Prep Occupant Securement

• 1. Vehicle in park, emergency brake on
  2. Attach shoulder belt & lap belt to wall or flip seat

Position Passenger

• 1. Position passenger forward facing on platform
  2. Apply wheel locks (manual chair) or turn off the power (electric)

Next Step

Releasing the Securements

• 1. Press button on wall to unlock securements
  2. Button changes from green to red
  3. 2 minutes to secure

Securement Principles

• 1. Attach to a WC19 attachment location or a good solid frame member
  2. No twisting/crossing belts, or belts resting on frame
  3. Try to achieve a 45 degree belt angle with the front & rear securements

Difficulty Finding Attachement Location

• 1. You may occasionally need to use webbing loops to secure difficult mobility devices
  2. Webbing Loops should only be used when necessary

Next Step

Aisle Side

• 1. Remove aisle portion of lap belt from platform and route close to the passenger's body

Wall-Side

• 1. Remove occupant securement from the wall/flip seat and connect to the aisle-side buckle
  2. Make sure belts are not held away from passenger's body by frame members
  3. Desired Fit: Shoulder belt across shoulder, lap belt across the pelvic region, release buckle low and tight on passenger’s hip

Difficulty Getting a Good Fit

• 1. Some devices require detaching wall-side occupant securement from connector on platform to route belt more effectively

Next Step

Lock the System

• 1. With the passenger and device secured, lock system by pressing wall button
  2. Button changes from red to green
  3. Green indicates system is locked

Webbing Loops: Check Tension

• 1. Check tension on webbing loops if used
  2. Perform 'push-pull' test to double check your securement

Next Step

Release Securement

• 1. To start deboarding, press wall button to release securements
  2. Button changes from green to red, indicating system is unlocked

Remove the Securements

• 1. Unbuckle occupant securement and attach buckle to back wall or flip seat
  2. Guide aisle-side lap belt and buckle back into platform
  3. Remove securement hooks from frame and lay hooks flat into channels
