5. USER SAFETY
INFORMATION
This Chapter contains detailed information regarding the
exact configuration of the Motion Composites wheelchairs
that were subjected to the frontal impact and other tests
required by ISO 7176-19. The results of that testing apply
only to the configuration of the wheelchair as tested and
described herein. Therefore, if you order your wheelchair
differently, such as with a seating system manufactured
by someone other than Motion Composites, you are
hereby advised that the wheelchair was not tested in
such different configuration and should not be considered
“transit approved” by Motion Composites. Because Motion
Composites has not tested the chair with such different
configurations, Motion Composites has no knowledge of
how the product would perform in such configuration.
Therefore, Motion Composites makes no claims or
warranties about the wheelchair’s performance in any
configuration other than the configuration described herein.
Motion Composites has not authorized any person to make
any such claims or warranties on its behalf.
6. WARNINGS
WARNING
You should contact Motion Composites Customer
Service, with any questions you may have about
using this wheelchair for seating in a motor vehicle,
at 1-866-650-6555 .
WARNING
This Chapter contains detailed information
regarding the exact configuration of the wheelchair
that was subjected to the frontal impact and
other tests required by ISO 7176-19. See “Motion
Composites Wheelchair Test Configuration” Section
11. The test results apply only to the configuration
of the wheelchair as tested and described herein.
Therefore, if you order your chair differently,
such as with a seating system manufactured
by someone other than Motion Composites, you
are hereby advised that the wheelchair was not
tested in such different configuration and should
not be considered “transit approved” by Motion
Composites. Because Motion Composites has not
tested the chair with such different configurations,
Motion Composites has no knowledge of how
the product would perform in such configuration.
Therefore, Motion Composites makes no claims
or warranties about the wheelchair’s performance
in any configuration other than the configuration
described herein. Motion Composites has not
authorized any person to make any such claims or
warranties on Motion Composites’ behalf.
WARNING
The wheelchair equipped with Motion Composites
Transit Tie Down Option has been dynamically
tested in a forward-facing orientation for a 30 mph
(48-km/h) frontal impact with varying weights, as
set forth in the “Motion Composites Wheelchair Test
Configuration” Section 11. The wheelchair equipped
with Motion Composites Transit Tie Down Option
has met the performance requirements for traveling
forward-facing in frontal impact conditions, and it
should be used ONLY for forward-facing seating in
motor vehicles. Its use in other orientations (e.g.,
rearward-facing or sideways-facing) has not been
tested, and it should NOT be used in such other
orientations.
WARNING
Do not ride this wheelchair in a motor vehicle if
your weight, together with the weight of all items
attached to the wheelchair (such as backpacks,
seat pouches, etc.) is more than 265 lb (120 kg).
WARNING
Alterations or substitutions should NOT be
made to the wheelchair securement points or to
structural or frame parts or components. The
Motion Composites wheelchairs were tested in the
configurations with the components specified in the
“Motion Composites Wheelchair Test Configuration”
Section 11. Any significant modification or
substitution to the wheelchair’s components
or seating could significantly alter the chair’s
performance during an impact.
WARNING
Motion Composites expressly disclaims that use
of its Transit Option on a Motion Composites
wheelchair will prevent the wheelchair user from
injury or death in the event of a motor vehicle
accident.
WARNING
A sudden stop and/or collision may structurally
damage your wheelchair. Such damage may not be
visible. IMMEDIATELY STOP using any wheelchair
that is or was involved in any such incident.
Because the structural damage may not be visible,
you MUST replace any wheelchair that is or was
involved in any such incident.
WARNING
Whenever feasible, wheelchair users should transfer
into the vehicle seat and use the Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) vehicle-installed restraint
system and the unoccupied wheelchair should be
stored in a cargo area or secured in the vehicle
during travel.
USE APPROPRIATE TIE DOWN SYSTEMS AND USE
THEM PROPERLY
