IV. WHEELCHAIR USE & CONFIGURATION
C. Transfers
WARNING: Be trained and ensure that you can transfer on your own or with a person who
can assist you. It is dangerous to transfer on your own as it requires good balance and
agility. Be aware there is a point during every transfer when the wheelchair seat is not
below you. Failure to perform a transfer properly can result in a fall that could result in
severe injury or death.
NOTE: Before transferring out of your wheelchair every caution should be taken to reduce
the gap between the two surfaces.
1. Engage the wheel locks to lock the rear wheels.
2. Rotate the casters forward to increase the wheelbase of the wheelchair.
3. Remove or swing away the footrests.
4. Have someone assist you unless you are well experienced and able in transfers.
D. Transit Use
WARNING: Never use your wheelchair as a seat in a motor vehicle unless it has
been equipped with the transit option. It is always safest to transfer out of your
wheelchair onto a seat in a motor vehicle with appropriate seat and shoulder
belts. Using your wheelchair as a seat in a motor vehicle, if not equipped with the
transit option, could result in serious injury or death.
The wheelchair equipped with the transit option has been tested to and passed the RESNA WC-
4, Section 19: Wheelchairs used as seats in motor vehicles and ISO 7176-19 Wheelchairs -- Part
19: Wheeled mobility devices for use as seats in motor vehicles. RESNA and ISO standards are
designed to test the structural integrity of the wheelchair as a seat for use in a motor vehicle.
These standards are also designed to create compatibility with Wheelchair Tie-down and
Occupant Restraint Systems (WTORS).
Not every wheelchair configuration is compatible with the transit option. Ki Mobility manages the
configuration and does not offer this wheelchair except in compatible configurations. If you
make changes to your wheelchair after you receive it, you should contact your wheelchair
provider or Ki Mobility to make sure it is appropriate to continue to use your wheelchair as a seat
in a motor vehicle.
Aftermarket seating may have replaced the original equipment seat and back support designed
and tested as part of the transit option. Your wheelchair provider should tell you if the seating
they provided is original equipment or replacement aftermarket seating. A complete system of
wheelchair frame, seating, Wheelchair Tie-down and Occupant Restraint Systems and a
properly equipped motor vehicle, that have all complied with the standards mentioned in this
section, should be in place before using a wheelchair equipped with the transit option as a seat
in a motor vehicle.
When using your wheelchair as a seat in a motor vehicle you should always observe the
following instructions:
