T. TRANSIT OPTION AND USE
Refer also to sections VI-K: “Motor Vehicle Safety” for additional

WARNING
Contact Sunrise Medical customer service (800-333-4000) with
any questions about using this power wheelchair for seating in a
motor vehicle, or if your chair is a candidate for the transit option.
Whenever possible, 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 a specified crash test dummy restrained by both pelvic
and upper-torso belt(s) (shoulder belts). It has been determined
that both the pelvic and upper-torso belt(s) should be used to
reduce the possibility of head and chest impacts with vehicle com-
ponents. When travelling in a motor vehicle, use only Wheelchair
Tie-down and Occupant Restraint Systems (WTORS) which meet
the requirements of the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)
J2249 Recommended Practice.
WARNING
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 with wheelchair-anchored pelvic belts.
It has been dynamically tested to rely on wheelchair-anchored
pelvic belts. If desired, vehicle-anchored pelvic belts may also be
used. It is strongly recommended that the combination of both
pelvic and upper-torso belt(s) be used to reduce the risk of injury
if a sudden stop and/or collision were to occur.
WARNING
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 from the wheelchair 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.
WARNING
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. Wheelchairs involved in such incidents should be
replaced.
Spill proof batteries, such as “gel cells”, should be installed on
wheelchairs that will experience travel in a motor vehicle.
WARNING
NOTE–
Only use the transit brackets included with the Quickie
Pulse for the purposes described in this manual.
ABOUT TRANSPORT READY PACKAGES
The Quickie Pulse Transit System includes four factory-installed
transport brackets and an optional wheelchair anchored pelvic
belt. The Quickie Pulse 6 has been crash-tested in accordance
with ANSI-Resna WC Vol 1 Section 19 Frontal Impact Test
requirements for wheelchairs with a 170 lb crash dummy. As of
this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any
tie-down systems for transportation of a user while in a wheel-
chair, in a moving vehicle of any type. It is Sunrise Medical’s posi-
tion that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into the vehi-
cle seating when transport is necessary and that the restraints
made available by the auto industry be used.
Sunrise Medical does not recommend any wheelchair transporta-
tion systems
