Proper Installation of Wheelchair Tiedowns

Utilizing wheelchair tie-downs is important particularly when transporting in a vehicle, such as a bus or van, if the individual is going to sit in the wheelchair during the trip. You can able to secure a wheelchair in a vehicle by utilizing tie-downs to maintain the wheelchair static. Bear in mind. Before you install the tie-downs, ensue that the wheelchair is sitting properly between a floor track and plates.





For one of the tie-downs, secure a track fitting into the track or floor track or plate with an electronic drill. Pull on the fitting to ensure that it is locked properly in place and then operate the tie-down around a strong part of the wheelchair. Install the tie-down by attaching the end of the hook into the opening ring. Pull the slack on the tie-down until it is properly tight. And then, repeat the steps on the other side.
