2.4 Transport
2.4.1 Transport in the car, as luggage
Risk of injury
Make sure that the wheelchair is attached properly to avoid injury from the passengers during
collision or sudden braking.
NEVER use the same seatbelt to attach the wheelchair and passenger.
1. Remove footrests and accessories.
2. Store footrests and accessories safely.
3. If possible, fold the wheelchair and remove the wheels.
4. Place the wheelchair in the luggage place.
5. If the wheelchair and the passenger compartment is NOT separated, attach the frame of the

2.4.2 Use of the wheelchair as seat in a motor vehicle
Risk of injuries
The wheelchair has passed the crash of ISO 7176-19: 2008 and, as such, has been designed
and tested for use only as forward-facing seat in a motor vehicle.
The wheelchair's pelvic belt alone is not suited as an occupant restraint belt.
The wheelchair is tested using the four-point strap-tie system and a 3-point occupant-restraint
system. Whenever feasible, use the seat of the vehicle and store the wheelchair in the cargo
area.
Steps to secure the wheelchair in a motor vehicle:
1. Check that the vehicle is equipped with a suitable wheelchair tie down and occupant-
restraint system, conform ISO 10542.
2. Check that the components of the wheelchair tie down and occupant restraint system are
not frayed, contaminated, damaged or broken.
3. If equipped with an adjustable seat and/or back tilt, make sure that the wheelchair user is
sitting as upright as possible. If the user's condition prevents this, a risk assessment should
be done to evaluate the user's safety during transit.
4. Remove all mounted accessories such as trays and respiratory equipment, and secure
them in a safe place.
5. Position the wheelchair facing forward in the travelling direction, centrally between the tie-
down rails mounted in the floor of the vehicle.
6. Mount the front securement straps according to the instructions of the strap-system
manufacturer at the indicated place. (figure 1) This place is marked on the wheelchair with
a symbol. (figure 2)
7. Roll back the wheelchair until the front straps are tight.
8. Apply the wheelchair brake.
9. Mount the back securement straps according to the instructions of the strap-system
manufacturer at the indicated place. (figure 1)
10. This place is marked on the wheelchair with a symbol. (figure 2)

Steps to secure the wheelchair user:
1. Remove both armrests.
2. If present, attach the wheelchair's pelvic belt.
3. Attach the occupant restraint belts according to the instructions of the strap-system
manufacturer.
4. Wear the pelvic belt low across the front of the pelvis, so that the angle of the pelvic belt is
within the preferred zone of 30° to 75° to the horizontal, similar to that shown below.
5. A steeper (greater) angle within the preferred zone is desirable.
6. Adjust the belt tightly according to the instructions of the strap-system manufacturer,
consistent with the user's comfort.
7. Ensure that the restraint belt connects in a straight line to the anchor point in the vehicle
and that no bends in the belt are visible, for instance at the axle of the rear wheel.
8. Install the armrests, if desired. Make sure that belts are not twisted or held away from the
body by wheelchair components such as armrests or wheels.

Before every usage, make sure that:
o parking brakes are working properly.
o tires are in good condition, see §5.
Prevent your fingers from being caught by the wheel spokes.
Do not operate the hand rims with wet hands.
Prevent entrapment of your hands on the hand rims when you pass small passages.
Do NOT drive on slopes, obstacles, steps or kerbs larger than specified in §6.
When you stop on a (small) slope, use your brakes.
Make sure all four wheels touch the ground while riding up or down a slope.
Take slopes as slow as possible.
Always stay on the pavement when riding on public roads.
Pay attention if the road has holes or gaps that may cause entrapment of the wheels.
Avoid stones and other objects that may block the wheels.
Make sure that the footplates do not touch ground while taking an obstacle.
Do not use your wheelchair on an escalator.
If available, wear your safety belt.
Always keep the swing range of the footplate in mind to prevent bystanders from being injured
or objects from being damaged.
If you don’t have enough experience riding your wheelchair, ask assistance of an attendant.
Keep your arms away from the wheels and keep your feet on the footplate.
Stairs should always be negotiated with the help of two attendants.
Never try to use stairs that are not appropriate for wheelchairs.
3.7.1 Riding your wheelchair:
1. Release the brakes.
2. Take both hand rims at their highest position.
3. Lean forward and push the hand rims forward until straight arms.
4. Swing your arms loosely back to the hand rims topside and repeat the movement.
3.7.2 Moving on slopes
Risk of injuries
Consider the capacities of your attendant – If your attendant does not have enough force to
control the wheelchair, put on the brakes.
Lean forward to move your centre of gravity forward. This improves the stability.
1. If available on the wheelchair, wear the safety belt.
2. Do not attempt to move on too high slopes. The maximum slope angles
(upwards and downwards) are mentioned in §6.
3. Ask an attendant to help you on the slope.

3.7.3 Negotiating steps or kerbs
Getting down steps or kerbs
Risk of tipping over If you do not have enough experience with your
wheelchair, ask assistance of an attendant.

2. Lean forward to move your centre of gravity forward.
3. Move the wheelchair close to the kerbs.
4. Use the hand rim to roll the wheelchair off the kerb in a
controlled manner.
Moving up steps or kerbs
Risk of tipping over If you do not have enough experience with your
wheelchair, ask assistance of an attendant.
Move up steps or kerbs with attendant as follows:
1. Prevent the footplates from touching the kerb.
2. Ask the attendant to tip the wheelchair backwards, just enough to
move the front wheels over the kerb.
3. Lean backwards to move your centre of gravity above the rear wheel.
4. Place the front wheels on the kerb.
5. Roll rear wheels of the wheelchair over the kerb.
Higher kerbs are negotiated backwards:
1. Turn the wheelchair to have the rear wheels facing the kerb.
2. Lean backwards and move your centre of gravity above the rear wheels.
3. Ask the attendant to pull the wheelchair on the kerb.
4. Take back the normal position in the wheelchair.
An experienced user can negotiate kerbs by himself:
1. Drive until the kerbs.
2. Ensure that the footplates do not touch the kerbs.
3. Lean backwards so you are balancing on the rear wheels.
4. Role the front wheels balancing over the kerbs.
5. Bend forward for more stability.
6. Role the rear wheels over the kerbs.

5 Maintenance
5.1 Points of maintenance
Risk of injuries and damage
Repairs and replacements may only be undertaken by trained persons and only genuine
replacement parts of Vermeiren should be used.

more often. The minimum maintenance frequency depends on use and should therefore be
commonly agreed on with your specialist dealer.
5.2 Instructions for maintenance
5.2.1 Wheels and tyres
P
roper working of the brakes depends on the state of the tyres, and can change due to
wear and contamination (water, oil, mud, …).

Contact your specialist dealer for this matter.
Inflate each pneumatic tyre to the correct pressure (see pressure indication on the tyres).
5.2.2 Cleaning
Risk of damage
Never use a hose or high-pressure cleaner to clean the wheelchair.
Wipe all rigid parts of the wheelchair with a damp cloth (not drenched).
