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 upper-torso belt(s) (shoulder belts), and that BOTH pelvic and upper-torso belt(s) should be used to reduce 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 wheelchair 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 WHEELCHAIR-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 RISK OF INJURY.

To reduce the potential of injury to vehicle occupants, wheelchair-mounted accessories, 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.

Seat angle is factory set at time of shipment. Adjustments to the wheelchair may void WC 19 compliance. To maintain compliance, refer to wheelchair service manual before making any adjustments.

DO NOT alter or substitute wheelchair frame parts, components, or seating systems.

A sudden stop and/or collision may structurally damage your wheelchair. Wheelchairs involved in such incidents should be replaced.

Spill proof batteries, such as “gel cells”, should be installed on wheelchairs to be used during travel in a motor vehicle.
