POSITIONING BELTS
WARNING
The angle of the pelvic belt should be within the preferred zone of 45 to 75 degrees
to the horizontal or within the optional zone of 30 to 45 degrees to the horizontal.
Steeper side-view pelvic belt angles are especially important if the pelvic belt is
intended to be used for postural support in addition to occupant restraint in a
frontal crash. Steeper angles will reduce the tendency for a vertical gap to develop
between the user and the belt due to compliance of seat cushions and belt move-
ment, thereby reducing the tendency for the user to slip under the belt and for the
belt to ride up on the soft abdomen during normal use. Steeper belt angles also
reduce the tendency for upper-torso belts to pull the pelvic belt onto the abdomen
during frontal impact loading.
1. Proper Installation
a. The pelvic belt should be worn low across the front of the pelvis.
b. Position the upper torso belts over the shoulders.
c. The belt(s) should not be held away from the body by the wheelchair compo-
nents or parts, including
but not limited to the armrests or wheels.
d. Ensure the belt(s) are not twisted.
e. Adjust belts as firmly as possible being mindful of user comfort
f.
Place the upper-torso belt across the middle of the shoulder and the center of
the chest, and connect to the pelvic belt near the hip of the power chair occu-
pant.
GENERAL USE WARNINGS
WARNING
If the total weight of the power chair exceeds 275lbs(125Kg), it is recommended that
two additional ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol.4, Section 18/ISO 10542 compliant rear secure-
ment straps be used to anchor the power chair during motor vehicle transport. For
power chairs that exceed the weight threshold mentioned above, It is further rec-
ommended that the vehicle used for transport have a gross vehicle weight greater
than 8800lbs(4000Kg) if the option exists.
WARNING
The buckle of the belt restraint system should not be located near any item that may
come in contact with the buckle release button in the event of a vehicle accident or
collision.
WARNING
If a recline angle is required during transport, the Power chair seat/back should be
positioned at an angle of no more than 30° to the vertical or the occupant is at risk
of injury from sliding under the restraint in the event of an accident or collision while
in the motor vehicle.
WARNING
Visually inspect all WTORS equipment at least once per month, and have worn or
broken components replaced immediately.
WARNING
Interior components that can’t be removed from the clear zones should be padded
with material that complies with FMVSS201.
WARNING
Although postural supports and belts may be used in a moving vehicle in addition to
the occupant belt restraint system, they should not be relied upon to replace occu-
pant restraints that have been designed and tested for the purpose of securing an
occupant during a motor vehicle collision or accident. Any postural supports that
can be used during transit, must be positioned so that they do not interfere with the
clear path for proper transit securement belt restraint.
