13.2 Occupant restraint instructions
WARNINGS!
The pelvic restraint belt must be worn low across the front •
of the pelvis (Fig 13.2) so that the angle of the pelvic belt
is within the preferred zone of 30° to 75° to the horizontal

A steeper (greater) angle within the preferred zone is •
desirable i.e. closer to, but never exceeding 75°.
Pelvic restraints should make full contact across the •
front of the body near the junction of the thigh and
pelvis, (Fig.13.4)
Restraint belts must not be held away from the body by •
wheelchair components or parts such as the armrests or
wheels. (Fig 13.4)
The upper torso restraint belt must fit over the shoulder •
and across the chest as illustrated. (Fig 13.5)
Restraint belts must be adjusted as tightly as possible •
consistent with user comfort
Restraint belt webbing must not be twisted when in use.•
13.3 Transportation of the Groove wheelchair
WARNING!
Due to the weight of the Groove wheelchair it is always
necessary to use a 6 strap tie down system, 4 straps at the rear
of the wheelchair and 2 at the front.
A representative FWD/RWD and MWD Groove wheelchair
has been tested in accordance with the dynamic performance
requirements specified in ISO 7176-19:2008 “Wheeled
Mobility Devices for use in Motor Vehicles”.
The 6 point strap restraint system, 4 straps at the rear and 2
straps at the front, conforms to ISO 10542 or SAE J2249 and
was used in accordance with the WTORS manufacturer’s
instructions.
The Unwins TITAN 1 restraint system was used for these tests.
However other 6 strap restraint systems may be used as long
as they conform to ISO10542 or SAE J2249 and are used in
accordance with the WTORS manufacturer’s instructions. They
must also be checked to make sure that they are sufficiently
specified for the weight of the wheelchair and rider
NOTE: In order to restrain the wheelchair effectively using a
six point strap system please ensure that the tie down straps
are correctly tensioned as per the WTORS manufacturers
instructions
