Crash Test - Leckey Tour Mobility Base Instrucciones Para El Usuario

12 Crash test

The Leckey Tour Mobility Base has been
crash tested facing forwards, with an Unwin
Restraint System, pelvic harnesses and chest
harnesses. Please see individual product
User Instructions for further details.
Leckey does not recommend the use of
a mobility base with a seating system
for transportation in a motor vehicle. Our
seating and mobility systems are designed
to be easily manoeuvrable, lightweight
and functional, which can conflict with the
requirements which a seat must fulfil for
transport in a motor vehicle. Furthermore
the incorrect use of additional wheelchair
tie-down systems and occupant restraint
systems may result in an increased safety
risk, which is not the case when using the
vehicle with anchored restraint systems
(seatbelts, headrest, airbags etc.). Leckey
highly recommend, whenever possible,
that the mobility system users transfer to
the seats installed in the motor vehicle and
use the corresponding vehicle restraint
systems. In the event of a motor vehicle
collision, Leckey cannot be held responsible
for any injury caused to the users of Leckey
products, if the occupant's restraint and tie-
down system has not been correctly applied.
An independent pelvic and shoulder
harness should be applied as the user's
restraint system. The harness must
conform to the standards described in
section 13. If independent harnesses
are not used, an independent vehicle-
anchored 3 point occupant belt restraint
system must be used instead.
The 4 point tie-down straps used to
secure the mobility base to the vehicle
must conform to the standards listed in
section 13 and be compatible with the
attached brackets on the mobility base.
Wheelchair mounted accessories,
such as trays, respiratory equipment
or communication devices should
be removed and secured elsewhere
during transport. It should be noted that
Leckey's products have been crash tested
without the accessories being mounted
and Leckey therefore can accept no
accountability for any injuries, should the
vehicle be involved in an accident.
If the Leckey product is involved in
a crash it must no longer be used
for the transport of the occupant(s).
We recommend that the product be
returned to Leckey for assessment or
replaced immediately. The reason for the
immediate replacement is due to the fact
that sudden stops or impacts during the
accident could structurally damage the
mobility base and seating system.
