The equipment has been tested in a configuration similar to that recommended by Unwin, and any deviation from the recommendations here is the responsibility of the installer/user. These instructions refer use with both Unwin rails and Solo anchors, however the equipment may be used with any Unwin proprietary rail product.

Wheelchair and occupant restraint kits Kit 5 and Kit 8 • Wheelchair users, their carers and family are advised to check vehicle specifications to ensure that sufficient floor 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.
