Informational Supplement 13
The upper-torso belt anchor point should be anchored above and behind
the top of the power chair occupant’s shoulder to ensure that the
occupant is properly restrained during transport. Both the pelvic and
upper-torso belt restraints should be adjusted as snugly as possible
consistent with user comfort.
WARNING! The buckle of belt restraint systems
should not be located near power chair
components that may come in contact with the
buckle release button in the event of a vehicle
accident or collision.
If your power chair is equipped with a crash-tested pelvic belt that is
anchored to the seat frame, complete the restraint system by attaching
the lower end of the WTORS upper-torso belt to the pelvic belt by
referring to the WTORS manufacturer’s instruction. Crash-tested power
chair-anchored pelvic belts will be labeled to indicate compliance to the
ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol 4, Section 19/ISO 7176-19 standards. See
figure 10.
