POWER WHEELCHAIR TIE DOWN INFORMATION
WARNING
:
Do not
engage in the following activities with your power wheelchair or serious injury
may result.
Do not
remain seated on your power wheelchair while it is being loaded into a vehicle using anything
other than a special wheelchair lift.
Riding on a platform lift is dangerous. Failure to check weight capacity, turn off controller, have the
required precise driving control capability or have the wheelchair properly maintained could result in
serious injury or death.
Do not
use the power wheelchair as a seat in a moving vehicle. As of this date, the Department of
Transportation has not approved any tie down system for transportation of a user while in a power
wheelchair in a moving vehicle of any type. The rider must be seated in a regular automotive seat and
restrained by an approved automobile safety belt. The rider must be warned that there is a many times
greater likelihood of sever injury or death in the event of an accident if they are not in the provided
automotive seat and restraint system. The following attachment points are provided for the sole purpose
of securing the mobility device without the rider. The power wheelchair and batteries MUST be inde-
pendently and properly restrained or stored in a separate compartment so as to prevent it from causing
injury in an accident.

Back anchor points - Place a strap around the lower portion of each armrest support.
Front anchor points - Place a strap around each anti-tip wheel support arm just above the small anti-tip
wheel.
DO NOT
drive up, down or across inclines greater than the rating for your style power wheelchair or tipping
will result. Refer to the Specifi cation Sheet (Please Note: Soft surfaces reduce the incline capability
by more than 50%). Wet or slick surfaces reduce steering and braking controls tremendously. Use
extreme caution in these circumstances.
DO NOT
travel down ramps at high speed. Doing so will reduce traction and increase stopping distance.
