QUICKIE/ZIPPIE
C. COMPONENTS AND MOUNTED ACCESSORIES
1. 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, before transport in a motor
vehicle.
2. 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.
3. Wheelchairs with adjustable seat angles should be set to 10°. Do
not alter or substitute wheelchair frame parts, components, or
seating systems.
4. Do not modify your wheelchair, or add accessories that have not
been authorized by Sunrise Medical. Do not make alterations or
substitutions to wheelchair structural parts or frame components
without consulting Sunrise Medical.
D. WTORS SECUREMENT POINTS
The WCIS Transit System includes four factory-installed transport
NOTE -
brackets and a wheelchair anchored pelvic belt system.
Only use the transit brackets that have been included with your specific
wheelchair, and use them only for the purposes described in this supple-
ment. There should be 4 securement points. Depending on your specif-
ic wheelchair, the securement brackets may not look the same, and
may be in a different location that what is shown below. Figure 1 is
for illustrative purposes only.
Look for this symbol on your wheelchair. It indicates wheel-
chair securement points which conform to ANSI RESNA
(1998) V.1-Section 19 or ANSI/RESNA (2012) V.4 WC-19.
E. CLEAR ZONES FOR WHEELCHAIR IN A VEHICLE
The wheelchair must be in a forward facing position during travel in a
motor vehicle. The recommended clear zones for wheelchair seated
occupants restrained by both pelvic and upper-torso belt(s) and only by
a pelvic belt are shown at right
1. Frontal Clear Zone (FCZ) (Figures 3, 4) This minimum area should
be larger when upper-torso belt(s) are not used.
2. Frontal Clear Zone is measured from the front most point on an
occupant's head and is 26-inches with pelvic and upper-torso
belt(s) and 37-inches with only a pelvic belt.
3. The Frontal Clear Zone may not be achievable for wheelchair-
seated drivers.
4. The Rear Clear Zone (RCZ) (Figurest 3, 4) 16-inches from the
rearmost point on an occupant's head. There must be no obstruc-
tion in this area.
5. The estimated seated height (HHT) (figure 4) from the ground or
floor to the top of the wheelchair-seated occupant's head ranges
from approximately 47-inches for a small adult female to about 61-
inches for a tall adult male.
