TRANSIT TIEDOWNS PACKAGE
Equipment installed on the wheelchair which allows the wheelchair
to be anchored in a motor vehicle. The Motion Composites transit
tie-down equipment consists of tie-down anchor points and a
pelvic belt.
WHEELCHAIR TIEDOWN AND OCCUPANT RE STRAINT
SYSTEM (WTORS)
Equipment installed in a motor vehicle which allows a wheelchair
and/or a wheelchair-seated occupant to be anchored in the motor
vehicle for limiting occupant movement in a motor vehicle crash.
The equipment consists of a system or device for securing the
wheelchair and a belt-type restraint system.
SECUREMENT POINTS
Specific structural points on the wheelchair base or seat frame that
are designed for attachment of a WTORS. These securement points
are indicated by anchor symbols.
4. PROTOCOLS AND PROCEDURES
The wheelchair user should transfer into the vehicle seat and use
the vehicle installed restraint system if and whenever feasible.
The wheelchair should then be stored and secured in the vehicle.
If it is found necessary at the user’s discretion to secure a wheel-
chair to a vehicle, the vehicle must be equipped with a Wheelchair
Tie-down and Occupant Restraint System (WTORS) that has been
installed in accordance with the tie-down manufacturer’s
instructions, and is compliant with ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol. 4,
Section 19 standards, and the wheelchair must have a transit
securement package conforming to the ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol. 4,
Section 19 standards. It is essential to use a complete WTORS to
secure the wheelchair to the vehicle and to provide the wheelchair
occupant with a properly designed and tested safety restraint
system.
A vehicle restraint system with both pelvic and upper torso belts
must be used to protect the wheelchair occupant and minimize
the likelihood of injury caused during a vehicle crash or
sudden braking.
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
WC-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 approvedî” 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.

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 vary-
ing weights, as set forth in the section 11. Motion Composites
Wheelchair Test Configuration. 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

together with the weight of all items attached to the
wheelchair (such as backpacks, seat pouches, etc.) is more
than 265 lb (120 kg).
