2 SAFETY
WARNING
Wheelchair User
As a manufacturer of wheelchairs, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide variety of wheelchairs to meet many needs of the
end user. However, final selection of the type of wheelchair to be used by an individual rests solely with the user and his/
her healthcare professional capable of making such a selection.
Wheelchair Tie Down Restraints and Seat Positioning Straps (TRRO or TRBKTS)
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 114 to 209 lbs.
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.
Only use the transport brackets included with TRRO and TRBKTS for the purposes described in this manual.
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.
Refer to Transport Ready Option on page 107 for more information about transporting the wheelchair.
Only use the transport brackets included with TRRO and TRBKTS for the purposes described in this manual.
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the seat positioning strap is an option on this wheelchair (you may
order with or without the seat positioning strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat positioning strap as an
additional safeguard for the wheelchair user. The seat positioning strap is a positioning strap only. It is not designed for use
as a safety device withstanding high stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, strap MUST be
replaced IMMEDIATELY.
