Informational Supplement 3
Introduction
MANDATORY! The following information pertains
to power chairs equipped with a factory-installed
Pride Transit Securement System. Read this
information in its entirety before use in a motor
vehicle. If you have any questions about this
information or about using your power chair as a
seat in a motor vehicle, contact your authorized
Pride Provider.
The occupied Pride Transit Securement System conforms with the standard
of ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol. 4, Section 19/ISO 7176-19 for the purpose of
enabling power chairs to be secured in certain types of motor vehicles. The
Transit Securement System, including manufacturer-installed front and rear
securement brackets and pelvic belt anchoring brackets, has been crash
tested in accordance with ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol. 4, Section 19/ISO 7176-
19, Frontal Impact Test, with a 168-lbs. (76.2-kg) surrogate occupant.
Notwithstanding this standard and testing conformance, many government
transportation agencies, at the time of publication, have not approved any
securement system of an occupied power chair in a motor vehicle. There-
fore, it is the position of Pride Mobility Products that the Transit Securement
System should only be utilized to secure an occupied power chair being
transported in a motor vehicle at the user’s discretion and in accordance
with ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol. 4, Section 19/ISO 7176-19 standards, which
are intended to increase safety, but do not suggest that compliance with the
standards will necessarily prevent serious injury or death of a secured power
chair occupant during motor vehicle transport.
In accordance with the ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol. 4, Section 19/ISO 7176-19
standards, the power chair user should transfer into the vehicle seat and use the
vehicle-installed belt restraint system if and whenever feasible. The Transit
Securement System is only available when factory-installed on new power
chairs, and cannot be retrofitted on existing power chairs or serviced in the field.
PROHIBITED! Do not modify your power chair in
any way not authorized by Pride. Do not make
alterations or substitutions to power chair
structural parts or frame components without
consulting Pride.
