CONVAID USER’S GUIDE
WARNING:
Cruiser was dynamically crash tested in a forward-
facing configuration using an appropriately sized crash-test dummy
restrained by both upper-torso (shoulder) and lower- torso (lap) belts.
To reduce the possibility of head and chest injuries resulting from
contact with vehicle components, you must use both upper and lower
torso belts.
WARNING:
During transit, a five-point harness should be used for
occupant weight less than 51lb (23kg).
WARNING:
Both pelvic and torso restraint belts must be used while
traveling aboard a motor vehicle.
WARNING:
When riding aboard a motor vehicle, it is preferred that the
wheelchair user transfer into the vehicle’s manufacturer’s seat and use
a federally approved, crash-tested seat.
WARNING:
Whenever possible, auxiliary wheelchair equipment
should be removed from the wheelchair and secured in the vehicle
during transit so that it does not break free and cause injury to vehicle
occupants during a crash.
WARNING:
Do not use the chair if it has been involved in a crash. In
the event that your Cruiser is involved in a crash, please contact the
Convaid Service Dealer or Convaid Customer Service Representative
in order to arrange an evaluation of your Cruiser. For information on
how to contact your representative please see page 66.
