WARNING
Contact Invacare Corporation (800-333-6900) with any questions about using
this wheelchair for seating in a motor vehicle.
When feasible, wheelchair occupants should transfer into the vehicle seat and
use the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) vehicle-installed restraint
system.
This wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a forward-facing mode with
the specified crash test dummy restrained by BOTH pelvic and shoulder
belt(s), and that BOTH pelvic and upper torso belt(s) should be used to re-
duce the possibility of head and chest impacts with vehicle components.
Use ONLY Wheelchair Tie-down and Occupant Restraint Systems (WTORS)
which meet the requirements of the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)
J2249 Recommended Practice during travel in a motor vehicle.
This wheelchair has been tested for seating in a motor vehicle with the factory
installed seating system ONLY.
This wheelchair MUST be in a forward facing position during travel in a motor
vehicle.
This wheelchair is equipped, and has been dynamically tested to rely on WHEEL-
CHAIR-ANCHORED pelvic belts. If desired, VEHICLE-ANCHORED pelvic belts
may be used.
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT BOTH PELVIC AND UPPER-TORSO
BELT(S) BE USED.
To reduce the potential of injury to vehicle occupants, wheelchair-mounted accesso-
ries, including but not limited to IV poles, trays, respiratory equipment, backpacks,
and other personal items should be removed and secured separately.
Postural supports, positioning devices, and/or strap(s) should NOT be relied on for
occupant restraint. These items may be used IN ADDITION TO the wheelchair-
anchored or vehicle-anchored belts.
Ensure quick-release pins are engaged through bearing housings and tilt slides.
DO NOT alter or substitute wheelchair frame parts, components, or seating systems.
A sudden stop and/or collision may structurally damage your wheelchair. Wheel-
