CONVAID USER’S GUIDE
CAUTION: Rodeo was dynamically crash tested in a forward facing conguration
using an appropriately sized crash-test dummy restrained by both upper-torso
(shoulder) and lower-torso (lap) belts. To reduce the possibility of head and chest
injuries resulting from contact with vehicle components, you must use both upper
and lower torso belts.
CAUTION: Both pelvic and torso restraint belts must be used while traveling aboard
a motor vehicle.
CAUTION: Keep seatbelt release button away from other wheelchair components to
avoid releasing.
CAUTION: Whenever possible, auxiliary wheelchair equipment should be removed
from the wheelchair and secured in the vehicle during transit so that it does not
break free and cause injury to vehicle occupants.
CAUTION: Adequate clear zones are required for occupants restrained by both
upper- and lower-torso belt restraints. See Figs. 151 & 152.
CAUTION: The belt restraints must remain in position on skeletal portions of the
body and not place undue stress on the abdomen.
CAUTION: Do not alter or substitute any part or component of the wheelchair,
wheelchair frame or wheelchair seating system.
CAUTION: Do not attach tiedowns anywhere except designated tiedown locations.
CAUTION: Do not use the chair if it has been involved in a crash. In the event that
your Rodeo is involved in a crash, please contact the Convaid Service Dealer or
Convaid Customer Service Representative in order to arrange an evaluation of your
Rodeo.
