Warning – Wheelchair Selection
Motion Composites manufactures several models of wheel-
chairs to meet the needs of the end users.
However, Motion Composites is not a health care advisor,
and we are not aware of the individual condition or needs
of the wheelchair user. Therefore, the final selection of a
particular model, its adjustments, the type of options and
accessories, rest solely with the wheelchair user and the
health care professional advisor. Choosing the best chair
and setup for your safety depends on the following criteria:
1. Your disability, strength, balance and coordination;
2. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use
(where you live and work and other places you are likely to
use your chair);
3 Your needs in terms of options for your safety and comfort
(such as anti-tippers, positioning belts or special seating
systems). If you ignore this warning, you may endanger
your health.
Warning – Occupied Transit Anchors and Tiedowns
The wheelchair user should always transfer into the
vehicle seat and use the motor vehicle installed re-
straint system whenever feasible. The wheelchair
should then be stored and secured in the vehicle.
If an appropriate transit system must be used, ensure that
the wheelchair is equipped with the Motion Composites tran-
sit anchor kit. It must also be ensured that the straps, hooks
and tiedowns of the Paratransit Vehicle’s tiedown system
meet the safety standards of the province, state or country
where the user is being transported, and installed according
to the tiedowns manufacturer’s standards.
Motion Composites cannot recommend, and does not
recommend, tiedowns or manufacturers of tiedown systems.
Warning – Seating
Restraints
It is the obligation of your dealer and health care pro-
fessionals advising you to determine if you require a
seating restraint or positioning system in order to en-
sure that you can safely operate your wheelchair. A
fall from a wheelchair may cause serious injuries.
