ƽ WARNING
Contact Invacare Corporation (800-333-6900) with any questions about using this
wheelchair for seating in a motor vehicle.
When feasible, wheelchair occupants should transfer into the vehicle seat and use
the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) vehicle-installed restraint system.
This wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a forward-facing mode with the
specified crash test dummy restrained by BOTH pelvic and shoulder belt(s), and
that BOTH pelvic and upper torso belt(s) should be used to reduce the possibility of
head and chest impacts with vehicle components.
Use ONLY Wheelchair Tie-down and Occupant Restraint Systems (WTORS) which
meet the requirements of the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) J2249
Recommended Practice during travel in a motor vehicle.
This wheelchair has been tested for seating in a motor vehicle with the factory
installed seating system ONLY.
This wheelchair MUST be in a forward facing position during travel in a motor
vehicle.
This wheelchair is equipped and has been dynamically tested to rely on
WHEELCHAIR-ANCHORED pelvic belts. If desired, VEHICLE-ANCHORED pelvic
belts may be used.
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT BOTH PELVIC AND UPPER-TORSO
BELT(S) BE USED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY.
To reduce the potential of injury to vehicle occupants, wheelchair-mounted
accessories, including but not limited to IV poles, trays, respiratory equipment,
backpacks, and other personal items should be removed and secured separately.
Postural supports, positioning devices, and/or strap(s) should not be relied on for
occupant restraint. These items may be used IN ADDITION TO the wheelchair-
anchored or vehicle-anchored belts.
Wheelchairs with adjustable seat angles MUST be set to 10°.
DO NOT alter or substitute wheelchair frame parts, components, or seating
systems.
A sudden stop and/or collision may structurally damage your wheelchair.
