WARNING
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 during travel in a Motor Ve-
hicle, (WTORS), which meet the requirements
of SAE J2249 recommended practice.
This wheelchair MUST be in a forward facing
position during travel in a Motor Vehicle.
This wheelchair is NOT equipped, and has NOT
been dynamically tested to rely on WHEEL-
CHAIR-ANCHORED pelvic and/or upper torso
restraint(s).
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 occu-
pant restraint. Wheelchairs with adjustable
seat angles MUST be set between 0 and 15
degrees. Wheelchairs with reclining backs
MUST be set and locked in an upright posi-
