If you ignore these Warnings or fail to inspect or maintain your
wheelchair as directed in the manual , you may fall, tip over or lose
control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others or
damage the wheelchair.
WARNING
Our Motion Composites wheelchair MUST be used
with Wheelchair Tie Down and Occupant Restraint
Systems (WTORS) that meet the requirements
of the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)
J2249 Recommended Practice – Wheelchair Tie
Down and Occupant Restraint Systems for Use in
Motor Vehicles (SAE J2249). Do NOT use other
WTORS that are designed to rely on the wheelchair
structure to transfer occupant restraint loads to
the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not use your Motion Composites wheelchair with
a WTORS unless the WTORS has been installed
fully in accordance with the instructions of the
manufacturer of the WTORS and SAE J2249.
WARNING
Always attach the WTORS to your Motion
Composites wheelchair at all four (4) of the Motion
Composites Transit Option securement points in
accordance with the instructions provided by the
manufacturers of the WTORS and SAE J2249.
Note: See Figure 4 for the location of the four (4) Motion
Composites installed WTORS securement points.
WARNING
ALWAYS attach vehicle-anchored occupant
restraints (pelvic belts and upper torso belts)
in accordance with the instructions of the
manufacturer of such restraints and SAE J2249.
USE PROPER EQUIPMENT/USE ONLY AS
INSTRUCTED
WARNING
You MUST use your wheelchair in strict accordance
with all warnings and instructions contained in this
Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
The wheelchair equipped with Motion Composites’s
Transit Option was dynamically tested in a
forward-facing orientation with the specified
anthropomorphic test dummy restrained by BOTH
a vehicle-anchored pelvic belt and a vehicle-
anchored upper torso belt. BOTH pelvic and upper
torso (shoulder) belts should be used to reduce
the possibility of head and chest impacts with
components of the motor vehicle.
MOTION COMPOSITES REQUIRES THAT BOTH PELVIC
AND UPPER TORSO BELTS BE USED FOR MAXIMUM
PROTECTION IN A FRONTAL IMPACT COLLISION.
WARNING
The backrest angle may be adjustable on your
Motion Composites wheelchair. You must adjust
the backrest angle so that it does not exceed the
angle specified in appendix “Disclosure information”
on page 24 of the Owners Manual, when the
wheelchair is occupied during transit in a motor
vehicle.
WARNING
Postural supports, such as pelvic positioning belts,
anterior trunk supports and lateral trunk supports
should NOT be relied on for occupant restraint in a
moving vehicle unless they are labeled as being in
accordance with ISO 7176-19.
WARNING
Posturing and positioning accessories, such as
pelvic positioning belts, anterior trunk supports
and lateral trunk supports, should NEVER be relied
upon for occupant restraint in a moving vehicle
unless they are labeled as being in accordance with
the requirements specified in ISO 7176-19.
WARNING
Whenever possible, other auxiliary wheelchair
equipment should be either effectively secured to
the wheelchair or removed from the wheelchair and
secured in the vehicle during travel so that such
equipment does not break free and cause injury to
the vehicle occupants in the event of a collision.
WARNING
On order to reduce the potential of injury to
vehicle occupants, wheelchair-mounted trays and
other accessories, such as IV poles, respiratory
equipment, backpacks and other personal items,
not specifically designed for crash safety should: (i)
be removed and secured separately in the vehicle,
or (ii) be secured to the wheelchair but positioned
away from the occupant with energy absorbing
padding placed between the tray or other
accessory and the occupant.
