of the current section.
Any significant alteration or substitution
to the wheelchair’s components or seating
could significantly alter the chair’s perfor-
mance during an impact.
WARNING
It is not recommended to install secure-
ment point brackets, docking securement
adapters and/or pelvic belt restraint an-
chorages on the wheelchair after sale. Any
installation or modification of an occupied
transit anchor kit after sale must be made
at the Motion Composites factory.
WARNING
Motion Composites expressly disclaims
that use of its occupied transit anchor kit
option on a Motion Composites wheelchair
will prevent the wheelchair user from inju-
ry or death in the event of a motor vehicle
accident.
WARNING
Care should be taken when applying the
occupant restraint to position the seatbelt
buckle so that the release button will not
be contacted by wheelchair components
during a crash.
WARNING
Sufficient forward and rearward clear
space should be provided around the
wheelchair occupant in accordance with
the current manual.
WARNING
The wheelchair user should always trans-
fer into the vehicle seat and use the motor
vehicle installed restraint system whenev-
er feasible. The wheelchair should then be
stored and secured in the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not use your Motion Composites wheel-
chair with a WTORS unless the WTORS
has been installed fully in accordance with
the instructions of the manufacturer of the
WTORS.
WARNING
Always attach the WTORS to your Motion
Composites wheelchair at all four (4) of
the Motion Composites occupied transit
anchor kit option in accordance with the
instructions provided by the manufactur-
ers of the WTORS.
WARNING
Always position the wheelchair occupant
restraint system (pelvic belts and upper
chest belts), in accordance with the in-
structions of the WTORS and wheelchair
manufacturers. Use proper equipment.
Use only as instructed.
WARNING
You must use your wheelchair in accor-
dance with all warnings and instructions
in this user manual.
WARNING
The back rest angle may be adjustable
on your Motion Composites wheelchair.
Motion Composites recommends using the
same angle as the test wheelchair. Refer
to section Refer to section 9. TEST CON-
FIGURATION. Back supports should not be
reclined to more than 30 degrees to the
vertical during vehicle travel unless nec-
essary for the postural and medical needs
of the occupant.
WARNING
The use of postural pelvic belts attached
to the wheelchair base or seat frame is
encouraged during travel, but these belts
should be positioned so that they don’t
interfere with the proper positioning of
crash worthy belt restraints.
WARNING
Postural support accessories, such as
pelvic positioning belts, anterior trunk
supports and lateral trunk supports, shall
not be relied on for occupant restraint in
a moving vehicle unless they are labeled
in compliance with RESNA WC-4:2017,
Section 19 or ISO 7176-19:2019.
