7. Transport

7.1. Transporting the wheelchair

To transport the wheelchair as convenient as possible, all detachable
parts (footrests, wheels, accessories) must be removed and the wheelchair
folded.

7.2. Seat in disabled vehicle

A
You can determine whether or not your wheelchair is approved for use
as a seat in a vehicle for transporting disabled people by referring to
the symbols on the CE sticker on the product:
Wheelchair suitable for use as a seat in a vehicle for
transporting disabled people (see fig. A)
Wheelchair not suitable for use as a seat in a vehicle for
transporting disabled people (see fig. B)
B
The wheelchair has also been marked with symbols on the frame
which quickly show you and your transport service if it is suitable for
transport in wheelchair accessible vehicles and where the fastening
points are located:
Wheelchair not suitable for use as a seat in a vehicle for
transporting disabled people (see fig. C)
C
Fixation points on the restraint system (see fig. D)
All products approved by B+B for use as seats in vehicles are tested in
accordance to ISO 7176-19. The tests in accordance to ISO 7176-
19 were performed using restraint systems from AMF-Bruns. The
correct mounting of the restraint system is a prerequisite for the safe
transportation of the products in a vehicle for transporting disabled
people and the basis for the approval. The restraint systems from
AMF-Bruns provide the ideal points for the provision of restraint force
D
for the purpose of securing the products in the vehicle for transporting
disabled people (known by the German term „Kraftknoten", which is
defined in the standard DIN 75078-2). For the purpose of providing
40
restraint in the vehicle for transporting disabled people (see fig.
D), the products must only be secured at these specific points
(„Kraftknoten" points).
If possible, use a permanently installed car seat and its belt system.
Stow the wheelchair in the luggage space. The person responsible for
the transportation should be familiar with the current regulations for
transportation as well as with the method of operating the vehicle for
transporting disabled people and the restraint system. Anchored 4-point
restraint systems must be used to secure the wheelchair in the vehicle.
If you have any queries about securing your product in a vehicle for
transporting disabled people, please contact the B+B customer service
on +49 (0)700/60007070.
