Informational Supplement 7
Securing the Power Chair
NOTE: In addition to following the gen-
eral guidelines below, be sure to follow
all recommendations and instructions
provided by the WTORS manufacturer.
Always secure the power chair in a
forward-facing position in the
vehicle.
Attach the four tie-down straps only
to designated, labeled transit
securement points indicated by
anchor symbols on the power chair.
See figure 3, 4, and 5. Tighten the
straps to sufficiently remove all
slack.
Never attach tie-downs to adjustable,
moving, or removable parts of the
power chair such as armrests, front
riggings, and wheels.
Position the anchor points for the rear
tie-down straps directly behind the
rear securement points on the power
chair. The front tie-down straps
should anchor to floor points that are
spaced wider than the power chair to
provide increased lateral stability.
See figure 1.

Chair

WARNING! Ensure power chairs equipped with a
transit securement system are properly secured to
the motor vehicle during transport. Power chairs
that are not properly secured can become a hazard
to the user and to other vehicle passengers in the
event of a crash, sudden stopping, or swerving, as
the power chair could tip or slide out of place.
