-In cases where it is not mandatory, it is recommended to use a seat belt for the passenger in addition to the wheelchair restraint.
-For safety reasons, if you notice any damage to the wheelchair restraint system or the occupant’s seat belt due to use, replace it with one in good condition.
-It is recommended that the person responsible for handling the safety equipment be familiar with its use, both for installation and in case of an emergency.

Guides:
-For optimal performance, ensure that the pair of guides is perfectly aligned.
-When used in conjunction with chair bases, in addition to the above, the guides must be exactly parallel, and the holes in the guide grooves must be aligned on the same perpendicular line.
The distance between the two guides must coincide exactly with the centers of the holes in both seat legs.
-Regular cleaning of the guide grooves is recommended for proper operation.
-Ensure that the guide has been installed in the vehicle according to the specific requirements for each vehicle type and its intended use.
-We recommend that the installation of the guides in the vehicle be performed by qualified personnel, in accordance with the specific instructions and standards.

Seat bases:
- They must first be attached to the chair legs and then positioned precisely in the center of the guides.
- Make sure that all the holes in the chair leg have been used when attaching the base.
