V. GENERAL WARNINGS
L. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
If possible and feasible, the rider should transfer to the Original Equipment
Manufacturer vehicle seat and use the OEM vehicle restraint.
Sunrise Medical does provide a WC-19 Wheelchair Tie-Down and Occupant
Restraint System, otherwise called a Transit Option. To Identify whether your
wheelchair has been manufactured with the Transit Option installed, look for
four points of securement. Two Front hooks (A), and two rear hooks (B).
These points are recognized by the securement point decal which can be
found on or near the securement points. (C) is a non-removable fastener.
This component must remain securely attached to the frame in order to
maintain Transit Safety
If your wheelchair has the Transit Option, please review the Transit Secure-
ment supplement that was provided with the wheelchair for additional infor-
mation and instructions. You can request a copy from your authorized suppli-
er, or call Sunrise medical at 1-800-333-4000 if you don’t have it.

crete, asphalt, indoor flooring, and carpets.
