tie-down

1. The rail will have been installed in the vehicle in accordance with our own and

the vehicle converter’s instruction. Position the wheelchair within the vehicle

as required.

2. The front straps must be tted into the rail, with the yellow plungers facing

the front of the vehicle.

3. Press on the ribbed part of the ATF (Fig 1A) and push rmly towards the

wheelchair until the yellow clip drops and locks into place. Install the second

clip. The position of this must be in line with the rst. IMPORTANT: Check the

clips are fully engaged on both sides.

4. Remove the webbing from the Velcro and release the over-centre buckle by

pressing down the spring loaded bar.

5. Attach the front karabiner to the tie-down brackets (Fig 2) tted to the front

of the wheelchair. Pull the webbing gently through the over-centre buckle to

remove any slack and create an angle of around 40 to 45° (Fig 4).

6. Pull the webbing through the over-centre buckle until it is tight. With the

free hand, begin to close the buckle. Once the webbing is retained, fully

close the buckle using both hands, (Fig 3). Re-secure the Velcro to prevent

the loose end from becoming a trip hazard.

IMPORTANT: Do not over

tension the tie-down straps. Apply sufcient tension to the webbing straps

so that the body of the over-centre buckle can be rotated 90° on either side

of its natural line of attachment with moderate hand effort (Fig 5).

7. Repeat operation with the other strap. Ensure that both straps are similarly

tensioned.

8. The rear tie-down must now be tted

Removing the front tie-down

IMPORTANT: First remove the rear

tie-downs, as instructed on pages

12 and 13.

1. Release the over-centre buckle

on the front strap, loosen the

webbing and remove the

karabiner from the wheelchair.

2. Pull the webbing, close the

over-centre buckle and re-

secure the Velcro.

3. Lift the yellow retaining clip

fully and pull away from the

wheelchair to remove the front

straps from the rail. Repeat

operation on the opposite

strap.
