THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT IS SUBJECT TO

WHEELCHAIR USER
As a manufacturer of wheelchairs, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide variety of
wheelchairs to meet many needs of the end user. However, final selection of the
type of wheelchair to be used by an individual rests solely with the user and his/her
healthcare professional capable of making such a selection.
WHEELCHAIR TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT RESTRAINTS (TRBKTS)
TRBKTS includes four factory-installed wheelchair transport brackets. TRBKTS has
not been crash-tested in accordance with WC 19. Use these transport brackets only
to secure an unoccupied wheelchair during transport.
As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down
systems for transportation of a user while in a wheelchair, in a moving vehicle of any
type. It is Invacare’s position that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into
appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the restraints
made available by the auto industry. Invacare cannot and does not recommend any
wheelchair transportation systems.
WARNING
TRANSPORT READY PACKAGES ARE NOT RETROFITTABLE TO EXISTING
MODELS AND ARE NOT FIELD SERVICEABLE.
TDX Only - Battery support brackets MUST be installed at all times. Refer to TDX
DANGER
Risk of Death or Serious Injury

the possibility of a fall from the wheelchair. The seat positioning strap is a position-
ing belt only. It is not designed for use as a safety device withstanding high stress
loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, seat positioning
strap MUST be replaced IMMEDIATELY.
