Transport - Wheelchair Tie-Down Restraints and Seat Restraints (TRRO or TRBKTS)
WARNING
Only use the transport brackets included with TRRO or TRBKTS for the purposes described in this manual.
TRRO (Transport Ready Option) - TRRO includes four factory-installed transport brackets and a wheelchair anchored pelvic belt. TRRO has been crash-tested in accordance with ANSI/RESNA WC Vol 1 Section 19 Frontal Impact Test requirements for wheelchairs with a 168 lb crash dummy, which corresponds to a person with a weight of 165 to 300 lbs.
TRBKTS (Wheelchair Transport Brackets) - TRBKTS includes four factory-installed wheelchair transport brackets. TRBKTS has not been crash-tested in accordance with WC 19. Use these transport brackets only to secure an unoccupied wheelchair during transport.
As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down systems for transportation of a user while in a wheelchair, in a moving vehicle of any type. It is Invacare’s position that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the restraints made available by the auto industry. Invacare cannot and does not recommend any wheelchair transportation systems.
Battery support brackets MUST be installed at all times. Otherwise, the wheelchair will not be WC19 compliant. Refer to Transport Ready Option (TRRO) on page 60.
