CAUTION
: Whenever possible, the individual in the wheelchair with an AGILITY should transfer into a manufacturer-installed vehicle
seat and use the vehicle's crash-tested occupant restraint system.
AGILITY with Quick Release Attachment Hardware has been dynamically tested for use in a motor vehicle by a third-party testing facility.
Initial frontal impact test set-up included:
• AGILITY 20 in. (51 cm) in height
• Surrogate: ISO/RESNA wheelchair frame (SWCF); metal seat;
four-point, strap-type tie-down; and SWCF-anchored three-
point belt
• Hybrid III mid-size male seated facing forward and torso
upright
Testing, as described above, concluded that AGILITY meets all criteria for wheelchair seating systems proposed in Section 5.1.1 of
Section 20 ANSI/RESNA/ WC/Volume 4 "Wheelchair Seating Systems for Use in Motor Vehicles".
• Failure to pay attention to these warnings could result in severe injury to the individual in the wheelchair or to others.
• AGILITY must be correctly and securely installed on the wheelchair following all instructions and warnings provided in this operation
manual.
• AGILITY should be installed on a wheelchair so the individual is seated in an upright position and the wheelchair is facing forward
during transportation in a motor vehicle. AGILITY has only been crash tested on a wheelchair in the forward facing position per the test
information provided above.
• AGILITY must only be used with wheelchairs that comply with the performance requirements of ISO 7176-19 and that are installed, used
and maintained according to the wheelchair manufacturer's instructions.
• The wheelchair with an AGILITY must be used with an effective wheelchair securement system and a properly positioned, crash-tested
pelvic and shoulder-belt restraint, or Wheelchair Tiedown and Occupant Restraint System (WTORS), following manufacturer's instructions.
• The top of AGILITY should be positioned as close to the top of the shoulder as possible to provide good support in the event of a crash.
The distance between the top of the user's shoulder and the top of the back should not exceed 6.5 in. (16.5 cm).
• If an AGILITY is involved in a motor vehicle accident, see MAINTENANCE in this manual.
