EQUIPMENT IN A MOTOR VEHICLE
1. INTRODUCTION
The Motion composites wheelchairs are available with a WC-19
Transit Tie-Down. This option is only offered as a factory-installed
option.
The Transit Tie-Down option has been crash-tested in accordance
and complies with RESNA WC-4:2012, Section 19 (“WC19”) for
frontal impact Test, with a 169.4-lb. (77 kg) surrogate occupant
corresponding to a user weight range of 115-210 lb (52.16 to 95.25
kg). The Motion Composites Transit Tie-Down Package conforms
to these standards for the purpose of enabling wheelchairs to be
secured in certain types of motor vehicles. The WC-19 Transit Tie-
Down option consists of four factory-installed Tie-Down Brackets, a
factory-installed Pelvic Belt with 2 Mounting Brackets on a standard
frame. It is approved for OCCUPIED transit use.
Therefore, there are several important considerations that users
of Motion Composites Transit Option must keep in mind. First, only
tests for wheelchair performance where the wheelchair, secured in
the forward-facing position, is involved in a frontal impact collision
at 30 mph (48 kph). It does not test for wheelchair performance
in any other type of collision, including, without limitation, side
impacts, rear impacts, rollovers or higher speed frontal impacts.
Second, compliance with WC-19 does not guarantee that the
occupant will not be injured, even in a frontal impact collision at
30 mph (48 kph) or less. In such an impact, the forces experienced
are very severe and injuries can be sustained even if the wheelchair
performs exactly as required by the standard.
Accordingly, ANSI/ RESNA WC/19 include numerous warnings
to the effect that ìwheelchair users should transfer to the vehicle
seat and use the vehicle-installed restraint system whenever it is
feasible.
A Motion Composites wheelchair transport option, for an
UNOCCUPIED wheelchair, is also available as an aftermarket, field
installation option for the Helio C2, HELIO A7, Helio XC2, Helio Kids,
Helio A6, and Move. This Wheelchair UNOCCUPIED Transport
Option has NOT been crash-tested in accordance with WC19.
The Wheelchair Transport Option only includes four Tie-Down
Brackets. It is only approved for transportation of an UNOCCUPIED
wheelchair.
To determine whether your Motion Composites wheelchair is
equipped with the WC-19 Transit Tie-Down Option or the Wheelchair
Transport Option, see section 3. Overview.
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.
DO NOT modify your wheelchair in any way by a non-authorized
Motion Composites center.
DO NOT make alterations or substitutions to the wheelchair
structural parts or frame components without consulting
Motion Composites.
