CONTENTS
A. LIMITATIONS OF USE
1. These Unwin Rear Webbing tie-downs are designed to secure a wheelchair when facing forward in a
vehicle and must be used as instructed for forward-facing seating. The rear webbing tie-down are
designed to secure wheelchair weights up to 120kg with the exception of OR11 which is designed to
secure a wheelchair weight of up to 140kg.
2. OR01, OR02, ORS01 are wheelchair tie-down only and will require an additional occupant restraint.
3. OR09, OR10, OR11, ORS02 includes an occupant restraint for the wheelchair user.
4. In addition to the details given in these Instructions, users of Unwin webbing tie-down must refer to
the wheelchair manufacturer’s ‘Instructions For Use in Transport’ for full details of tie-down
attachment points on the wheelchair, plus any other specic instructions relating to use in transport.
5. Wheelchair users and their carers must make sure that their wheelchair is recommended for use in
transport, including any ‘add-on’ components such as power tilt or recline options.
6. The development of Unwin wheelchair tie-downs and occupant restraints is a continuous process.
Applications are added on a regular basis. For more detail contact Unwin or look on the Unwin
website.
B. GENERAL GUIDANCE
1. Wheelchair Accessories that have not been approved by the Wheelchair Manufacturer must be
removed from the wheelchair and secured in the vehicle during transport to reduce the
potential for injury. Refer to ‘Instructions For Use in Transport’ provided with the
wheelchair or contact wheelchair manufacturer for further guidance.
2. These rear tie-downs comply with all applicable requirements of ISO 10542 including a
48-km/h, 20g frontal impact test using a forward facing 85kg surrogate wheelchair and an ATD
(test dummy) with a mass of 76.3kg. The test dummy was restrained by both the pelvic and
upper-torso restraint as described in latter detail, use of a pelvic only belt may compromise
the performance of the WTORS system and should avoided.
3. If the installation is to be used with an occupant head rest anchored to the vehicle, then a
vehicle-anchored back rest must be provided to minimise rearward deection of the
wheelchair seatback, preventing neck injury.
4. Regular inspection of all parts is recommended and the equipment should be used only if all
components are in good condition. Warning: protect webbing from contacting sharp edges
and corners. Replace equipment if the webbing does becomes cut, contaminated or frayed.
6. Do not attempt to modify the equipment. For further advice on the installation and use of these
WTORS please contact Unwin. Please read this manual fully before use.
7. Avoid contact with corrosive liquids. Care should be taken to prevent contamination of the webbing
with polishes, oils and chemicals.
8. These WTORS should be installed by an experienced technician/ vehicle converter. Anchorages
should not be installed into unsound materials such as corroded metal, wood, plastic and bre glass
panels without additional and suitable reinforcement.
9. The equipment has been tested in a conguration similar to that recommended by Unwin , and any
deviation from the recommendations here is the responsibility of the installer.
C. BEFORE USING THE REAR TIE-DOWNS
1. Ensure that the wheelchair is correctly maintained and that the
settings of any adjustable parts are made according to ‘Instruction
for Use in Transport’.
2. Whenever possible remove any items of luggage etc that may be
attached to the wheelchair and secure or store separately during
transport in order to reduce the potential for injury to other
passengers travelling in the vehicle.
3. Extra care must be exercised when using vehicle boarding aids
such as passenger lifts or ramps during the loading process. Refer
to ‘Instructions For Use’ for information on safe slopes.
4. Position the wheelchair facing forward - centrally in the
designated region of the vehicle. Ensure the wheelchair brakes are
applied.
5. To minimise the potential for head injuries in an impact, allow a
clear space of at least 400 mm behind and 650 mm, (FCZ, front
clear zone), in front of the head of the wheelchair user. (Fig 1.).
The shoulder belt anchorage must be roof or side-wall anchored at a height level such that the belt
webbing passes over the midpoint of the occupant shoulder and at a height that is at or just above the
level of the occupants shoulders so as not to impose downward loads on the spine.
6. A height provision (HHT) ranging from 1000mm to 1550mm should be made, depending on the size
of the passenger. There should also be 200 mm of clear space either side of the wheelchair centre
line. If these clear space dimensions cannot be provided then any structure protruding into this space
should be adequately padded and comply with impact performance requirements of ECE Regulation
21 ‘FMVSS 201’. All vehicle padding should comply with the ammability requirements of ECE
Regulation 118 ‘FMVSS 302’.
7. Note: seated head height (HHT) ranges from as low as 1000mm for a 6-year old child to 1550mm for a
tall adult.
8. Wheelchair users, their carers and family are advised to check vehicle specications to ensure that
sucient oor space is available to accommodate the wheelchair and tie-down system. These
distances are based upon the desire to maintain clear zones for potential head excursions of
occupants provided with both upper and lower torso restraints.
9. Users of heavy powered wheelchairs are also advised to check vehicle carrying capacity. If in doubt
consult the vehicle supplier for further details.
10. Any airbag, as tted to the vehicle, shall only be used as a supplementary occupant restraint if
designed to be used in combination with the WTORS kit.
11. Installers of this kit should take note of any vehicle airbag position when planning the installation.
Airbags can cause serious injury if a wheelchair-seated occupant is seated too close to an airbag
position. If in doubt contact the vehicle manufacturer or your National Automotive Regulatory Body
for advice.

Unwin recommends the use of a 3 point occupant restraint system to provide greater protection
in case of an impact. However we also recognise that some vehicle layout/designs or specic
postural or medical conditions do not allow that style of seatbelts to be used easily.
This system is not ISO 10542 compliant if used in 2 point conguration.
Before tting the occupant restraint, ensure that the reversible stalk orange button is facing
outside in relation to the wheelchair. If the reversible stalk orange button faces inside, turn the
stalk 180º to sit in the right position.
In accordance with International regulations, standard Unwin occupant restraints are designed
to be used for passengers weighing 22kg or above. If the passenger weighs less than 22kg, Unwin
recommend that a suitable, and appropriately tested child restraint seat is used. This may involve a secondary seat belt restraint as recommended by the original seat
manufacturer.

I. EQUIPMENT STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Store the rear tie-downs safely o the vehicle oor to avoid damage and ensure that they would not
become projectiles in an accident or under heavy braking or cornering. This can be achieved by using
a storage bag such as SLR111 or similar.
2. Regularly inspect the tie-down for damage, wear or malfunction. If any problems are identied
replace them immediately.
3. All webbing and components can be cleaned as necessary, but care should be taken to prevent
contamination of the webbing with polish, oils and chemicals particularly acid, alkalis and fuels.
4. To clean the straps use warm soapy water and a clean soft cloth. Rinse with clear water, and allow to
air dry. To disinfect use a mild spray disinfectant and do not use products containing bleach.
Important: when cleaning or disinfecting do not immerse or ood buckles, karabiner or anchors in
the disinfectant or water.
