For wheelchair and user facing forward in the vehicle

IMPORTANT:

Please read these instructions in full before commencing

installation. Users must also read the instructions in full

before using the product. These instructions must be

submitted to the user on delivery of the VarioDock and

should be kept at an easily accessible location in the

vehicle.

Dahl Engineering's VarioDock System has been tested in

accordance with, and satisfies the requirements of, ISO

10542-1:2012 and 7176-19:2008.

The docking system has been crash tested in frontal col-

lisions at 48 km/h, 20g, in connection with a wheelchair

weight of 200 kg + test dummies with a mass of 76.4kg

and 102kg where the lap belt was anchored to the floor

of the vehicle, (276.4 kg and 302 kg total weight).

The securing system for the wheelchair and safety belts for

the user may be designated with the abbreviation WTORS

(Wheelchair Tiedown & Occupant Restraint Systems) in

these instructions.

Warnings

In the event that the instructions and warnings in this guide are not followed,

there is a risk of death or serious injury to the wheelchair user and the other

passengers in the vehicle.

Installation must be carried out by an experienced technician/fitter.

The docking station must be serviced and parts replaced with original Dahl

parts according to the instructions of the service manual. Failure to comply

with the instructions of the service manual may render the product partially

or completely inoperative or cause damage to the product, which can result

4-5

in serious or lethal injury to the user and/or other passengers of the vehicle in

the event of fatal injury.

Never begin driving the vehicle whilst a wheelchair is being docked in the

docking station or if the user's safety belt is not secured.

7-12

Never begin driving the vehicle if the warning tone sounds and/or the red

13-15

warning lamp (LED) in the control panel flashes or lights up.

WTORS may only be used for forward-facing wheelchairs.

16-19

Contact Dahl Engineering or your dealer immediately if there is any doubt con-

20-21

cerning the use of the product or if the product has faults or non-conformities.

Users in wheelchairs should never be transported in the vehicle if certified

22-24

WTORS are not used.

25-26

The user should not be a passenger or driver of the vehicle if both lap belts

and shoulder belts are not used. This is to reduce the risk of the user's head or

chest hitting interior vehicle elements and other passengers.

10. The docking system, seat belts and components shall be subjected to a check

28-33

and maintenance inspection at least once a year in accordance with mainte-

34-35

nance interval and documentation.

11. The user should never try to repair, adjust or modify the WTORS components.

Alterations or modifications to the system are strongly discouraged. Any alter-

ations carried out without prior agreement with Dahl Engineering are entirely

the responsibility of the fitter and/or the user.

12. It is forbidden to combine Dahl WTORS components with those of other manu-

facturers. Some belt fittings/components will be very obviously incompatible,

while others may appear to engage correctly, but might not withstand crash

loadings or perform satisfactorily.

13. Do not attach components to weak/non-solid components or materials.

14. The fitter is responsible for ensuring that the installed unit satisfies all statuto-

ry requirements. Contact local/national authorities if there is any doubt in this

regard.

15. Incorrect installation of safety belts and the docking station can cause mal-

functions which can result in death or serious injury to the user.

16. Belt webbing must be protected against contact with sharp edges and corners,

contact with solvents, polishing agents, oil and caustic/corrosive fluids or ma-

terials (in particular battery acid). Damaged, worn, torn or contaminated belt

webbing and components must be replaced. This should be checked daily.

17. An airbag should be deactivated if the user is situated less than 300 mm from

the airbag, or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. An airbag should

also be deactivated if retrofitted parts block or have an effect on its inflation/

expansion. If it is necessary to deactivate or remove the airbag, it is impera-

tive, before fitting the docking system, to check if the vehicle manufacturer

can offer a safety belt which is approved to be fitted without an airbag.

18. A docking station which has been involved in a collision from which the vehi-

cle has had to be towed away or where the airbag has been deployed, must be

sent to DAHL Engineering for inspection and possible repair. Safety belts and

components must be replaced without separating the components, because

they may have suffered damage that is not visible to the naked eye.

19. Be sure to check national regulations with regard to minimum clear space

requirements and access to emergency exists for seats and wheelchairs for the

vehicle concerned.

20. It is essential, that wheelchair manufacturers' instructions, references and

warnings are followed when installing and using Dahl Docking Systems. The

EU medical device directive states that a CE-marked medical device which has

been customized outside the manufacturer's specifications thereby becomes

a customized medical device and that the CE-marking must be removed. Any-

one who customizes a CE-marked medical device outside the manufacturer's

specifications is responsible for quality, safety and performance of the device

and becomes the responsible manufacturer of the customized device.

Complying with the wheelchair manufacturer's user and installation guide

when installing the Dahl Docking System will ensure that the wheelchair

manufacturer's CE-marking will remain intact. Manufacturer manuals for all

CE-marked wheelchairs can be downloaded from our website.
