Securing The Occupant: Wheelchair Anchored Belts; Use And Fit Grades For Vehicle Anchored Belts - Sunrise Medical Quickie QRi Manual

QUICKIE/ZIPPIE
F. SECURING THE OCCUPANT:
WHEELCHAIR ANCHORED BELTS
Use only a pelvic belt system that meets the requirements of
ANSI/RESNA WC-4 section 19 and SAE J2249.
The wheelchair's referenced in this supplement are used by adults
and children who weigh more than 23kg (51lb) and are designed to
provide for the anchoring of a pelvic belt restraint that conforms to
the requirements of ANSI/RESNA WC-4, Section 19. They can be
used in conjuntion with a vehicle-anchored shoulder belt and a
standard lower-anchorage connector as a crashworthy three-point-
belt restraint in motor vehicles.
The use of postural pelvic belts attached to the wheelchair base or
seat frame is encouraged during travel. These belts should be posi-
tioned so that they don't interfere with the proper positioning of
crash worthy restraints. The postural belt should not be relied on
for occupant protection in crash situations unless it has been
designed to comply with the requirements of ANSI/RESNA WC-4,
Section 19.
1. Install the pelvic belt (A) and hardware(B) onto the pelvic belt
securement point (C) anchored to the seating frame of the
wheelchair. Use a 5mm Allen head wrench and torque to144
in-lbs when attaching the pelvic belt to the mounting anchor
(B). Pelvic belt bolt and nut are provided with transit brackets.
2. Repeat Step 1 for the opposite side.
G. USE AND FIT GRADES FOR VEHICLE ANCHORED BELTS
The wheelchairs named in this supplement, have an overall rating of
"A" with regard to accommodating the use and fit of vehicle-
anchored belts. This rating is scored as follows:
A = Excellent B = Good
The test for Lateral Stability Displacement for Point (P) is shown in
the figure below. The average test results for point (P) are:
• Quickie QRi =
• Quickie 2 =
• Quickie 2HD = 10.7mm Grade
• Quickie GT =
• Quickie LXi =
• Quickie IRIS =
