Transit Models
Transit Option
The wheelchair transport model has been crash tested and complies with the requirements of RESNA
WC4:2012 section 19. Dummy weights are:
Flyer Models Back Cane Position Weight Capacity
FL12T/13T/14T/15T/16T Position 1 85 lbs./39 kg
FL12T/13T/14T/15T/16T Position 2/3/4 170 lbs./77 kg
The Flyer provides for anchoring of a crashworthy pelvic-belt restraint that conforms to requirements
of RESNA WC-4, and that can be used in conjunction with a vehicle-anchored shoulder belt with a
standard lower anchorage connector for effective crashworthy three-point belt restraint in a motor
vehicle. To reduce possibility of injury, the head support must always be used with the chair.
The following instructions should be followed to minimize impact in case of a crash:
1. During transit, the chair must be forward facing. All non-essential accessories should be removed.
2. Use only a tested, proven and compatible 4-point wheelchair tiedown system (WTORS) and a
3-point occupant restraint system in accordance with WC4-18.
3. The wheelchair tiedowns must be securely attached to the four red anchor points on the chair. See
arrows for anchor points. Fig. 124 & 125
4. The occupant restraints must include a lap and shoulder belt, secured directly to the Flyer mobility
base and the vehicle.
5. All oor tiedown straps must be drawn tight in the front and the back to eliminate any forward/aft
movement of the chair.
6. Wheelchair restraint manufacturers’ instructions must be followed precisely to ensure intended
performance.
