If you ignore these Warnings or fail to inspect or maintain your
wheelchair as directed in the manual , you may fall, tip over or lose
control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others or
damage the wheelchair.
3. DEFINITION
ANSI/RESNA: American National Standards Institute/
Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology
Society of North America
ISO: International Standards Organization
Transit Tie-Downs 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 Tie-down and Occupant Restraint 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 wheelchair 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/ISO
7176-19 standards, and the wheelchair must have a transit
securement package conforming to the ANSI/RESNA WC/
Vol. 4, Section 19/ISO 717619 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 restraint system with both pelvic and upper torso belts
must be used to protect the wheelchair occupant and
minimize the likelihood of injury caused by contact with the
vehicle during a 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 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.
