CAUTION
INVACARE always advises that a Powerchair secured in a vehicle will not provide the equivalent
safety level and security as bespoke seating systems and recommends transfer to the vehicle
seating, but also recognises that it is not always practical for the user to be transferred.
In cases where transfer is not possible then the Powerchair should only be secured as follows:
NOTE
Your safety during transportation, largely depends upon the diligence of the person securing the
Tie-downs and passenger restraints, it is your responsibility to ensure that your Powerchair has
been secured safely.
1. The Spectra Blitz
TM
has been crash tested and has met all pass requirements of ISO 7176 Part
19 and is suitable for transportation with an occupant in a vehicle.
2. Seek confirmation from the transporter that the vehicle is suitably designed, insured and equipped
to transport a passenger seated in a Powerchair.
3. Any part of the Powerchair (accessories etc.) that can be easily detached should be removed and
stored in the vehicle luggage hold during transportation.
4. The Powerchair should always be transported in a forward facing direction. Rearward facing is
only acceptable if your head and back can be supported by a suitable bulkhead.
