Warnings - Motor Vehicle Transportation
-
Whenever possible, transfer out of your wheelchair installed with an AGILITY and into a manufacturer-installed vehicle seat, and
use the vehicle’s crash-tested occupant restraint system.
-
Failure to pay attention to these warnings could result in severe injury to the individual in the wheelchair or to others.
-
The AGILITY must be correctly and securely installed on the wheelchair. Follow all provided instructions and warnings.
-
Install an AGILITY on a wheelchair so the individual is seated in an upright position and the wheelchair is facing forward
during transportation in a motor vehicle. The AGILITY has only been crash tested on a wheelchair in the forward-facing position
per the test information provided in this operation manual.
-
The AGILITY must only be used with wheelchairs that comply with the performance requirements of ISO 7176-19 and that are
installed, used and maintained according to the wheelchair manufacturer’s instructions.
-
The wheelchair with an AGILITY must be used with an effective wheelchair securement system and a properly positioned,
crash-tested pelvic and shoulder-belt restraint, or Wheelchair Tiedown and Occupant Restraint System (WTORS), following the
manufacturer’s instructions.
-
The top of an AGILITY should be positioned as close as possible to the top of the individual’s shoulder to provide good support
in the event of a crash. The distance between the top of the individual’s shoulder and the top of the wheelchair back should not
exceed 61/2 in. (16.5 cm).
