CONVAID USER’S GUIDE
Trays & Other Wheelchair Components
WARNING: To reduce the risk of potential injury to the wheelchair user or other
occupants in a motor-vehicle crash, wheelchair-mounted accessories, such
as trays and respiratory equipment, must be removed and secured separately
during transit. Use tether straps or other strong attachment hardware to
prevent items from breaking loose and causing injury during a crash. If it is
absolutely necessary to keep a tray on the wheelchair during transit,
energy-absorbing padding must be placed between the edge of the tray and the
wheelchair user or serious injury may result during a crash.
